  • What are the different lifecycle stages?

    Subscriber: Think of subscribers as those folks who know about you and have opted in to hear from you periodically. In many cases your subscriber base is the segment of your contacts database that has only signed up for your blog or newsletter and nothing else. You should nurture a long-term relationship with subscribers and offer them content that will increase the chances that they will move forward in the customer lifecycle.

    Lead: Leads have shown more interest in what you offer than subscribers have. Typically a lead has filled out a form with more than just an email address, often for some sort of content-based offer on your website. We see companies use the lead lifecycle stage for what we think of as general, broadly appealing, or top of the funnel offers. As each lead demonstrates a higher degree of sales readiness and qualification, they will move to further stages.

    Marketing Qualified Lead: Marketing Qualified Leads, commonly known as MQLs, are those people who have raised their hands (metaphorically speaking) and identified themselves as more deeply engaged, sales-ready contacts than your usual leads, but who have not yet become fully fledged opportunities. Ideally, you should only allow certain, designated forms to trigger the promotion of a lead to the MQL stage, specifically those that gate bottom of the funnel offers like demo requests, buying guides, and other sales-ready calls to action.

    Sales Qualified Lead: Sales Qualified Leads are those that your sales team has accepted as worthy of a direct sales follow up. Using this stage will help your sales and marketing teams stay firmly on the same page in terms of the quality and volume of leads that you are handing over to your sales team.

    Opportunity: Opportunities are contacts who have become real sales opportunities in your CRM.

    Customer: This is everybody's favorite lifecycle stage: an actual, paying customer.

    Evangelist: Evangelists are those contacts that are advocates for your business - they sing your praises from the rooftops! They are usually a small but vocal group who will refer new business to you unsolicited. Leveraging their networks often bring in new customers and help you reach leads you may not have been able to otherwise.

    Other: Other is the wildcard lifecycle stage. Examples of what this stage has been used for include: closed lost opportunities, customer renewals, and key accounts.

  • How do I track my leads sources?

    Your CRM automatically displays your Ad campaign names. You need to tag your advert destination URLs with Source utm tags in order for this to work.

    There're 5 parameters you can add to your URLs:

    • utm_source - the advertiser that is sending leads to your website;
    • utm_medium - the advertising or marketing medium;
    • utm_campaign - the campaign name, slogan, etc.
    • utm_term - the paid search keyword (optional);
    • utm_content - differentiate similar content withing the same ad (optional).

    Example of an URL:
    http://www.example.com/?utm_source=newsletter1&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=summer-sale&utm_content=toplink

  • How do I create my email template?

    When creating your emails, you can use pre-built templates that come along with the system or it is also possible to create your custom templates like you create the HTML pages.

    We prepared a set of email templates that can automate your marketing efforts and help you achieve your marketing goals. They can be found in a drop-down menu on the Email tab with "crm-" prefix.

    email-template-default-template

    Once you select one of them, the default text will be pre-populated in the email body where you can adjust it according to your needs.

    email-template-adjustments

    By clicking button, you can see how your email will look like.

    If you want to create your own template, it is easier to start with modifying an existing one. If you're an admin in the system, just click and then edit content icon. Once you edit the text In the popped-up window and save it, it will be pre-populated in the email body each time you select this template.

    email-template-preview

    In case you want to rename your email template, on the Preview page, click and then go to LAYOUT / Edit this template on Admin panel and modify the template name.
