Your Name

Once you have created the email, save it as a template.

Setup the list inside Maxmail that will capture these leads coming from your website

Login

* Click on the Manage Lists tab across the top
* Click on the “New List” button on the right
* Call your list “Prospects List” and in the sender name and email address field put your name and email address respectively
* Click on the “Next” button
* Create a new Drop Down custom field and call it “Where did you hear about us” with the following options (feel free to adjust these as per your needs)
* Online Search
* Facebook
* Twitter
* Radio Advertising

* Click on the “Build my Form” button
* Cut and paste the HTML code provided on the right hand side onto an instance of Notepad

Placing the form on the website

If you manage the content of your website

* Login to your content management system
* Navigate to the page where you wish for this lead capture form to show up (E.g. the contact us page)
* Save your changes and make them live (this process may be different for your content management system)
* If you pass these things on (usually) to your web designer then simply give them the piece of code you saved in the notepad file and tell them where on your website they need to place this form.

Setup the Auto Responder

* Click on the Automation Tab
* Click on the New Autoresponder Button

Why bother?

Most prospects dont convert into a sale because of the lack of communication from the company. When someone goes as far as filling out a “lousy” contact us form on your website the least she deserves is an email acknowledging the effort. by automating a response (even though most people know it’s a machine) you are at least breaking the ice. Now, by signing this email off under your name with your contact information makes the automation a bit more personal. This way the client has a person to relate with instead of just an auto-reply email address.
