Lead sources

The IndiaMART enquiry came at ten. Somebody downloaded the sheet at four. The buyer had already ordered.

A directory buyer enquires with several suppliers at once. The Telodial indiamart leads crm rings them while you are still the first one to call.

Enquiries arrive on their own with the source tagged, land in a caller queue with an owner, and the time between arriving and being rung becomes a number you can watch.

How do I get IndiaMART and JustDial leads into a CRM?

By connecting the source rather than downloading from it. Directory enquiries are the most time-sensitive leads most Indian businesses receive, because a buyer posting a requirement is contacted by several suppliers within the hour and generally deals with whoever answers first. An indiamart leads crm from Telodial takes those enquiries through a connected sheet or an endpoint, so a new row becomes a lead with the source stamped on it, an owner assigned and a notification on that person phone, in minutes rather than at whatever hour somebody next exports a file. Because the source is recorded at the moment of arrival, the question of whether a directory subscription pays for itself becomes arithmetic instead of an argument: you compare customers won by source, not enquiries received.

  • Enquiries arrive without anybody downloading
  • Source stamped on every lead
  • Assigned and notified in minutes
  • Directory spend measured on customers, not leads
How it works

IndiaMART and JustDial, step by step

1

Connect the source

Point the app at the sheet or endpoint your enquiries already land in. Nothing has to be rebuilt and the existing export keeps working as it does.

2

Rows become leads

Each new enquiry arrives with the source tagged. A number already in the system merges rather than appearing twice, so a repeat buyer stays one record.

3

Somebody is told

The assigned caller gets a notification that opens the lead in one tap, and it goes to the top of their queue rather than into a list of four hundred.

4

The spend gets measured

Because the source is on the lead from the start, you can compare what each directory produced in customers rather than in enquiry counts.

When this is not what you need

This does not scrape anything or log into a portal on your behalf. It reads a sheet or an endpoint that your enquiries already reach, which is the arrangement most Indian businesses already have with these directories.

What callers and owners tell us

The remark from the last call sits on the screen before I say hello. Customers notice. One of them asked how I remembered his son’s admission date.

Duplicate numbers merge instead of making a second record. Our old sheet had the same buyer three times under three spellings.

We built our own statuses in about ten minutes. Not somebody else’s pipeline forced onto our business.

Quotes come from customers who agreed to be named this way, shared on WhatsApp or on calls, and trimmed only for length. We publish no star rating or review count, because we will not show a number we cannot show you the source of. Last checked September 2026.

Questions

IndiaMART and JustDial: what people ask

How quickly do directory leads go cold?

Hours, often less. A buyer who posts a requirement is contacted by several suppliers quickly and usually deals with whoever responds first, so the gap between arrival and first call matters more than anything said on the call.

Does this work for JustDial as well as IndiaMART?

Yes, and for any source that can write a row to a sheet or post to an endpoint, including your website form, a landing page or an agency feed. The mechanism is the same and the source tag tells them apart.

What if the same buyer enquires twice?

They merge on the phone number, with both sources kept on the one record. Two records for one buyer is how two of your callers end up ringing them within the hour.

Can I tell which directory is worth the subscription?

Only if the source is stamped at arrival, which it is. Compare customers won rather than enquiries received: a cheap source producing many enquiries that never convert costs more than an expensive one producing few that do.

What breaks a connected source?

Nine times in ten, somebody retitles a column. Shuffling the order is harmless; changing a heading is not, and you get no error to warn you, the enquiries simply stop turning up. Settle it with whoever owns that sheet: headings do not change.

Is there an extra charge for this?

No. It is part of the one plan, like everything else on this site.

Why directory enquiries are the most time-sensitive leads you get

Updated 4 August 2026

Where directory leads are lost

Somebody downloads the sheet twice a day.

Connect it instead. The download interval is your response time, whatever anybody intends. A buyer posting a requirement hears from several suppliers within the hour, and the download schedule decides whether you are one of them.

The enquiry arrives but nobody is told.

Notify the assigned caller. A lead that lands silently is found when somebody scrolls to it. Automatic import without notification moves the delay rather than removing it.

You cannot tell whether the subscription pays.

Tag the source at arrival, then compare customers. Enquiry counts flatter every directory. Customers won is the only comparison that settles a renewal decision, and it needs the tag to have been there from the start.

What buyers ask about directory leads

How fast do IndiaMART and JustDial leads go cold?

Hours, sometimes less. The buyer has posted a requirement precisely so that several suppliers contact them, and they generally deal with whoever responds first. Speed here outranks anything said on the call.

Does this log into the portal for me?

No, and be wary of anything that claims to. It reads a sheet or an endpoint your enquiries already reach, which is the arrangement most Indian businesses already have with these directories through their own account settings or their agency.

What if we get the same buyer from two directories?

They merge on the number with both sources kept on one record. Two records for one buyer is how two of your own callers ring them within the hour, which is worse than either call arriving slightly late.

Can I route directory leads to a specific person?

Yes, by source, which is the common arrangement when one person owns the relationship with a portal. Rotation works too if your callers are interchangeable.

Why do connections stop working?

Almost always a renamed column heading in the source sheet. Reordering survives, renaming does not, and nothing errors, so leads simply stop arriving. Agree with whoever maintains that sheet that headings are fixed.

What this page rests on

  • The import mechanism described reads a sheet or endpoint rather than accessing any directory account, and this page says so plainly.
  • The failure modes listed are the ones that actually break these connections in practice.

What this page does not claim

  • We do not speak for IndiaMART or JustDial and their export arrangements are theirs to change. Confirm what your own subscription provides.

The short version

  • Directory buyers post a requirement so several suppliers contact them, and usually deal with whoever answers first.
  • The interval at which somebody downloads a sheet is the real response time.
  • Automatic import without a notification moves the delay rather than removing it.
  • The same buyer arriving from two directories should merge on the number, not become two leads.
  • A renamed column heading is the most common reason a connected lead source silently stops.
