This integration empowers you to streamline lead capture directly within your B2B commerce platform, ensuring valuable lead information is captured and nurtured efficiently, ultimately boosting your B2B sales pipeline. 

The Challenge of Disconnected Lead Capture 

Traditional B2B sales often face a disconnect between the online and offline worlds: 

  • Limited Lead Capture Options: B2B commerce platforms might lack robust lead capture functionalities, hindering the ability to capture valuable customer information. 
  • Manual Data Entry: Transferring lead data from the commerce platform to Sales Cloud manually can be time-consuming and error-prone. 
  • Delayed Lead Nurturing: Delays in lead transfer can lead to missed opportunities to nurture leads and convert them into sales-qualified prospects.

Beyond the Basics: Optimizing Lead Capture
