CLEARVIEW EXCLUSIVE installersupport MARKETING ON STEROIDS Salestracker is transforming sales and marketing As Insight Data launches its 3rd generation Salestracker, Clearview magazine takes a closer look at the system in an exclusive series of articles… Salestracker combines a prospect database of potential new customers in the trade and commercial sectors with a state-of-the-art sales and marketing software platform. It is now used by over 600 organisations and professionals across the window industry, from international systems companies to small, local suppliers. Salestracker is a web-based sales and marketing software, which means users can access the system from any Internet enabled computer, laptop or tablet computer; at the office, working from home or on the move. The system is pre-loaded with highly detailed information on up to 64,000 potential new customers (depending on your subscription). Users simply log on, and instantly access their prospects, fabricators, installers, local builders, house-builders, main contractors and architects, all of which are continuously updated live in real-time. Last month we looked at how Salestracker helps sales people get sales-organised, prioritise their time and smash sales targets.

These lists can then be used for personalised direct mail, email marketing and telesales, and can be ‘pushed’ to other members of the team, such as a sales rep. Any number of lists can be created and saved, and they can then be linked to a ‘campaign’. “What is really clever about the lists is that they are ‘dynamic’. Once I’ve created a list, Salestracker automatically updates and manages it, adding in or removing records depending on whether they meet the lists’ criteria.” “When our marketing activities generate sales leads these are added to Salestracker simply by clicking a button and assigning a lead source and a sales person.
