[Easybill](https://www.easybill.de/en) helps you to create invoices, offers and delivery notes with their cloud-based invoicing software. With their easy to use interface, you'll have your accounting paperwork ready in a blink of an eye, saving you time and money.

<Widget type="piesync-widget" left="easybill" />

## What is PieSync?

You’re probably using several cloud-based apps to help you run your business. These apps collect prospect and customer information across your different departments. The problem is that most apps are not natively integrated, so this data gets stuck in those apps. This results in islands of isolated data. 

Because of this, you have to work out a way to get contact data from one app to another, just to have your company's customer data up to date across all apps. A lot of businesses use the time-wasting import/export method, but with all the constantly data coming in, your apps are never really up-to-date. 

But don't worry, PieSync is here to help! 

PieSync integrates your contacts bidirectionally or in one way (you can choose) between your favorite cloud apps in real time. This means you will have access to the most up-to-date client information in all your apps, no matter where you are or who entered the data. You never have to manually transfer data again! 

You can also pick how you want to sync by deciding which fields to merge, which categories in each app should be in sync and much more.

## Benefits of PieSync

#### Intelligent Syncing

This is the latest feature of PieSync, it allows you to sync attributes, categories, lists, etc. Through an intuitive “ **If** –_this_– **then** –_that_” conditional logic, you can sync contacts maintaining your segmentation for marketing, communication, and support purposes. 

The “ **If** –_this_– **then** –_that_” rules or conditions enable you to accomplish complex automatic workflows across different applications.

#### Share accurate customer information across the different departments of your company.

Are your marketing, sales and accountancy teams working in different apps? 

Let's say your accountancy department is using easybill, your Sales team uses a CRM such as Nimble and your Marketing team is sending Email Marketing Campaigns via MailChimp. 

Then the data is probably stuck in these apps creating data silos. Data silos are inefficient and make communication between your teams and customers difficult. 

Nothing frustrates customers more than having to repeat their story each time they have contact with your company. Which is why you need to sync your data silos together so your teams can have a 360° overview on every customer, at all times. By keeping in sync these apps you can empower each app with the same accurate and up-to-date information.

#### No more import/export of your contacts

Most cloud apps work with import/export functions, which means you have to periodically remember to update your cloud apps with new data. You just have to setup your connection with PieSync once and forget about manual labor, PieSync will take care of that for you.

![sync xero](https://blogassets.piesync.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/second.gif)

#### Save Time

With PieSync, you no longer have to spend hours eliminating duplicate contacts, making sure everything is updated, etc. PieSync automatically transfers your data, and any updates you make, in real-time, across all your connected cloud apps.

#### 5-minute setup

You don’t have to waste hours of your time setting up and configuring your sync. It’s fast and easy, with one step authorizations.  It does not require any installation or download. The entire syncing solution exists in the cloud.

HubSpot

Outreach

Intercom

Follow Up Boss

Mailchimp

Drift

Prospect.io

Unbounce

Live chat, cold outreach, social media, pop-up forms... there are so many lead generation tools and strategies that your marketing team can follow. But there’s no single script for success and it can get overwhelming. In fact, [65% of businesses](https://www.hubspot.com/marketing-statistics) say that generating traffic and leads is their biggest marketing challenge.

To develop the best lead generation strategy for your business and avoid empty-pipeline worries, there are several things you can do. First, check the basics. The marketing teams with topped up funnels have certain things in common:

* They understand their personas and have pinpointed the goals, pain points and common attributes of their most valuable contacts. 
* They have identified the channels, formats, and delivery that appeal to these people and focus their lead gen efforts on what brings real results. 
* They have the analytics in place to show what is working. 

Once you have ticked these boxes, you will be in the best position to work on the next powerful step: **building a connected ecosystem of lead generation tools** to keep a consistent stream of quality leads flowing into your CRM.

When choosing marketing apps for lead gen, you can choose tools that allow you to implement:

* Live chat
* Website forms
* Pop-ups and opt-ins
* Facebook Ads
* Marketing automation
* Email lookup
* Content marketing lead collection
* Email followup
* Video lead gen
* Surveys
* Lead data collection
* Landing page creation
* Calendar scheduling


Here are just a few of the best tools for lead generation, which you can integrate together and with your other go-to apps using [PieSync](https://www.piesync.com/connections/).

