CRM Best Practices

Best practices for getting the most out of your CRM system and embed forms.

Form Design Best Practices

Keep It Simple

• Only include fields you actually need
• Remove optional fields that might reduce completion rates
• Make required fields clear

Match Your Brand

• Use colors that match your website
• Choose fonts that align with your brand identity
• Ensure consistent styling across all forms

Clear Call-to-Action

• Use descriptive button text like “Get My Chart” or “Discover My Design”
• Avoid generic text like “Submit”
• Make the button stand out with your primary color

Mobile-Friendly Design

• Forms are responsive by default, but test on mobile devices
• Ensure touch targets are large enough
• Test the location search on mobile

Lead Management Best Practices

Regular Follow-Up

• Check your CRM regularly (daily or weekly)
• Follow up with new leads promptly (within 24-48 hours)
• Set reminders for follow-up tasks

Update Statuses

• Keep lead statuses up to date to track your sales pipeline
• Move leads through the pipeline: New → Contacted → Qualified → Converted
• Archive leads that are no longer active

Use Search Effectively

Review Charts Before Contacting

Context Matters
