The INFOtrac WebLink
The INFOtrac WebLink enables a form on a web site
to accept lead information from prospective customers, and
then compares this data to existing information found within
INFOtrac, so as to eliminate duplicates and unclean
entries. After this process, the information is automatically
added to INFOtrac, where specific business processes
can be automatically invoked. A simple example of this follows:
Step
1: Upon acceptance of a lead into INFOtrac, the
system will automatically assign the prospect to an appropriate
sales rep. This can be determined by any criteria that is
required: product group, territory, postal / zip code, as
examples.
Step 2: The prospect can then be automatically sent
an email message to inform them that their information has
been received, who their sales rep. is, and when he/she will
contact them. In addition, company and product information
can be attached to this email, so as to start the information
transfer required to complete the sale.
Step 3: INFOtrac can put a ‘pop up’
message on the screen of the sales person to alert them of
the new sales lead that they have been assigned.
Step 4: Action items will be added to the sales person’s
schedule to ensure that they follow up with the prospective
customer. The system can also be setup so as to prompt a sales
person to maintain contact with the prospect over time and
move through the sales cycle.
Using such a system, sales leads can be collected from an
active web site and automatically distributed to a sales team,
with all the required follow up activity automatically scheduled
and managed through INFOtrac. In addition, complete
reporting can be instantly provided (real time) to determine
the level of business that is being generated from web-based
or other marketing efforts.
When INFOtrac is linked to a company’s accounting
system, the ability to tie revenue and purchase history with
sales cycle activity, permits powerful reporting that can
help drive marketing directions to higher dimensions.