## 1. [Drift](https://drift.com)

Use it for: live chat, calendar scheduling, landing pages

![drift](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/6dzziLnhN4hpQQKd5vo32R/72642e7735756118c08b2a24fca0e4c0/drift.png)


Drift isn’t just a live chat tool. Their team is leading the “conversational marketing” movement: a term they coined that is redefining the modern marketing playbook. 

By installing Drift on your website, you benefit from a live chat tool that’s supercharged with intelligent calendar scheduling, bot features, account-based marketing, and even conversational landing pages.

As a recent addition to their feature set, [Drift video](https://www.drift.com/video/) enables you to create and share **videos that start conversations**. 

Although they have a free plan with basic functionality that’s designed for individual users, Drift usually doesn’t come cheap. Their Pro plan for teams is $400/month and access to advanced automation features will set you back $1500/month. However, **you can think of the tool as a 24/7 SDR**, working behind the scenes to fill up your lead pipeline.

<Button text="Sync Drift" href="https://www.piesync.com/drift/" />


## 2. [Prospect.io](http://prospect.io)

Use it for: email lookup, email followup

![prospect](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/2b9cruKMZQpvrYlx6428Fv/f6df1482412b1e1df018c47a9441ed28/prospect.png)

Prospect.io is designed for sales teams, but a lot of marketers love it as a B2B lead gen tool. The **automation platform** provides a handy way to find and verify email addresses, job titles, location and other contact information. 

You can then reach out to these prospects via cold emails and drip campaigns and integrate new contacts and conversations with your existing tools as they move down the funnel.

<Button text="Syncing Prospect.io" href="https://www.piesync.com/prospect/" />


## 3. [HubSpot](https://hubspot.com)

Use it for: marketing automation, calendar scheduling, live chat, website forms, pop-ups and opt-ins, content marketing lead collection, email followup, landing page creation

![hubspot lead gen](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/5AJguubYHwLlYmGWtK30Yc/e0c9c845748578edc5352191579ad119/hubspot_lead_gen.png)

HubSpot is one of the most powerful all-in-one software choices out there. The HubSpot CRM is free, but once you start adding their Marketing, Sales, and Service Hubs it quickly gets expensive. However, as a growing team with enough budget, HubSpot enables you to tick a lot of boxes with the one tool.

To boost your leads, you can use HubSpot as automated lead generation software to **open up various contact collection channels** on your website, including website forms, live chat, pop-ups and banners, and calendar scheduling.

One of the biggest advantages of HubSpot is its automation features, especially once a new lead enters your funnel. [Marketers say that](http://www.adestra.com/resources/downloadable-reports/marketer-vs-machine/) the biggest benefits of automation are saving time (74%), increased customer engagement (68%), more timely communications (58%) and increased opportunities including up-selling (58%). HubSpot is one of the best tools for accessing these results.

<Button text="Syncing HubSpot" href="https://www.piesync.com/hubspot/" />

## 4. [Outreach.io](https://outreach.io)

Use it for: sales engagement, including sales dialer, sequences, email and tracking, and intelligence features

![outreach integration](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/7GTDvjjz3U6fYKobMBcEO/0b69c850789ace6280b135688f778e39/outreach_integration.png)

Are you using account-based sales in your lead gen and nurturing strategy? With an **account-based sales strategy**, you identify your target audience and get crystal-clear on your personas before creating a list of target companies and prospects to reach out to and nurture. This can be especially effective for enterprise sales.

Outreach.io is one of the most useful tools to manage account-based sales, especially when combined with data-enrichment tools like [Infer](https://infer.com/) and [Hull.io](hull.io) to help you learn more about your prospects.

<Button text="Syncing Outreach.io" href="https://www.piesync.com/outreach/" />

## 5. [Mailchimp](https://mailchimp.com)

Use it for: website forms, pop-ups and opt-ins

![Mailchimp integration](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/5E31LP33Y6O1WTPNPhFjpQ/e55f37a3164079f72916c9c74818064c/Mailchimp_integration.png)

Mailchimp is known first and foremost as a popular email marketing platform. But it’s also a powerful lead generation tool. With Mailchimp, you can get more leads in your funnel by:

* Embedding sign-up forms on your website, such as in your blog sidebar or website footer.
* Using pop-ups to convert website visitors to contacts with compelling content after they scroll a certain % or move their mouse to leave (exit intent).
* Creating a shareable URL link to your newsletter, allowing you and your subscribers to share your latest campaign on social media.

