Lead tracking is a means of organizing information about sales leads. Your program gathers data about each potential sale that visits your web site, or participates in a webinar, or meets you at a show or event. Lead management helps you accomplish other goals as well.
How to Use Lead Tracking
There are several ways to use lead tracking data in your organization. The method will probably depend on the size of your team and the number of leads coming in at once.
If you have a small shop and a small staff with a small but regular number of leads, you might be able to handle lead tracking manually. In this case, you create a data file for each contact, lead, prospect and customer. You gather and log in as much relevant information as possible. If your staff divides functions, you will need to decide who needs access to the information.
If you have a bigger company, a larger team or if you are managing information about more people, you probably should look into software or a contact management service to help with tracking. Good lead tracking will be able to help sales, marketing, customer service and management in several areas:
1. Analyzing landing pages and the way visitors are moved through your web site to a sale or to giving you personal information.
2. Testing and revising your registration form and “contact us” page.
3. Evaluating your blogs, social media activities, content marketing, advertising and keywords for their effectiveness in bringing people to your site.
4. Improve your sales processes with feedback and insights from prospect interactions.
5. Evaluating the way customers are managed for future sales.
If you have a large company, tracking leads as they move from the web site and from marketing to the sales without being lost will be one of your top challenges. A more sophisticated tracking process will be needed for effective lead conversion.
The Importance of Lead Tracking
If you do not do a good job of lead management, you will not be able to keep track of the people who show interest in your company. If you lose track of them somewhere in your system, you almost always lose the sale before you find the file. Lead tracking is also the best way to constantly improve your marketing plan, your landing pages, and your sales program. Without lead management, tracking and analysis, your growth will be very limited.
