Capturing and organising a large volume of new contact details can be overwhelming. You may be wondering how to ensure that all these details are accurate and that you have complied with all the necessary data security regulations.
The good news is that by establishing standardised enquiry fields, optimising enquiry forms and implementing robust data capture and testing mechanisms, you can create a seamless prospect capture system. A systematic approach, using the 7 basic components below, enhances lead management efficiency and enables personalised engagement strategies that are tailored to each prospect’s needs.
1) Enquiry fields
Identify and create specific fields for the enquiry form that capture relevant information from prospects, allowing you to understand their needs and preferences.
2) Enquiry form
Develop a user-friendly and informative online form that prospects can fill out to express interest or seek more details about a product or service.
3) Enquiry journey
Map out the path that a prospect takes from initially encountering the brand to completing the enquiry form, while optimising the process for user engagement. Reassure prospects that their details have been securely captured.
4) Form submission testing
Methodically evaluate the functionality and effectiveness of the enquiry form to ensure seamless submission and accurate capture of prospect data.
5) Data capture testing
Verify the accuracy and completeness of the captured prospect data, implementing testing procedures to maintain the quality of information collected.
6) New enquiry list
Compile and organise a list of newly captured prospects, enabling targeted follow-up and nurturing efforts to convert leads into customers.
7) Measure performance
Record and report on the actual and targeted performance of each component. Monitor the reporting dashboard and check for warning signals that may indicate a drop-off in performance at a specific stage of the process.
