Prospect Insight provides for several different ways for prospects
to be converted from anonymous visitors into known people. Here are the
different ways prospects can be converted in order of ease of
implementation:
- Using a form as an iframe on your page to capture the prospect's information and show a custom thank you message.
- Using a form handler
to receive the input of an existing form on your site and then redirect
the form submission contents to another page on your site (or another
URL like the Salesforce.com web to lead form receiver).
- Using a landing page with a form to capture the prospect's information and show a custom thank you page.
- Sending tracked links in email via email blasts or by using the Outlook, Thunderbird, and Apple Mail plug-ins.
- Producing a redirect URL that has their email address as a special parameter in it e.g. http://www.site.com/success.html?pi_email=johnsmith@site.com.
This could be done using an existing system like a web forms processor,
CMS, or email marketing tool. This assumes the success location URL has
the standard Javascript tracking code in place.
- Using an existing form processing system and generating a dynamic
iframe, one pixel by one pixel in size, that requests a form handler
URL with the form fields passed as parameters. Learn more.
Another, non-automated, option is to assign a visitor session to a prospect manually.
The CRM, if present, is always the master in terms of prospect
information. For example, if you use number two above, Prospect Insight
would then look for that prospect in the CRM and pull down the other
fields for scoring and automation rule purposes.
