In the context of increasingly fierce global trade competition, efficient management of overseas customer leads has become a key factor in the success of foreign trade enterprises. IntBell’s “Customer Leads” feature is designed specifically for cross-border enterprises. It helps foreign trade teams convert potential business opportunities into actual orders through level evaluation, labeling systems, and scientific follow-up. This article will delve into the core advantages of IntBell’s customer lead management system, including multi-dimensional customer classification, scientific follow-up strategy design, and differentiated value from mainstream CRM tools, providing a complete overseas business opportunity management solution for foreign trade enterprises.

I. Level Evaluation and Labeling System: Building a Panoramic View of Business Opportunities

1. Level Evaluation Model

A scoring mechanism can also be adopted to automatically evaluate customer levels through the following key indicators:

• Interaction Quality: Call duration, email response speed, professionalism of inquiries
• Demand Matching: Product browsing records, matching degree of inquired items
• Decision-making Ability: Company size, job level, budget information
• Time Attenuation: Recent interactions get higher weights

Scoring Levels:

• ★★★★★ (90-100 points): Key follow-up required within a week
• ★★★★ (70-89 points): Maintain contact within two weeks
• ★★★ (50-69 points): Cultivate once a month
• ★★ (30-49 points): Reach out once a quarter
• ★ (0-29 points): Archive for observation

2. Custom Labeling System

Foreign trade teams can also create business-specific labels:

• Behavioral Labels: Such as “sample application”, “price sensitivity”, “technical consultation”
• Stage Labels: Such as “initial contact”, “demand confirmation”, “quotation stage”
• Risk Labels: Such as “payment delay”, “factory inspection requirement”, “competitor comparison”

Practical tip: Attach 3-5 core labels to each customer, and quickly locate target customer groups through combined screening

II. Scientific Follow-up Strategies: Systematically Improving Conversion Rates

Visual follow-up strategy:

Key node control:

• The first response time is controlled within 24 hours (the golden period for international inquiries)
• Set the longest interval reminder for each stage (to avoid customer cooling)
• Trigger key actions (such as following up feedback 3 days after quotation)
