Asking your team leader to pay for an order
How an agent on a team sends an order to their leader for approval instead of paying, and what happens when the leader approves, declines or does not answer.
3 min read
Before you start
- A CLSD account on a team, with a leader somewhere above you
- At least one delivery method
Tip
Your leader pays the price of the day, so send the request when you are ready for the leads rather than days ahead.
If you are on a team, you can send a Premier order to your team leader and ask them to pay for it. Nothing is charged to your card. The order is placed only when a leader approves it, and the leads come to you through your own delivery methods.
Sending a request
Step 1. Fill in the order form
Click Order Leads at the top of any page and fill in the form as you would for any one time order. Choose the lead type, the quantity, your states, your delivery methods and a start date, and check the agreement box. See Placing an order and choosing a start date.
Step 2. Click Request approval
When a leader above you can approve purchases, a Request approval button sits next to Purchase at the bottom of the form, and a short note under Payment Method names the group your request goes to. Click Request approval. The form runs the same checks it runs before a payment, closes, and a message confirms where the request went.
Note
The option is offered for one time orders only. A weekly subscription bills every week, which a single approval cannot cover.
Who receives it
Your request goes to the nearest group above you that has a leader. If you lead your own team, it goes to whoever leads you. Any leader of that group, or of a group above it, can approve or decline it.
What happens next
- Approved. Your leader pays with one of their own cards. You get a notification that your order request was approved, and the order appears on your Orders page like any other. The leads go to the delivery methods you chose.
- Declined. You get a notification that your order request was declined, with your leader's note if they wrote one. Nothing is charged and no order is created.
- No answer. A request expires seven days after you send it. Nothing is charged and no order is created. Send a new one if you still want the leads.
Frequently asked questions
Does my leader pay the price I saw?
Your leader pays the price of the day for your lead type and quantity. If the price changed after you asked, your leader is shown the new total before they pay.
Can I use a coupon on a request?
No. A coupon applies to your own payment only and is not carried over to a request.
I do not see the Request approval button
The button appears only when someone above you on your team can approve purchases, and only for a one time order you are placing for yourself. If you think you should see it, ask your leader or contact us. See Getting support.
Can I take a request back?
Not yet. Ask your leader to decline it, or let it expire.
