Best Practices

Location Selection

• Start with specific areas
• Use reasonable radius (5-20 km)
• Avoid overlapping agents

Quality Filters

• Require phone for cold calling
• Require email for email campaigns
• Higher ratings = better businesses

Activation Strategy

• Don't activate all channels at once
• Test one channel first
• Personalize activation messages

Troubleshooting

No leads found

• Expand search radius
• Broaden business category
• Reduce quality filter strictness
• Check if location is correct

Too many duplicates

• Agent is re-finding same businesses
• Consider a new location
• Mark agent as completed

Activation not working

• Verify Activation Agent is active
• Check channel connection
• Review daily limits

Agent stuck on "Running"

• Refresh the page
• Check for API errors
• Contact support if persists
