How do I get my lead? 

  1. There are many ways to receive leads generated on discoverboating.com. Contact support@growboating.orgto change the method you use to receive leads. 
    1. Email Notification – this is the default method. If you are assigned to receive a lead, an email will be sent to the contacts designated in Growboating.org to receive leads for your brand or dealership. The email will provide a link to view the lead information within the DBLS. 
    2. ADF or FSDF XML Email – this method is available upon request. These emails are not meant to be read by OEM or dealer personnel, but instead are designed to be automatically ingested into a CRM system. Check with your CRM provider to see if this format is supported by the CRM you use. 
    3. Remote Lead Export – this method is an API designed to be used by a CRM system to retrieve leads on a regularly scheduled basis. As opposed to the email methods, this is a “Pull” process to retrieve leads as opposed to a “Push” method. This method is useful for getting leads in batch to process into a CRM system. Check with your CRM provider to see if this format is supported by the CRM you use.
