How to Use the Campaign Results in Act! E-Marketing to Get New Leads

Swiftpage bought Act! in 2013 and integrated a new e-mail marketing tool called Act! E-Marketing (AEM).  Unlike other CRM systems, Act! offers a unique integration between campaigns and leads generated from it.

As shown in this video, I sent an offer to upgrade Act!.  The results are shown within Act!.  Just click a name, and it goes right to the lead with history ready to go for the rep.

Sage E-Marketing for ACT! - List Cleanup Tip

We have a few dozen users on Sage E-Marketing for Act! (aka Swiftpage), and we have changed our philosophy over the last couple years on dealing with bad addresses or opt-outs.

When I first started using e-mail as a marketing technique, I would just erase their address when it came back or unsubscribed from my list.

Now, I added two fields in the database, "Bounce" or "Opt-Out" as checkbox (yes/no) fields.

Then, I make my "E-Mail List" group in Act! exclude bounces or opt-outs.
