Send web leads straight to Legrand CRM!

ABA Admin — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 08:45:14 +0000

These days most businesses have a ‘Contact Us’ form on their web site where visitors can register their interest and request information. But what happens next? Processing these web leads is a challenge. Typically it’s a manual process fraught with the danger that the lead is left unattended – it either gets lost in the ‘system’ or buried in someone’s email inbox.

The Web Capture module in Legrand CRM solves this problem by automating the process, thereby ensuring that no web lead is ever lost or not responded to! The easy-to-use web capture functions mean you will never miss the opportunity to follow-up on a web lead and turn them into a loyal customer, while the Legrand Reporting module delivers graphs showing the number of web leads processed over any given period.

You can use the Web Capture module to capture information requests, generate new sales opportunities with targeted promotions, or let customers self-manage their newsletter Subscribe and Unsubscribe actions.
