In the dynamic world of marketing automation, understanding how to effectively leverage custom values and sequences in LeadDec can significantly enhance your operational efficiency and client engagement. This guide is designed to walk you through the essentials of optimizing your automations, focusing on the critical aspects of custom settings and strategic communication flow.
Setting Up Custom Values
Why Custom Values Matter: Custom values in LeadDec play a pivotal role in personalizing and streamlining your marketing automations. From appointment types to Twilio numbers, these fields enable you to tailor communications that resonate with your audience.
Accessing Custom Values: Start by navigating to the 'Settings' on your LeadDec dashboard. Here, you'll find the 'Custom Values' section, which is instrumental for the customization and effectiveness of your automations.
Key Custom Values to Consider:
Appointment Types: Specific to the nature of your business, whether it's a consultation, training session, or an introductory call.
Twilio Number: Essential for sending SMS messages, ensure you have a Twilio number inputted if your automation includes text messaging.
Calendar Link: If your automation directs clients to schedule appointments, having a calendar link is crucial.
Understanding and filling in these custom values is the first step towards creating a seamless automation experience for both you and your clients.
Crafting Your Automation Sequence
Leveraging Landing Pages and Facebook Lead Ads: For capturing leads, you might opt for either a landing page or Facebook lead ads. Whichever method you prefer, LeadDec’s automation workflows can be tailored to integrate seamlessly with these lead capture tools.
Initiating the Workflow: Upon a lead's interaction, such as form submission through Facebook lead ads, LeadDec triggers the specified automation. This process involves tagging the contact, creating an opportunity, and categorizing them within the ‘Opportunity’ section. If you're new to this, further training materials on LeadDec's ‘Opportunity’ management are available.
Communication Flow: Following the initial trigger, the automation proceeds to send you notifications, followed by a series of texts and emails to the prospective client. The sequence is designed to engage over a period, typically spanning a few days, ensuring repeated touchpoints.
Moving Leads Through the Funnel: It's crucial to manually update the lead's status (e.g., Contact 1, Contact 2, etc.) based on interaction. Failure to do so might result in the automation advancing the lead to a long-term follow-up stage prematurely. Each status update triggers a new set of communications, ensuring no lead is left unengaged.
Customizing Communication Content
Personalization is Key: Click on any step within your automation sequence to customize messages. Pay special attention to custom values within the content - these placeholders pull information directly related to the specific lead or your business, such as the client's name or your business name.
Accuracy Ensures Engagement: Incorrect or missing custom values can lead to generic, unengaging communication that fails to convert. Carefully verify each message within your automation for correct custom values and contextually relevant content.
In Summary
Mastering the nuances of custom values and carefully structuring your automation sequences in LeadDec not only enhances the efficiency of your marketing efforts but also significantly boosts engagement and conversion rates. By personalizing your approach and ensuring timely, relevant communication, you position your business for better connections and growth.
