Core Features Smart CRM Dashboard - mikeoller82/HighLaunchPad GitHub Wiki

Feature: Smart CRM Dashboard

HighLaunchPad provides a Smart CRM (Customer Relationship Management) Dashboard to help you manage leads, track interactions, and build stronger relationships with your audience and customers.

(Developer Note: This section is based on the features outlined in the main README.md: "Lead scoring and pipeline management", "Contact enrichment and tagging", "Activity timeline tracking", "Form integration and data capture". The actual implementation details in src/app/dashboard/crm/ would provide more specific information.)

Overview

A CRM is the heart of managing customer interactions. HighLaunchPad's CRM is tailored for creators and digital entrepreneurs, focusing on simplicity and actionable insights.

Key aspects mentioned in the project vision:

  • Lead Scoring: Automatically score leads based on their engagement and attributes to prioritize follow-ups.
  • Pipeline Management: Visualize and manage your sales or lead nurturing process through customizable pipelines.
  • Contact Enrichment and Tagging: Add detailed information to contact profiles and use tags for segmentation and organization.
  • Activity Timeline Tracking: See a chronological history of all interactions with a contact (e.g., email opens, link clicks, page visits, form submissions).
  • Form Integration and Data Capture: Capture leads from website forms directly into the CRM.

Using the Smart CRM Dashboard

(Developer Note: The following sub-sections are speculative based on common CRM features and the project's stated goals. These should be verified against the actual implementation in src/app/dashboard/crm/ and related components.)

1. Accessing the CRM

  • Navigate to Dashboard > CRM (or a similar path).
  • The main view might be a list of contacts, a pipeline view, or a summary dashboard.

2. Contact Management

  • Adding Contacts:
    • Manually add new contacts.
    • Contacts automatically added via form submissions or other integrated lead capture methods.
    • Import contacts (e.g., via CSV).
  • Contact Profile:
    • View and edit contact details (name, email, phone, company, custom fields).
    • Tags: Apply tags to contacts for easy filtering and segmentation (e.g., "Hot Lead," "Customer_ProductA," "Newsletter_Subscriber").
    • Activity Timeline: A chronological log of all interactions:
      • Emails sent, opened, clicked.
      • Website pages visited (if site tracking is integrated).
      • Forms submitted.
      • Notes added by team members.
      • Purchases made (if e-commerce is integrated).
    • Lead Score: A numerical score indicating the lead's qualification or engagement level.
  • Custom Fields: Define custom fields to store information specific to your business needs.

3. Lead Scoring

  • Rule-Based Scoring:
    • Set up rules to automatically adjust lead scores based on actions or attributes.
    • Examples:
      • "+10 points for opening an email."
      • "+20 points for visiting the pricing page."
      • "+5 points if job title contains 'Manager'."
      • "-5 points for inactivity for 30 days."
  • The lead score helps identify high-potential leads that require immediate attention.

4. Pipeline Management

  • Visual Pipelines: Create and customize sales or lead nurturing pipelines (e.g., "New Lead" -> "Contacted" -> "Demo Scheduled" -> "Closed Won").
  • Drag-and-Drop Interface: Move contacts between stages in the pipeline.
  • Deal Tracking: Associate deals or opportunities with contacts, including potential value and expected close date.
  • View pipeline reports to understand conversion rates between stages.

5. Form Integration and Data Capture

  • Form Builder: HighLaunchPad may include a native form builder (src/components/forms/form-builder.tsx).
  • Integration with Website Forms:
    • Embed forms created in HighLaunchPad onto your website or funnels.
    • Submissions automatically create or update contacts in the CRM.
  • Map form fields to CRM contact fields.

6. Segmentation and Filtering

  • Use powerful filtering options to create lists of contacts based on:
    • Tags
    • Custom field values
    • Activity (e.g., "opened email X but did not click link Y")
    • Lead score ranges
  • Saved segments can be used for targeted email campaigns or automation workflows.

Benefits

  • Centralized Contact Data: All your lead and customer information in one place.
  • Improved Follow-up: Prioritize leads effectively with lead scoring and pipeline management.
  • Personalized Communication: Understand your contacts better through activity tracking and segmentation, enabling more relevant messaging.
  • Streamlined Processes: Automate data capture and reduce manual data entry.
