Collect Customer Data
Stronger sales growth starts with marketing campaigns designed to capture and qualify as many leads as possible. For this step, Formstack’s form builder comes in handy. Whether you customize a pre-built template or build your own online form, your prospects will be given a way to provide information quickly and easily—on laptops as well as smartphones and tablets.
That’s not even the best part.
With more than 40 pre-built integrations with other popular web apps, it’s easy to sync new customer data directly with your CRM.

Streamline Sales Workflows
Research shows that poorly managed leads and lost productivity cost companies a collective $1 trillion or more every year—and that top-performing companies are twice as likely to have automated their sales processes.
Which is why sales automation workflows are so important. Taking time to put important processes on autopilot will free you from manual data entry and other time-consuming tasks that don't directly impact your ability to close deals.
We suggest becoming comfortable with Formstack’s advanced approvals and automated workflow features. These tools can empower your team to respond to leads within seconds and notify the right sales team member as soon as a new customer request comes in.
Stay Connected with Customers
Did you know that it’s 25 times more expensive to acquire new customers than it is to retain existing ones? That means it’s not just leads and prospects who need to hear from you. Your current customers will also want to interact with your team for assistance and information.
Formstack is designed to help with these post-conversion communications, too. And not just by building basic email nurture campaigns or setting up reminders and alerts. You can get as granular as you like when customizing the experience for your customers.
For example: The information you collect with Formstack forms can be used to personalize presentations, deliver sales quotes and other important documents, pre-populate forms, and even gather signatures.
While these are far from the only automation tools available to sales teams, they’re some of the most critical. You can make big improvements to your sales processes simply by collecting the right data, streamlining workflows, and using automation to stay connected to customers.
