Convertly's Lead Flow: Capture, Qualify, and Close

Your leads are coming from multiple places - ad platforms, your website, direct messages, phone calls. Convertly brings all of them into one system and moves them toward revenue.

How Lead Flow Works in Convertly

Stage 1: Capture

Leads enter Convertly through multiple channels:

From Ads:

When someone clicks your Google Ads or Meta ads and takes action (adds to cart, fills a form, etc.), they appear in Convertly automatically with full attribution data
You see which ad, campaign, audience, and creative led to each lead

From Your Website:

Embed a Convertly form on your website
When someone fills it out, they’re instantly logged as a lead
You can track which page they came from and what they were interested in

From Direct Messages:

Leads that reach you on LinkedIn, Facebook Messenger, or email
Add them manually to Convertly with their contact info
Tag them with source so you track all inbound channels

From Integrations:

Connect Zapier to log leads from 1000+ tools
Use webhooks to log leads from custom integrations
Connect CRM sources to sync existing leads

From Your Team:

Sales reps can manually add leads from calls or meetings
Every addition is tracked with source and date

Stage 2: Enrich

When a lead enters Convertly, the system automatically adds:

Attribution data - which campaign, audience, ad, and landing page led to this lead
Contact enrichment - company info, job title, LinkedIn profile (if connected)
UTM parameters - exactly what traffic source parameters brought them
Timeline - the date they entered and how long they’ve been in your system

This enrichment happens automatically, so your team always has context.

Stage 3: Qualify

Not every lead is sales-ready. In Convertly, you qualify leads by:

Pipeline Stage:

Move leads to “Qualified” when they’ve shown interest
Keep unqualified leads in “New” until they’re ready
Your pipeline is customizable to match your process

Lead Scoring:

Convertly’s AI scores leads on likelihood to close
High-score leads get immediate sales attention
Lower-score leads get more nurture

Custom Fields:

Mark leads by product interest, deal size, or any criteria
Filter to qualified leads in your specific category
Route leads based on qualification criteria

Stage 4: Move Through Sales Process

Your sales team moves leads through your pipeline:

In conversation - rep has contacted them and is building a relationship
Proposal sent - you’ve sent a proposal or quote
Negotiating - discussing terms and pricing
Won - deal closed, revenue is real
Lost - deal fell through, time to understand why

Each move is timestamped and noted, so you understand velocity and bottlenecks.

Stage 5: Convert to Customer

When you close a deal:

Move the lead to “Won”
Log the deal value
Note the close date

Convertly automatically sends the conversion back to your ad platforms (Google Ads, Meta) so they learn which clicks actually led to customers. This improves your ad targeting over time.

Managing Bottlenecks in Your Lead Flow

Common Bottlenecks

Qualification Bottleneck: Too many unqualified leads reaching sales? Your qualification process might need improvement. Convertly helps by:

Using AI lead scoring to pre-qualify before sales touches them
Creating automation that routes only high-score leads to sales
Showing you which sources produce qualified leads

Sales Engagement Bottleneck: Leads aren’t moving from “New” to “In conversation” fast enough? This usually means:

Not enough sales capacity
Leads aren’t being distributed fairly
Reps aren’t contacting leads promptly

Convertly helps by:

Creating automations that assign leads instantly to reps
Showing task reminders for un-contacted leads
Making it obvious which reps are engaging fastest

Deal Velocity Bottleneck: Deals are stalling in “Proposal sent”? Convertly helps by:

Showing you the average time in each stage
Flagging deals that are aging (older than average)
Creating reminders to follow up on old proposals
Identifying which stages are slowest

Close Rate Bottleneck: Deals are reaching “Negotiating” but not closing? This usually means:

Pricing issues
Objections not being addressed
Lost interest or priority change

Convertly helps by:

Showing lost deal patterns so you understand common objections
Tracking which deal sizes close vs. which stall
Creating alerts when deals go quiet

Automating Your Lead Flow

Once you understand your flow, automate it:

Auto-assign leads - new leads automatically go to the next available rep or by territory Create tasks - task is created when lead reaches a stage (follow up in 24 hours, send proposal, etc.) Send reminders - remind reps about leads that haven’t moved in X days Escalate hot leads - high-score leads go to senior reps immediately Update pipeline - move leads automatically based on time or criteria

Automations mean nothing falls through the cracks and your process runs consistently.
