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.

How to follow up after a product demo to move the sale forward
Great going over Connect with you!
❶ Here's a summary of the key points we covered about growing your GMV.
❷ Deliver highly relevant promos to boost sales
Customer viewed pages related to these product categories X times?
Customer purchased these products in the past?
These interests are auto-tagged in their profiles.
When sending email campaigns, dynamically feature different products to customers based on their interests or send different versions of these campaigns based on their interests = much more likely to buy.
Motivate customers who show buying signals to purchase
Based on what actions (page views, campaign interactions, etc.) your customers took before purchasing, Connect automatically defines these patterns as buying signals.
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 starting your marketing team on a trial so they can explore Connect.
Based the goals and workflows you already described, I can set up custom onboarding tooltips so everyone can discover features that would be useful for their work right away.
Can you provide me their email addresses so I can send them the invite links to your trial account?

❶ When you meet with a potential customer at a trade show, let them do most of the talking. Ask them questions to learn about their interests and goals. When they mention a problem you can easily help with, say you will share with them something cool about it later. This creates an expectation so they're more likely to remember you and engage with your later email. Then follow up the day after and share what you mentioned in it.
❷ Review the propsect's website, social media and online presences to see what upcoming changes their company may be making or what needs they may have related to your product or service. Based on this, offer a valuable resource and show you're open to answering any of their questions to keep the conversation going.
