Sales and Marketing Automation

Automated workflows allow you to spend less time on repeat activities and focus on customer engagement. Basic automation allows you to set up simple workflows like the following:

“1. When you capture a lead->2. Send a follow-up email with a thank you message.”

Advanced automation lets you build complex workflows with multiple steps:

“1. When a web form is submitted->2. Send an introduction email->3. After 3 days, if no action is taken, send a follow-up email->4. After 2 days, if no action is taken, send a discount coupon, etc.”

Payments and Invoices

Keap allows you to accept credit cards, send invoices, and track payments right inside the app. In addition, Keap has native integrations with PayPal, Stripe, and WePay. The software makes it really easy to pay for clients via the “Pay Now” built-in button inside the invoice. You can also set up recurring payments and invoices (daily/weekly/monthly) reinforced with automated reminders so that you never miss a paycheck. Finally, you can configure the system to send reminders and notifications to chase down late invoices.

Email Marketing

Email is one of the most important communication channels to generate revenue, nurture leads, and maintain ongoing conversations with clients, and Keap recognizes this extremely well. The email marketing tool offers easy-to-setup automation for lead nurturing and moving contacts to the next stage in the pipeline. The software is loaded with an extensive collection of email templates, A/B testing capabilities, auto spam checking, and even intelligent email sending algorithms.

Keap is extremely easy to use. Everything is set up with such efficiency that even a novice would have no problems getting their job done from day one. The dashboard looks very clean and provides all the information that you need at a glance. The only exceptions are advanced automation features, but those require domain knowledge and experience to utilize them to their full effect.

All client activity and communications are in a single place. You can easily create contacts, edit customer and company information, and configure the software to handle follow-ups and payments automatically.

The pipeline is visual and very clean. The drag and drop functionality allows you to easily move leads between stages and add new stages, if necessary. The pipeline is fully customizable and is designed to show the most important information like a lead stage, communication notes, client information, and deal information. Users can create as many pipelines as required. The automation functionality is located right under each column, allowing you to set up the sales flow, as needed. Automation examples:

“1. When I move the lead into stage (hot), send an email and a discount coupon.”

“1.When I move the lead into stage (won), send an invoice->2. When an invoice is paid and the task is complete, send ask for a review email.”

Keap offers a few report categories – marketing analytics and reporting, sales reports, contact growth and engagement statistics, and payment and revenue analytics. All reports are rather in-depth and provide data that can be used to create targeted marketing campaigns, streamline the sales process, improve customer engagement and lead capturing, etc.
