Understand What Channels Boost Client Conversions With Walla’s Lead Sources Report

From identifying leads to initial contact, every touchpoint in your sales funnel should be dialed in to maximize individual opportunities, increase client conversions (and help your studio earn more revenue). But if you’re using outside sources or third-party tools for lead management, you could miss out on crucial moments before a lead’s interest in your studio fades. That’s why Walla’s Sales & Marketing Center is dialing in lead-driven data through our Sales CRM (customer relationship management) and lead management tools, like the Lead Sources Report! 

The Lead Sources Report gives you ultimate visibility into your studio’s leads and conversion types. Not only will you save time and have instant access to accurate lead data, but you’ll also have the chance to make informed decisions about your sales funnel—and what sources are worth investing in regarding lead generation and conversions. This report equips you with the ability to filter by date, conversion metrics, and percentages based on channel performance. By seeing what channels are your high performers (and worth your time and money), like paid social, search, events, member referrals, and organic website traffic, just to name a few, you’ll have informed insights into sources so you can make adjustments if needed. 

Besides getting a pulse on lead sources and their performance, the Lead Sources Report provides valuable insights into where potential members are coming from, enabling your fitness businesses to dial in your marketing and sales efforts.
