3.5.What happens once the survey has been completed?

3.5.1. Successful surveys:

Leads that have been marked as successful will move to the quotes phase of the workflow. The sales agent can now accurately quote the customer without any surprise costs. The lead will automatically be re-assigned to the original lead owner when it moves to the quotes phase of the workflow.

3.5.2. Failed Surveys:

In cases where the site survey was a failure, the lead will be closed. If at a later stage you need to view any of the details on this lead, you can find it under Surveys – Failed. Once the survey has been marked as a failure, you will not be able to move it back to successful surveys.
