Here’s why you should use LeadSquared marketing automation platform:

LeadSquared helps you create beautiful, conversion optimized landing pages, capture, track, score and segment your leads, send email campaigns and autoresponders, improve your marketing through analytics, and integrate with your other business software ecosystem using API and connectors.

What are these connectors?

  • Drive actions in third party applications on events like lead capture, lead update and landing page submissions with Webhooks
  • Automatically capture phone leads with Super Receptionist integration
  • Capture all the new leads attending your webinars and track the attendance of your leads in different webinars with GoToWebinar integration.
  • Capture leads from website and blog comments using WordPress Plugins.
  • Capture leads and conversations with your prospects through Olark chat.
  • Capture leads sent from Mandrill or SendGrid accounts in LeadSquared
  • Track ‘opens’ and ‘clicks’ of emails thorough Outlook integration


Will these integrations affect the marketing and lead management process?

Not at all. The integrations won’t affect lead scoring, link tracking, etc., as they are all captured and reported in LeadSquared. In other words, no matter where the leads come from, they are all reported in LeadSquared, making marketing seamlessly systematic.

How is it different from a regular marketing automation platform?

Lead score may sound very interesting to lot of businesses at first but very soon they figure out it is not a true indication of lead engagement. To address this, LeadSquared has come up with a concept of engagement score. There will be an “engagement index” for the marketers to identify the percentage of engaged leads at any point, and for sales people to focus on engaged leads rather than leads with just a higher lead score.
