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.

Great going over Swell with you!
❶ Here's an overview of a few key points we covered about growing your GMW
❷ Deliver relevant and targeted promos to boost sales
Customer viewed pages related to these product categories X times?
Customer purchased these products in the past?
Swell records these actions in each customer's profile.
When sending email campaigns, you can use liquid formatting to share different products with customers based on their interests and purchases = much higher conversions.
Motivate customers who show buying signals to purchase
Based on what actions (page views, campaign interactions, etc.) your customers took before purchasing, Swell identifies 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 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.
Can you provide me their email addresses so I can send them the invite links to your trial account?

❶ When you meet 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 topic you can provide helpful advice about, say you will share with them something about it later. This sets up an expectation you'll contact them so they're more likely to open your email. Follow up the next day and share your insight with them.
❷ Review your prospect's website, social media and online presences to see what changes their company may be making or what needs they may have related to your product or service. Based on this, offer a relevant valuable resource and show you're open to helping them to keep the conversation going.
