If you're running a business, you probably already know that managing leads can be a real pain. Manual data entry and processing lead to errors. Inconsistent nurturing and follow-up coupled with delayed communication can lead to a poor customer experience and lost sales. None of these things are good for your bottom line.

The good news is automating lead management can be a game-changer for your conversion rates, customer satisfaction, and team collaboration.

By leveraging the power of automation with Basin’s Zapier integration, everything from capturing leads, transferring them to a CRM, routing them to the right team, and triggering the appropriate outreach can be done for you, automatically. And best of all, you'll free up time and resources to focus on what really matters — delivering value to your customers and growing your business.

Together, Basin and Zapier can help you save time and money on lead management and other marketing operations. Keep reading to learn how these tools can ensure your sales funnel is always working, even when you're not.

Automate your lead capture and follow-up

Effective lead management requires accurate data collection and timely follow-up. There's only a short window of time in which a prospect is interested and engaged, and automation can help you take advantage of this window of opportunity to convert leads into paying customers.

Using Basin’s Zapier integration, you can set your lead capture forms to immediately trigger follow-up actions after submissions based on specific criteria that you define. This means you can automatically add leads to your CRM and have Basin send a response email with additional resources that reinforce the value of your product or service.

Here are some examples of pre-made lead capture workflows that keep your sales team in the loop and start conversations with new leads.

Personalize your customer experiences

In a world where people are bombarded with advertisements and messages from various brands, personalized experiences allow individuals to cut through the noise and feel like they are being heard. When you take the time to understand your customer's needs, preferences and behaviours, and then tailor your messaging and offerings to meet those needs, it creates stronger connections and builds more loyalty over time.

Automation can be a huge asset here. Since Basin works with Zapier to automatically perform actions based on specific customer events, you can do things like send a personalized thank-you email to a customer who has just made a purchase, or trigger a reminder to follow-up with a customer a specified number of days after the original sale. These types of interactions will go a long way towards differentiating your brand and building lasting relationships with your customers.

Here are a few examples of pre-made workflows you can use to create a more seamless and personalized customer experience.

Streamline your internal workflows

Imagine freeing up your team's time and energy from repetitive, manual tasks so they can focus on more meaningful work that adds value to your business. Automation can help you do just that! Not only will you see a boost in your team's productivity, but it will also save you money by reducing labor costs and minimizing errors. Plus, automation can provide better data visibility, which helps inform better decisions and improve overall business performance.

Connecting your Basin forms to Zapier can help you streamline certain internal workflows, such as approvals, notifications, and data sharing. You can automatically alert the sales team in Slack whenever a new lead fills out your contact form, or create a new ticket in your help desk software when a customer submits a request for support. When your team works more efficiently, it means faster and more accurate service, happier customers, and more revenue for you.

Here are a few examples of pre-made workflows that can help your business improve collaboration and efficiency across teams.

Empower your non-technical team members

Another benefit of using Basin and Zapier together as the backbone for your lead automation strategy is that it allows people with less technical expertise to build and maintain critical lead-routing processes with confidence. Both tools offer easy-to-use interfaces that require little to no coding experience, making it easy for non-technical users to create custom forms, workflows, and automations. So even without a tech whiz on the team, you can still be efficient and effective at managing your leads.

With a clear automation process in place, your no code folks will be less reliant on IT or development teams and take more ownership of the lead management process. This ultimately leads to a more productive, efficient, and effective team, and a better overall experience for your leads!

Do more and do it better with automation

New opportunities are around every corner — its time you make sure your business makes the most of them. Automate your lead management process with Basin and Zapier and free your team up to focus on more strategic initiatives that drive growth and innovation for your business. Setup is quick and easy, and both products have generous free plans with timely (and friendly) customer support if you need it.

There is nothing to lose. You can only win.
