Make the most out of the marketing data that Outfunnel syncs to your CRM

Updated over a month ago

πŸ’‘ We recommend sending this article to your sales team to help them better understand what data they can expect to see and how they can use it.

Available data

Outfunnel provides sales teams marketing context by syncing email, form, web visit, lead score and lead source data to CRMs. This data can contain a treasure trove of information for the sales team to have targeted conversations with hot leads and close more revenue.

The data is synced on a person/contact level and is also automatically connected with any linked organizations and open deals. Here's a list of data points that Outfunnel syncs:

  • Newsletter Sent

  • Newsletter Opened

  • Newsletter Clicked

  • Newsletter Bounce

How sales can use the data in the CRM

Here's a shortlist of ways that sales can use the data in the CRM.

  • View data on the contact/organization/deal profiles

  • Create call lists

  • Build reports

  • Build automations

View data on the contact/organization/deal profiles

Before reaching out or hopping on a call sales reps can review the profiles for contextual data to use in their communication.

Create call lists

As Outfunnel syncs data to CRMs as an activity you can easily create a filter/segment/list based on the specific activity types. This list would then serve as a call or check list for hot leads that the sales rep can check periodically.

For example, you could create a list of all the contacts that visited your website in the last week or who clicked on a specific campaign. Based on your sales processes you could then follow-up with them or add them to an automation campaign.

This approach is also a great way to find leads who have been dormant for a long time but have now shown engagement.

How to setup an activity based call list

Below instructions are specific to Pipedrive but can be reproduced in any CRM.

  1. Create a new filter under the Activities menu

  2. Choose the Activity Type you want to filter by, for example: Newsletter clicked

  3. Specify the time frame on the right hand side

  4. Save it as a filter

How to setup a lead score based call list

Below instructions are specific to Pipedrive but can be reproduced in any CRM.

  1. Create a new filter under the Contacts menu

  2. Specify condition: Person > lead score > is not empty

  3. Save it as a filter

  4. Add the lead score column to your view so you can sort based on the highest lead scores

Filter for lead scores

πŸ’‘ Repeat the process for any other information you'd like to filter by. For example, if their lead source contains CPC or if they've visited a specific URL on your website.

Build reports

If your CRM supports reports you can create custom reports based on the information that Outfunnel creates in the CRM. For example, you could see how many users have done certain activities over the last quarter.

Build automations

If your CRM plan supports building automations you could create a Slack notification for when a lead visits a certain website, create deals when lead score reaches X and many other automations that speed up your work.
