- Lead scoring: score assigned to a lead. The score allows to prioritize a lead based on its probability of conversion. Assigning a score to your leads according to their digital interactions (forms completed, link clicked on email or landing page, visit to a section of the web site) or according to their attributes (demographic profile) will help to pre-qualify them in order to establish a chain of communication. Depending on the score of your lead, you could automate a mailing to follow-up with him or assign this lead to a sales representative who will contact him. For more details on our scorecard tool, consult Analysis / Scores Leads from the main menu.
- Assigned sales representative: the sales representative who the lead is assigned to. You can set up your sales team from the main menu, under Settings / Configuration / Sales Team.
- Lead status: the two lead default statuses (native) displayed in the relationship marketing platform are Active (a lead with which you have a relationship) and Inactive (a lead with which you no longer have a relationship). You can add and / or delete as many Lead Statuses as you wish (for example, Pending status). The addition of statuses are often required when synchronizing with CRM’s. To add / delete statuses, see Settings / Configuration / Configuration of types, under Lead Status section.
- Lead Source : this field refers to the source of the lead. The default Lead Sources that appear in a drop-down menu in the relationship marketing platform are: Bing, Google, New prospect, and Yahoo. The lists that you import into the relationship marketing platform will automatically display in the Lead Source drop-down menu. You can add / delete as many Lead Sources that you want; your choice will automatically be added to the drop-down menu. To remove a Lead Source, see Settings / Configuration / Configuration of types, under the Lead Source section.
- Method of contact: the three methods of contact displayed by default in PUBLITRAC are Chat, Form, Telephone. You can add as many Methods of contact as you want (for example, reference from store xx; reference from an existing customer; ...). The addition of methods of contact is often required when synchronizing with CRM’s. To add / remove methods of contact, see Parameters/ Configuration/ Configuration of Types under the Method of contact section.

- Original Source Category : source that led to the acquisition of your lead. For example: an organic search, paid, direct search, an import of your lead, a manual addition of your lead, etc. There is no default Original Source Category in in the relationship marketing platform. This criteria is updated according to the source of your lead. Your sources can be grouped under different categories to facilitate the classification and to give a better overview. This field is completed only once and is not editable.
- Keyword: during a search on Google (organic or paid), the relationship marketing platform will display the (keyword) search term used by your lead when he became a member of your database. For example, the lead does a search for "marketing agency", finds the Publitech site and completes the online form to receive the newsletter. With this form, he is now part of our database. The original source will therefore be an organic Google search and the keyword will be "marketing agency". Just like the original source, this field is not editable.

- Last updated: last time the lead’s information was updated. This field is updated each time your lead performs an action (profile update, sync, etc.). This update is applied on every lead action, whether it is a website visit, a form completion, an update, a synchronization, etc...
