Why lead-ad leads go cold
Someone who fills in a lead form is interested right now. A few hours later they have forgotten the ad, or filled in a competitor's form too. Most leads are not lost because they were bad - they are lost because nobody called in time.
The usual culprits are simple: leads sit in Facebook until someone downloads them, nobody is clearly responsible for a new lead, and follow-up dates live in people's heads.
Step 1: get leads out of Facebook automatically
Downloading leads by hand means they arrive in batches, hours late. Connect your lead forms to a CRM so each lead arrives on its own the moment it is submitted, with the form's answers in the right fields.
Step 2: give every lead an owner at once
A lead that belongs to everyone belongs to no one. Decide who handles which leads - by city, course, project or team - and let the CRM assign them by rule, or in turn (round-robin) so the load stays even.
- Assign by territory or team when people specialise.
- Use round-robin when everyone handles the same kind of lead.
- Pause assignment for someone on leave so their leads go to others.
Step 3: put every follow-up on a schedule
Every contact should end with the next follow-up date. A reminder before it is due, and a list of today's and overdue follow-ups, turns good intentions into calls actually made.
Step 4: watch which ads bring customers
Keep the campaign, ad and form with each lead. Then you can see which ads bring leads that convert - not just the cheapest leads - and move budget there.
How Anviom CRM does this
Anviom CRM receives Facebook and Instagram lead-ad leads automatically, assigns them by rules or round-robin, reminds your team about follow-ups and reports results by source and campaign. If Facebook stops accepting the login, leads are kept and processed again after reconnecting. Plans start at Rs 399 per user per month.
