The why and how: Categorizing website leads in your CRM

This is a guest post by Gravity Forms.

It’s always a good idea to capture as many leads as possible, but how do we manage those leads and determine their quality? Not all leads are created equal; only a small percentage might be relevant or worth taking action on.

Why categorize website leads?

Collecting data on leads without context will leave your team searching for relevant information they can take action on. A website might generate leads through a variety of forms: newsletter sign-ups, user account registrations, blog comments, online sales, and contact forms. 

All of these website leads may be worth adding to your newsletter mailing list—with their permission of course—but in the right hands, the best leads could have far more value.

The context of where and how those client leads were captured can help inform how they should be routed in your CRM.

How do you categorize website leads?

#1 Based on the language your leads speak  

If you offer content on your website in multiple languages, this is a great opportunity to segment those customers based on those languages, passing them on to agents or departments fluent in them. Different regions may also have different needs that can best be met by different teams in your organization.

#2 Based on your leads' needs

Forms with a variety of options, like a quiz or a multi-page form, can help you gather more information about the contacts you're gathering. Someone that answers these questions one way might be a great sales lead and another might be more appropriate for your newsletter.
