Unleash the Full Potential of Your CRM
EMAIL LIST SCRUBBING, SEGMENTATION & STANDARDIZATION
Clean Your Database, Increase Sales
Your email list is only valuable if the data is clean, and every contact is treated the same. To have a clear picture of who is actively engaging with your email content throughout the marketing and sales process, you need to make sure the email addresses are valid, your database is standardized, and you are sending people the content they want to see.
ProperExpression’s team of CRM pros will scrub your email list, removing any contacts that are no longer valid and potentially harming your email reputation score. With a purified database, we can then segment your contacts with confidence, creating lists based on key properties or identifiers that are relevant to your marketing and sales efforts. Segmentation opens the doors for more personalized content, improving the sales process and driving increased conversions.
Our Proven Method:
- Ongoing removal of contacts who have hard bounced to protect email reputation score
- Efficient marketing automation rules to segment your database around properties such as job title, industry, recent engagement and more
- Implement standardization best practices to ensure every contact has the same properties and follows the same processes to progress through the marketing and sales funnels
LEAD SCORING
Work the Leads that Matter
Lead scoring is the crystal ball of your CRM and a foundational part of marketing automation strategy. It allows marketing and sales to get a glimpse into who is where in the sales funnel. With an effective lead scoring model in place, you can automatically progress prospects through the funnel based on criteria like recent actions a prospect has taken, the content they’ve interacted with, or simply contact properties like their job title or company size.
Our team will assess your existing marketing and sales funnel and devise a lead scoring model that will allow both teams to know how and when to communicate with each lead.
Our Proven Method:
- Analysis of the existing marketing and sales funnels
- Identification of actions and demographics most valuable to the sales process
- Matrix for lead scoring criteria for a visual of the process
- Ongoing testing and optimization of the model

CONVERSION FUNNEL ANALYSIS & REPORTING
Use Data Visibility to Increase Opportunities
Cleaning up bad data and organizing your CRM is not where the optimization process stops.

We analyze your conversion funnel on a consistent basis, determining where leads may be dropping out of the buying process and most importantly, why they’re not buying. With your sales team, we team up to alter the sales process to account for the trends we’re seeing in the conversion funnel. When you put yourself in the shoes of the consumer, you can learn just how you need to communicate with them to close more deals.
