Deeper dive
1. For sales campaigns, there are quite a few ways a campaign could trigger an action. This could include prospect behavior, status change or mixture of multiple conditions. Here are some examples:
- Sales lead hasn’t been contacted for 3 months
- Prospect has visited key services pages
- They were added to a list in Bullhorn Automation
2. These triggers can then kick off a set of actions. For sales prospects, actions are typically around scheduling meetings and providing value. These actions could include:
- Send value-add email every 2 weeks
- Schedule call task every 4 weeks
- Send notification to account manager if key page is visited
3. Below is a sample new client lead workflow built in Bullhorn Automation. Like any sales role, consistent follow-up improves chances of a prospect becoming a customer.
Final Thoughts
Sales, like recruiting is all about follow-up and activity. So automate the mundane sales tasks and work on building better relationships and more revenue potential.
