My Open Leads Duplicate Lead? Working Leads Establish Contact? Qualied?
Set up different views to
manage your leads. For
example, “Today’s Leads” or
leads sorted by lead type.
The “nd duplicate” button
searches for similar leads or
contacts in Salesforce.
If a lead turns out to be a
duplicate, easily merge the two
records.
Salesforce has a number of
AppExchange partners that
provide high volume
de-duplication and data
cleansing tools.
When you’re working a lead,
you’ll set up a series of tasks,
which might vary based on the
type of lead. For example:
Day 1: Personalize mass email
Day 2: Call/voicemail
Day 4: Call/voicemail
Day 7: Personalize mass email
It is becoming more difcult
than ever to contact a lead. It
may take several attempts
and various tactics to
establish a relationship.
Keep an archive of dead
leads. Use lead nurturing
and call downs to re-market.
Create a set of qualication
questions, such as current
situation, product of interest,
timeframe, key decision makers.
If the lead is qualied, convert it
into a contact, with an
associated opportunity and
account.
