Go to the questions ↓

What happened to each person who reached out?

This lead generation system brings together everything that brings in inquiries: ads, lead magnets, the website, landing pages and WhatsApp. Each person has a record in the CRM, with where they came from, who handled them and whether they ended up buying. For each campaign or piece you can see what it cost and what it sold. It's a concept: we tell it through Autos Norvel, a made-up car dealership franchise, with sample data.

The data exists, but each piece sits somewhere else

Meta reports how much was spent and how many inquiries came in. What happens next never reaches it. The inquiry carries on in a WhatsApp chat, a spreadsheet or the memory of whoever handled it. So nobody can say which ad brought which sale without cross-checking everything by hand.

What changes when you can see the sale

There's one rule: one record per person, from the first click to the sale. With that, cost per sale for your ads stops being a manual calculation, and the campaign ranking can flip. Tap both buttons and see what happens to the same four campaigns.

Value your used car USD 16 USD 770
WhatsApp messages USD 17 USD 198
Buying guide USD 18 USD 380
New car landing page USD 34 USD 440

Looking at inquiries, “Value your used car” seems like the best campaign.

Looking at sales, “Value your used car” drops from first place to last, and the best is “WhatsApp messages”.

Two paths that end in the same record

Laura comes in through an ad and writes on WhatsApp. Julieta doesn't want to talk to anyone yet, so she asks for a free guide. In both cases, the sale goes back to whatever brought it. The story is made up and shows how it works.

Laura wants to change her car. She sees a hybrid SUV reel on Instagram and taps “Send message”.

Autos Norvel · made-up story

Lead magnets: for people not ready to buy yet

Most people who see an ad don't want to talk to a salesperson yet, and they leave without a trace. A lead magnet gives them something useful in exchange for their details: a guide, a calculator, a valuation or a quiz. From there, the system makes sure that person doesn't get lost.

  • Capture people who aren't readyThey leave their details without talking to anyone, and their record keeps the source.
  • Learn what they wantWith the form or quiz, the record ends up hot, warm or cold.
  • Follow up with no manual workEmails go out every 2 or 3 days and stop when they book or buy.
  • Measure which one sellsFor each piece you see how many asked for it, opened the emails and bought.

Seven modules, depending on how your company sells

The first four are the base: the CRM, ad spend, the website and the dashboard. The other three are added depending on how each company sells. Pick one to see what it solves, what the system does and what a person does.

Every inquiry has a record and an owner, with Twenty as the CRM.

The problem today

Inquiries are scattered and nobody sees where each one ended up.

How it works

  2. It's assigned to a branch and an owner, with a task and a date.System
  3. The salesperson moves it through the company's stages.Person

The system suggests, the person confirms

Anything that moves money is confirmed by someone at the company. The system gathers the data and puts it within reach, but it doesn't pause campaigns or move budget on its own.

  • Moving the budgetA person decides, with the weekly summary.
  • Marking the saleThe salesperson marks it, and only then does it go back to the ad.
  • Answering the inquiryIt stays with the team, from WhatsApp.

We built it for ourselves first

Part of it already runs on mithandir.com: our website's visits, where they come from and the inquiries they leave are measured in our own dashboard, and each inquiry enters the CRM with its source. No company has it installed yet, so there are no sales results to show. That's why this case uses sample data.

  1. 01The visitThe website records where it comes from.
  2. 02The inquiryThe questionnaire keeps that source.
  3. 03The CRMThe record is created with its journey.
  4. 04The dashboardYou can see what each channel brought.
