Create a Tag
Tags are used to Organize and group your contact records inside Infusionsoft. By using Tags, you can filter your contacts, create customized segmentations and lists, and track the metrics of your custom segments over time. From the “quick view” of a contact record, click the “Tags” tab to view the tags applied to this contact. To apply a tag to this contact record click the green “Apply Tags” button, and in the “please select” box, start typing the name of the desired tag. If that tag has already been created, it will populate in the dropdown as you type. Select the desired tag from the dropdown list, and click the green “Apply” button. If the tag has not been created yet, type the full name of the tag in the “please select” field and click the green “create” button. The newly added tag will populate at the top of the “Tags” list. You can also create Tag Categories to better organize your Tags in the system. For example, when I get a new lead, I tag them based on the product or service they are interested in. I would have a “Category” for these tags called “Product Tags”. To create Tags and Tag categories inside your Infusionsoft application, hover over the navigation icon, and under the “CRM” section, click “Settings”. From the left hand menu under “Contact and Company settings”, click “Tag Categories”. For an example, I am a Fitness Trainer and when I collect leads I like to categorize them based on their primary fitness interest. This will help me send them marketing materials that are targeted to their individual interests. The category I'm going to create to organize these tags will be called “Primary Fitness Interest”. With the tag categories screen open, on the right hand side click the button “Add Tag Categories”. Type in the category name, and also a description of this category in the fields provided. When complete, click the green “Save” button. The new category will display at the bottom of your category list. To add tags to this category, click “Settings” on the upper right hand corner of the sub navigation quick links bar. On the left hand menu, under contact and Company settings, click tags. Click the green “Add Tag” button on the right-hand side. Type the name of the tag you are adding in the “tag name” box. If you are adding multiple tags, separate each tag name with a comma. Select the tag category from the “Category” drop down and add a description of the tag in the description box. Click the green “Add a Tag” button in the lower left hand corner. The new Tags are now accessible on your tag list, and from the drop down in the tag section of the contact record.
Lead Score
Automatic lead scoring is an objective way of assessing a prospect's level of Interest, based on their engagement with your outreach. The contact’s lead score is visible on the Quick view of a contact record, immediately to the right of the contact’s name. Lead score is displayed in the form of little orange flames. Click the “Scored and Recent Activity” tab on the contact record to view the most recent activity that has contributed to this contact’s lead score. To Set lead score criteria, hover over the Navigation icon on the upper left hand corner of the navigation bar. Click “Settings” under CRM. Click “Scores” under the “Contact and Company Settings” header on the left hand side of the page. The “Edit Scores” page will open. Under “Name and Status”, name your lead scoring system, and toggle the lead scoring function on. Next, set the point value for your flames. For this example I want my contacts to receive an additional flame on their contact record whenever they achieve two additional lead score points. To accomplish this, my settings reflect that 10 points will equal five flames. Create the lead score criteria under the “rules” section below. A contact’s lead score will automatically increase by the point value established, when any of these criteria are achieved. Lead score can be applied or subtracted when specific tags are applied to a contact record. For example, when the Tag “Newsletter Subscriber” is added to a contact record, the contact’s lead score will increase by two points. Lead score can also be applied when an activity is achieved like an email unsubscribe, Opening an email, filling out a web form, or landing page, Or clicking a link in one of the emails sent using the Infusionsoft application. Adjust the point total for each rule and set an expiration limit for the points added by these rules to the contact record. Using the “points expiration” feature ensures that a contact’s lead score is a current and accurate representation of their interest and engagement. Click the green “Save” button in the lower left hand corner to save your changes.
