What is lead generation?
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Lead generation is the process by which a company acquires leads and
|
|
collects relevant datas about potential customers in order to enable a
|
|
relationship and to turn them into customers.
|
|
|
|
For example, a website visitor who fills in your contact form to know
|
|
more about your products and services becomes a lead for your company.
|
|
Typically, a Customer Relationship Management tool such as Odoo CRM is
|
|
used to centralize, track and manage leads.

|
Why is lead generation important for my business?
|
|
=================================================
|
|
|
|
Generating a constant flow of high-quality leads is one of the most
|
|
important responsibility of a marketing team. Actually, a well-managed
|
|
lead generation process is like the fuel that will allow your company to
|
|
deliver great performances - leads bring meetings, meetings bring sales,
|
|
sales bring revenue and more work.

How to generate leads with Odoo CRM?
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
Leads can be captured through many sources - marketing campaigns,
|
|
exhibitions and trade shows, external databases, etc. The most common
|
|
challenge is to successfully gather all the data and to track any lead
|
|
activity. Storing leads information in a central place such as Odoo CRM
|
|
will release you of these worries and will help you to better automate
|
|
your lead generation process, share information with your teams and
|
|
analyze your sales processes easily.
|
|
|
|
Odoo CRM provides you with several methods to generate leads:
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`../../leads/generate/emails`
|
|
|
|
An inquiry email sent to one of your company's generic email addresses
|
|
can automatically generate a lead or an opportunity.
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`../../leads/generate/manual`
|
|
|
|
You may want to follow up with a prospective customer met briefly at an
|
|
exhibition who gave you his business card. You can manually create a new
|
|
lead and enter all the needed information.
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`../../leads/generate/website`
|
|
|
|
A website visitor who fills in a form automatically generates a lead or
|
|
an opportunity in Odoo CRM.
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`../../leads/generate/import`
|
|
|
|
You can provide your salespeople lists of prospects - for example for a
|
|
cold emailing or a cold calling campaign - by importing them from any
|
|
CSV file.
