Sometimes you may need to delete a Lead from the system. This guide explains how Administrators can assign a Deleted status to both Active and Cancelled Leads. Deleted Leads get completely removed from CallPotential, and depending on your property management software, from that as well. Since Deleted Leads are completely removed from the system, they do not impact your conversion rates.
