Idea #1:

Set your Lead Status from “unknown” to open (or new).

Enrollment Criteria: Contact property Lead Status is unknown

Benefit: Provides the foundation for creating separate queues - one for brand new leads and one for neglected leads.

Idea #2:

Lead Status changed to “In Progress” when a lead is contacted

Enrollment Criteria: Contact property Lead Status is equal to Open and the contact property Last Contacted is known.

Benefit: When activity is logged on the contact record, will automatically change the Lead Status to “In Progress”

Idea #3 - Automatically Assign Leads for Timely Follow-Ups

Enrollment Criteria: Contact property HubSpot Owner is unknown

Benefit: Although mapping out how leads will be assigned, this step will boost not only your revenue by connecting with a lead when they’re “hot” but also increase your customer experience when they realize you’re ready to help in a timely manner.

Idea #4- Use HubSpot’s Data Clean Up Recipe

Enrollment Criteria: Navigate to “Workflows” and select “Workflow Recipes.” Choose the “Data Cleanup recipe, then add and customize for your business.

Benefit: A pre-designed workflow to help “clean up” the fake data submitted

Idea #5 - Ensure Your Team Keeps in Touch WIth Potential Leads

Enrollment Criteria: Contact property Last Contacted is more than “##” weeks ago. Create the task Check-in with lead and assign to HubSpot Owner

Benefit: You never want to leave money on the table. A lead may not have been ready to convert at first contact, but until you get that “final no,” keep your team on task for getting to that “Yes.”

Idea #6 - Get Notified When A Potential Lead Visits a Key Page

Enrollment Criteria: Contact has visited a key page - set up lead revisit notifications in HubSpot. Add action to send internal email to HubSpot Owner

Benefit: Knowing when a potential lead is moving from the “awareness” stage to the decision stage is valuable. When they visit a page that is an indicator of “consideration” or “decision,” receiving notification of this action allows you to quickly follow up and boost up your nurturing sequence.
