Cha-Ching... I won another Customer using our Alerts feature!

The business intelligence I receive using VisiStat in my daily practice amazes me. An example is how I won a recent customer using our newly released "Alerts" feature.

Anyone who doesn't like making cold calls will love this...

Found on your launch pad, you can set up an Alert to e-mail you when any of the following instances happen on your Website:
  • A page view or unique visitor threshold is exceeded
  • A search engine keyword results in a visit
  • A visitor comes from a specified geographic region
  • A visitor comes from a specified ISP
  • A visitor comes from a specified IP address
  • A specified page name is visited
  • A specified referring address has brought a site visitor
Setting up an alert is easy -- they're just like the rules you can set up in Outlook. In my situation, I market heavily to real estate companies. Naturally, I set up an Alert to send me an e-mail when a visitor's ISP includes "Realty." By setting this up, Alerts sends me an e-mail notice when this occurs on my Website. Alerts hand delivers warm leads directly to my inbox. Wow...



They've taken the bait, now let's reel them in...

I log into my Website and check the Alerts History, find my Alert and click to get details on what the interested party did on my site. I'm shown a complete click path so I can identify their areas of interest and all the pages they viewed. It will also tell me if that visitor has been there within the past 90 days.

After receiving my Alert and gauging the customer's level of interest, I was able to make a call into this company and successfully turn them into a customer.

We're all here to work smarter, not harder! Alerts is a great way to be sure that you're working with intelligence on your side.

The Alerts tool is found on your reporting launch pad and is included in every VisiStat subscription. To see screenshots of this process, visit HERE.

And, don't forget to Alert me when you've won your first customer with Alerts! Tina at VisiStat.com

Tina,

I was in Albuquerque, New Mexico this past week at a Cyber Professionals (not to be confused with real estate groups having similar names) meeting and spoke on the merits of VisiStat as well as other products.

I recently came up with an idea for those stressed real estate home sellers who are anxious to know that their home is being marketed. I set up an alert but instead of sending to myself I send it directly to the homeowner. I insert the link to their page(s) on our site and send an email each time somebody looks at their home on our site. They get several visits (emails) each day which lets them know that even though their home has not sold, people are being exposed to it regularly on our website.

As soon as a home is listed, I send them a letter that explains what it is all about.

I write this email to you to let you know that we love the VisiStat product and to share an idea which works for us.
