If you have a robust lead generation process, you likely practice Lead Segmentation. This task works by assigning leads into different groups depending on how closely they align with your Ideal Customer Profile. An Ideal Customer Profile, or ICP, is simply a set of characteristics that define your most valuable customers, like industry, location, annual revenue, and size. You can use these factors to evaluate whether or not a lead is likely to convert. Strong leads deserve priority status – you should place them in a separate group that’s easily identifiable. This process is known as Lead Segmentation.
Contact Tagging is a shortcut to lead segmentation. If you find a promising lead in the Merlin Intel Platform, make sure you hit the Tag button. This will make it easy to revisit this lead in the future when you have time for qualification or nurturing.
