Reach Out to Prospects Who Abandon Carts Before Purchasing
It's always a bummer to see a customer abandon their cart. This automation lets you reach out to them to find out why, possibly recovering a sale in the process.
Create a New Zap in Zapier, selecting your store platform as the "Trigger App" and “New Abandoned Cart” as the trigger event.
Set Up Actions: Notify your sales team via Slack and SMS, and register the customer info in your CRM as a lead.
Reach Out: Your team reaches out to the customer to understand their concerns and possibly guide them through the purchase process if they're ready.
Follow-up: If the customer isn't ready to purchase yet, record their info, follow up later, and provide attentive service to encourage future purchases.
This setup helps you catch those nearly-missed sales opportunities and nurture customer relations. It's a compact, yet potent formula to keep the sales momentum going!
