What is a lead on Selyst?
A lead is a service request submitted by a buyer through Selyst. It includes information about what the buyer needs, based on the questions asked for that specific service category.
Which leads will I see?
The leads shown in your account are based on:
- The service categories added to your account
- The locations you have selected for those categories
- Any lead preferences or filters you have set
This helps you focus on opportunities that are more relevant to the services and locations you serve.

What is a Verified Lead?
Some buyers verify their phone number by entering an OTP sent by Selyst.
When this verification is completed, the lead is marked with a Verified Lead icon on the website and app.
What can I see before purchasing a lead?
Before purchasing, you can review information such as:
- The service category
- The buyer's requirements and answers to category-specific questions
- The buyer's location
- The number of coins required to purchase the lead
- Whether the buyer's phone number has been verified
- Lead badges
- How many other sellers have already purchased the lead
You can review this information before deciding whether the opportunity is suitable for your business.
Understanding Lead Badges
- Remote – The buyer is open to receiving the service remotely.
- Local Request – The buyer is looking for a professional who can serve their specified location.
- Additional Details – The buyer has provided extra information about their requirement beyond the standard questions.
- Custom Email – The buyer has used a domain-based or business email address rather than a common free email service such as Gmail.
- Large Project – The buyer's answers indicate that the requirement may represent a larger-value or larger-scope project.
How to filter leads on your dashboard
Use Lead Filters on the Leads dashboard to quickly find relevant opportunities among the leads available to your account.
Click Lead Filters to open the filtering options.
| Filter | What it does |
|---|---|
| Location | Shows leads for a location you have added to your account. |
| Category | Shows leads from a service category you have added. |
| Credits — Min and Max | Filters leads by their coin price. Enter a minimum, a maximum, or both to set your preferred range. |
| Be first to respond | Shows leads that no other seller has purchased through Selyst yet, giving you the opportunity to be the first to connect. |
Click Apply Filters to see the matching leads. Use Clear All to clear your filter selections.
Example: To find leads in a particular category costing no more than 10 coins, select the category, enter 10 in the Max field, and click Apply Filters. Tick Be first to respond as well if you only want leads with no sellers connected yet.
These filters narrow the leads you see on the dashboard. To change the categories or locations registered to your account, update them in Settings.
What happens after I purchase a lead?
Once you purchase a lead, you can see the buyer's:
- Full name
- Email address
- Phone number
You can then contact the buyer directly.
Tip: After purchasing a lead, you can add your own notes and classify the lead to make it easier to track, organise, and find later.
