Microsoft Outlook – The CRM Tool You Already Have
1. Website Leads – When someone fills out the “Contact Us” form on your website, where does the lead information go? If you leverage Microsoft Outlook, you can have:
• Outlook contact AUTOMATICALLY created
• Email sent to your sales team so they are notified of the new lead
• A “Follow Up” task AUTOMATICALLY created so you can track the follow up
• An item in your Outlook Calendar is AUTOMATICALLY created as another reminder to follow up.
2. Tracking Leads – By using Microsoft Outlook categories, you can tag and track your leads. The categories can tell you the source of the lead, the status of the lead, etc. There is no limit to how many different categories assigned to a lead or customer record.
3. Sales Pipeline – Microsoft Outlook has several Views that allow you to see and organize your leads. You can not only group the leads by category, but you can sort the leads showing which leads have not been contacted.
4. Converting Leads to Accounts – When used correctly, Microsoft Outlook allows you to simply drag and drop a Lead so it is AUTOMATICALLY converted to an Account.
5. Reporting – Since you are using Microsoft Outlook to manage your leads and accounts, you can leverage Microsoft Excel, Access and Word to create any report you may need.
