Company background
The company mission statement is to gain ‘More sight for your site’ through web marketing services. These services fall into four key areas - search engine optimization, national newspaper advertising (for, among others, Times, Observer and Guardian), online advertising (online media buying services across some the UK’s leading websites) and pay-per-click advertising.
The Issue/Challenge Faced
Web Windows has a 10-strong new business sales team which is focused on lead generation through outbound activity.
The team has used a number of different marketing automation software products in the past but they needed a solution which would provide an extra level of functionality beyond website visitor tracking.
Tom Anderson, Associate Director at Web Windows, explained: “We needed software which could support our outbound sales team by generating high quality leads. We also needed a solution which could integrate with our CRM platform effectively so that we have all the information about our prospects in one place. When we came across the CANDDi platform we immediately thought this was the software for us.”
Web Windows launched a new website in December 2015 and wanted to ensure that it was fully integrated with CANDDi. With the business growing in the UK, and also in the US with the opening of a New York office, the new website was an important platform for the agency, so the ability to generate insight from it for new business activity was a priority.
“We needed software which could support our outbound sales team by generating high quality leads.”
CANDDi for Web Windows
The sales team prioritize certain actions based on how the prospect has interacted with its outbound communications. The company’s emails contain a call to action in the form of a link to pre-designed landing pages. For example, if there is no interaction with the email content, the sales team then prioritize a call directly to the prospect.
Web Windows also uses CANDDi to track data on visitors to its website. The team run a filter on the length of time they remain on each page to understand their areas of interest. This gives the company complete visibility of qualified and genuinely interested leads.
CANDDi is fully integrated with Web Window’s existing CRM system, which is made possible due to its open API. CANDDi sits as a “marketing” (or analytics) filter on top of the CRM platform. When identified visitors perform predefined trigger actions on their website, CANDDi will capture this information and will real-time update the CRM platform with this information.
