A prospect is a potential client you are cultivating. Like clients, prospects are organized as households in Slant, but they have not yet signed on as paying customers.

How prospects work

Prospects share the same household structure as clients:
  • Head of household (required) — The primary contact person
  • Spouse or partner (optional) — A second primary person
  • Dependents and other members (optional) — Children, other adults, and other dependents
The key difference is that prospects do not have service tiers, custodian account linking, or review scheduling. These features activate when you promote a prospect to client.
