Cooling-Off Period (System-Matched Leads Only)
What is the Cooling-Off Period?
72-Hour Purchase Restriction:
- Applies only to system-matched leads
- Prevents advisors from purchasing the lead immediately
- Gives the matched user time to book a meeting
- Lead becomes available for purchase after 72 hours
Why It Exists
Purpose:
- Allows matched users to book meetings with advisors
- Prevents advisors from immediately buying system-matched leads
- Ensures users have priority to initiate contact
- Maintains fair lead distribution
Timeline
Hour 0: System match created Hour 0-72: Cooling-off period (cannot purchase) Hour 72+: Lead available for purchase
Checking Availability
In Your Dashboard:
- System-matched prospect page shows countdown timer
- "Purchase" button disabled during cooling-off
