Well, that fine and we will show you what kind of things you are able to not only manage but measure in an inbound marketing campaign or a web site/internet marketing campaign.

Once they fill out a form, you can collect data on all the pages these leads have gone to. This also includes: Forms Submitted, Lead Details, Opportunity Details and LEad Nurturing Details.

  • Lead Nurturing - when your site is producing leads, you want to be able to continue and build a relationship with your new leads even if your sales team does not have the time to follow up on the "B" or "C" leads right now. Lead Nurturing is and email campaign that works your cool leads automatically trying to warm them up for your sales team.

  • Blog Analytics - measure the success of your blog. This tool tracks: Blog Subscribers, Visitors to your Blog, How Many Comments your Blog has gotten.
