Are you maximizing the sales derived from these valuable leads?

Let's look at how to enhance your lead tracking by integrating WhatConverts with your CRM.

Website visitors who submit a form, give you a call or start a chat have chosen your company as part of their buying process! Having a good Customer Relations Management (CRM) tool is helpful when the leads don't become a sale at first. It's often necessary to follow up on the lead before earning their sale. To do this effectively, a CRM is necessary for managing incoming and outgoing leads and contacts.

However, having a great CRM alone doesn't tell you where your leads came from or what marketing led them to convert. Having great inbound lead tracking fixes this gap in information and gives you the details for incoming leads (the who, what, when and how) and your takes inbound lead tracking and organization to the next level. Using incoming lead tracking in addition to your CRM provides customer insights (such as what initially brought them to call, submit a form or begin a chat) to give you a better picture of how to interact with your customer and have a more clear idea of where they are in the buying process.
