How to follow up after a discovery call to move the sale forward
❶ Great chatting with you! Here are a few talking points from our call so you can easily reference it.
❷ We automatically track all visitor and user actions (for example: clicked on a call to action, added product to basket, logged in). This means if you decide an action is important later on, you can access all of its historic data.
・ No dev work or coding required. You can define important actions by clicking on parts of your page in the visualizer. Or you can define them by clicking on auto-tracked events in a visitors or user's profile.
・Create funnels to see how visitors are moving through your website and where they are converting. Example funnel: referral source Google -> sales page -> [defined event] clicked on the testimonials section -> [defined event] watched video -> [defined event] clicked the buy button.
❸ Based on which conversions and actions you mentioned were most valuable for you, I can create a custom walkthrough for your team to show how you can use different reports to get actionable insights. This typically turns into a brainstorm session that sparks quite a few new ideas.

This lets you send highly targeted messages or promos to customers who show buying signals but haven’t purchased yet.
❸ Next steps
The next steps would be to start your marketing team on a trial so they can explore Swell.
Based the goals and workflows you already described, I can set up custom onboarding flows so everyone can discover features that would be useful for their work right away.