<Button text="Syncing Mailchimp" href="https://www.piesync.com/mailchimp/" />

## 6. [OptinMonster](https://optinmonster.com)

Use it for: website forms, pop-ups and opt-ins

![optimonster integration](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/7GSuPGDa9PHFI1k8w30SSj/0bbe1df583d914e81216bcccb695cb1d/optimonster_integration.png)

If you look at top-converting websites that generate leads while their marketers are asleep, you’ll probably notice they have something in common: they use pop-ups and opt-ins.

These take a bit of tact to get right, as you don’t want to bombard your website visitor with intrusive pop-ups and push up your bounce rate. A tool like OptinMonster helps you to set up your lead magnets and adjust the settings to be valuable instead of irritating to visitors.

## 7. [Follow Up Boss](https://followupboss.com)

Use it for: managing your leads as a real estate company

As a real estate professional, Follow Up Boss can radically streamline your work and help you close more deals with less effort. The CRM and lead management tool enables you to automatically import and distribute leads from 200+ sources.

![Follow Up Boss integration](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/6x8EoVkUkAM9ea8HxJoxOi/1c7f3119d5baa2672af7ef137b395928/Follow_Up_Boss_integration.png)


<Button text="Syncing Follow Up Boss" href="https://www.piesync.com/followupboss/" />

## 8. [Leadfeeder](https://leadfeeder.com)

Use it for: identifying who’s browsing your website

![Leadfeeder integration](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/32vQBLlPwLIDcpq7MbaDOO/c435ba273aa966e75fa7107b60ec6c25/Leadfeeder_integration.png)

Collecting website visitor data isn’t always easy. More often than not, it’s challenging. If you’re just looking at the information in Google Analytics and your CRM, you’re often missing the full picture. You might wonder, *who is actually looking at my website?* 

Leadfeeder is one tool that’s designed to help you get around these issues. The B2B lead generation software **identifies the companies and decision-makers visiting your website**, how they found you, and what they’re interested in. You can then send these new leads to your team by automatically updating your CRM.


## 9. [Intercom](http://intercom.com)

Use it for: live chat, email followup

![intercom integration](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/6Xuj0eYWzp9GJmNAAqu5nY/470887d56ff232720824fee96a71d9ef/intercom_integration.png)

Intercom is a powerful all-round solution with a great reputation for both B2B and B2C companies. It allows you to create many types of chat on your website – tailored for both sales and support – and makes it easy to incorporate helpful knowledge bases and qualification forms. 

Intercom has been putting a lot of effort into developing their automation features in recent years, so customers can **quickly capture the right information** and immediately respond to frequently asked questions using custom bots.

<Button text="Syncing Intercom" href="https://www.piesync.com/intercom/" />


## 10. [Unbounce](https://unbounce.com)

Use it for: landing page creation, pop-ups and opt-ins

![unbounce integration](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/530g33UM8yhaACVIzqdU98/0ada00f15383804968de9108ab6deb9b/unbounce_integration.png)

Lead generation and high-converting landing pages go hand-in-hand… but how do you create a landing page that converts? Unbounce is designed to make that easier. With their page builder, you can easily **create custom landing pages that convert more visitors** than other solutions. 

It’s also simple to use Unbounce with your other tools, [including direct publishing to WordPress](https://unbounce.com/product/integrations/wordpress/), so you can avoid clunky plugins and get the results you want faster.

10 of the best lead generation tools to top up your marketing funnel

![lead conversion follow up boss](//images.ctfassets.net/f2ysq090txql/6zAubk79DZQlPjaDUokjQP/dc29363cc237e85f0b0dc2642c6a14de/lead_conversions_real_estate.png)

There's no shortage of challenges when you buy or sell a home.

*“In real estate, there’s almost always a major life event happening at the time of the home purchase. Your client might be going through downsizing, upsizing, divorce, getting married, having a baby, etc."* says Debra Beagle co-owner and Managing Broker of the #1 RE/MAX team in the world.

In fact, sales for high-ticket products (think above $10,000) require a [minimum of seven touches](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20140515154931-96757-how-many-touches-make-a-sale) to convert. There's just no way around it: __the more expensive the product, the more complex the sale.__

But that doesn’t stop Realtors from crushing multi-million dollar deals. So, what’s their secret?

