Billboards & Websites - Why You Need a Good Lead Box

By: Anna Yates Tuesday February 4, 2020 comments Tags: lead boxes, website

Websites are like billboards, as in that they provide a way to grab your prospects attention. But, what if customers could give their contact information to the billboard? What if I told you that your website could already do that? 

Your website needs to attract attention, but it also needs to provide a way for potential clients to respond so you can follow up with them. With lead boxes, you can make sure your website reaches out to customers instead of just sitting there like a billboard.

Lead Boxes the Old Way

A lot of people already have lead boxes that are connected to popular email marketing systems like MailChimp. Here's what goes down too often:

1. A website visitor fills out the lead box.
2. Their name goes on a master list and they get a generic email. 
3. They don't respond to the email blast.
4. The company loses the sale without another way to follow up.

The problem with those popular email marketing systems?

1. They're not automatically synced with your CRM (customer relationship management system).
2. You can't automate or customize the process of exporting/uploading contacts.
3. You don't have a variety of ways to follow up with leads.
4. You can't get insights on your leads or their interest level. 

Lead Boxes the New Way

No more clunky exporting and uploading. No more generic email blasts. No more guessing as to who you've contacted how many times. No more wasted time or lost sales. With the new way of doing lead boxes, you can:

1. Automatically input website leads in your CRM.
2. Tag and categorize leads according to which lead box they filled out.
3. Integrate them in email campaigns designed to inform and build trust with them.
4. Contact leads through phone and print, not just email.
5. See the name, phone, and IP address of contacts who opened your emails or unsubscribed from the campaign.
6. Encourage contacts to subscribe to other material when they unsubscribe from a campaign.
7. Set filters and generate reports on the leads you need to follow up with that day.
8. Keep records of how you contacted each lead, their responses, and interest level. 
9. Track which sales team member is working with which lead.
