Email alerts let you know when a wanted advert has been placed so that you can
decide whether you wish contact the consumer. Wantedpronto covers many product
types and covers the whole of the UK. Our objective is to send you leads that
are relevant to your business. When you register you select the product
categories you are interested in and these will be the ones for which you
receive email alerts.
NB: If you did not add any product categories to your account when you
registered you will not receive any email alerts.
Adding categories for email alerts
If you wish to add new categories to your account this can be done at any
time after registration. Go to the Home page and, using the categories list on
the left select the product category you wish to add. (Alternatively you can
use the search function to find a category or you can type in the keyword and
select from the list) Once you have selected a category, details of leads in
that category will appear in the main part of the page. Beneath the orange bar,
you will see the text 'Assign this category to my account and receive email
alerts'. By clicking on this link you will add the category to your account and
you will start receiving email alerts for wanted ads for this category in your
geographical area. You can add multiple categories to your account.
To check which categories you have added to your account click on the 'My
Account' button and select the 'Account' tab. Here you will find a list of all
the categories you are currently assigned to and for which you will receive
email alerts.
Removing categories for email alerts
You can remove categories by clicking on the 'My Account' button and selecting
the 'Account' tab. Here you will find a list of all the categories you are
currently assigned to and for which you will receive email alerts. Beside each
category you will find a button to click on to remove the category.
When you are on the 'Account' page you will see a number of other headings
including;
Category URL
This allows you to add a URL for your website. We advise that you use
a URL that is relevant to the category you are subscribing to. This URL will be
made available to the consumer along with your contact information when
you have viewed their details.
Status
All categories that are added to the email alerts list will
automatically go into
Pending status and you will receive the alerts for that category. If you see a
"denied" status, then you will be unable to view the contact details for wants
in that particular category.
Options
This allows you to remove email alerts if you no longer wish to
receive them for a particular category.
You will receive email alerts for the geographical areas you select. When you register you select the geographical areas for which you wish to receive leads. You can change your geographical areas at any time after registration by going into your account, clicking on the 'Account' tab, and then clicking on the 'View / Change geographical area' button.
If this option is missing you will see the option 'Set geographical area'. This probably means that you originally signed up on the consumer side of the system, but have started to use the supplier side. That's fine but you need to selct your geographical settings before you can use the system to view consumer contact details and receive email alerts relevant to your territory.
Selecting geographical areas does not prevent you from browsing wantedpronto for leads in other areas.
Category is the term used within wantedpronto to identify a type of product or service. This allows suppliers to find the type of leads they are interested in with the minimum of fuss. Furthermore, by using categories, suppliers can be sent email alerts for their specific product area(s).
To automatically be one of the suppliers shortlisted to receive the leads in a particular category you need to have a Premium Account. Please call the Partner Development Team on 0870 774 2007 and enquire about the Wantedpronto Premium Account.

need
When placing a wanted advert the consumer completes a questionnaire which
is designed to identify the key information that suppliers need when they are
looking for new business leads. Their answers are displayed in this section.
Once you have found a lead you think will work for your business press the view details button.
After you have contacted a customer we will ask you for feedback on how it went. This feedback will be made available to all suppliers so they can make an informed choice when acquiring leads.
