In this article, we'll explore each segment, their meaning, and their significance in helping real estate teams optimize their outreach strategy.
In Fello, the standard segments automatically categorize contacts into specific buckets or categories. These segments are predefined based on common types of leads or actions in the real estate industry. By sorting your leads into these categories, Fello helps you to prioritize outreach, tailor your messaging, and have a better understanding of your sales funnel.
Breakdown of Standard Segments:
-
Drop-offs:
- Description: The Default Drop-Off Segment offers a spotlight on contacts who initiated a form journey but didn't see it through to completion. These individuals began their interaction by entering essential details, such as their address, and possibly more. However, for one reason or another, they didn't submit the form, and as a result, a lead was not generated for them. This segment isolates these specific contacts to enable teams to address them effectively.
- Significance: Every drop-off represents a missed opportunity. Equipped with this insight, teams can devise tailored re-engagement strategies using marketing collaterals. By sending personalized emails or postcards, we aim to nudge these contacts back into the form journey, guiding them toward submission. By reaching out to them proactively, there's a chance to convert a substantial percentage of these drop-offs into genuine leads.
