User Tagging, Triggers, and Automated Lead Scoring

From interest to advocate, understanding your customers and building systems to automatically move them through your funnel is a method that can greatly increase sales. In one of our favorite guides, the Marketing Playbook by Myk Pono, you can see a full explanation of how to use these tools.

User tagging, triggers, and automated lead scoring constitute a framework for SaaS businesses aiming to optimize their customer journey from interest to conversion. A study by MarketingSherpa shows that companies that utilize lead scoring see a 77% increase in lead generation ROI compared to those that do not, highlighting the tangible impact of a well-executed lead scoring strategy.

At their core, user tagging, triggers, and automated lead scoring classify website or application visitors according to their interests and actions, determining whether they are marketing— or sales-qualified leads.

Additionally, automated emails can significantly impact user behavior and result in a 152% higher click-through rate than traditional email campaigns, indicating the growing importance of automation.

Furthermore, automated communications can also nudge potential customers down the sales funnel, which is particularly important for companies focused on product-led growth and understanding user behavior for scaling. Therefore, seeking help from specialized private equity consulting services like JHMG is helpful.

This involves setting up a system within a client’s website or application that categorizes users based on their actions. It’s a way to understand user behavior more intricately.