Here are actionable lessons on how to boost conversions on big-ticket items straight from real estate agents who regularly close million-dollar transactions.

<RelatedPost slug="andrew-caton-story" />

## Lesson #1 - Set up a solid process

High-end buyers tend to be discerning, cautious and usually have a lot of questions. After all, there is a ton of risk (and more than a few stakeholders) involved in a single transaction.

The best Realtors have systems and processes in place to consistently deliver value and answer all their prospects questions, without losing time or efficiency. 

Top-notch team leaders like Debra focus on training agents to be unparalleled sources of intel for their prospects, providing regular updates on the market via a [simple, focused CRM](https://www.followupboss.com/blog/best-real-estate-crm/) which also helps ensure agents are following up with leads.

Data from the [Sales Management Association](https://salesmanagement.org/) shows that __90% of all companies that use a formal, guided sales process were ranked among the highest performing brands in their market. __

Boosting conversions on big-ticket items is all about having a repeatable and [efficient process.](https://www.process.st/process-improvement/) 

No matter what tool you use, make sure you have a rock-solid system so that you never have to wonder who to contact first when you sit down at your desk every morning.


## Lesson #2 - Use thought leadership to build authority

According to an [Edelman and LinkedIn survey](http://www.edelman.com/b2b-thought-leadership/), 82% of business decision makers found that a brand's ability to demonstrate thought leadership increased their level trustworthiness.

__And trust is everything when closing a complex sale. __

While there are many ways to become a thought leader, one of the best methods is to simply become the most valuable resource in your market. For instance, luxury agents like [Gary Ashton](https://www.garyashton.com/) leverage their superior expertise to sell million-dollar homes to former senators, CEOs, even the GM of the Tennessee Titans. 

And Gary knows *everything* about his market. From the diverse kinds of communities his prospects want to be a part of to the Italian tiles in the kitchen—he can inform his potential buyers with every last detail they want to know (but don’t want to spend the time researching themselves).

## Lesson #3 - Be empathetic

Back in the day, [*"Always Be Closing"*](https://blog.hubspot.com/sales/terrible-closing-techniques) was the norm among sales reps. But today, that old adage just doesn't cut it, especially when prospecting big-ticket buyers.

Today, you need to be genuinely empathetic and knowledgeable about the nuances of your market. As a salesperson, it’s your job to put yourself in your client’s shoes. After all, their decision will have a tangible impact on the people in their life, their office, or their community.

__Ask yourself a few simple questions:__

- What can my prospect stand to gain by working with me?
- What could my prospect lose by working with me?
- What other decisions makers influence the transaction?

In real estate, prospects make life-changing decisions (read: buying a home) that can bring about some major anxiety. So why not go the extra mile to connect with your clients on an emotional level?

For example, in addition to always being available to answer customer questions, Rainbow Russell, Client Care Coordinator for CRG Companies attends all closing meetings, bringing along a basket with goodies like coffee mugs, a jar of local honey and a thank you card.

It's a little extra lovin' that helped the team [triple their conversions](https://www.followupboss.com/blog/million-dollar-sales-strategies-work-5-practical-systems-best-realtors-business/) to over $25 million in sales volume.

<RelatedPost slug="real-estate-crm-what-you-need-to-know" />

## Lesson #4 - Build symbiotic alliances

Let's circle back to Debra and Gary for a minute.

In 2011, Debra found herself with a ton of listings and not enough time in the day.

But when she partnered with Gary—who was bringing a steady flow of buyer leads—the business simply “exploded.”

At the time, Debra had reached approximately $9 million in revenue and Gary and his team were at about $79 million. __But today, their partnership has resulted in a rockstar team on track to hit annual *revenue of over $400 million*.__

The key takeaway from this is the value Gary and Debra could provide their clients due to leveraged community connections. Introducing your prospect to someone who can solve a specific problem for them offers the kind of value they never forget. 

More importantly, showing your prospect that you have ‘connections’ helps them see you not just as a “salesperson”, but as someone reliable with skin in the game.

## Follow an ‘anti-sell’ approach

In big-ticket transactions, the stakes are high for both agents and customers. Remember, your job is about more than simply selling a solution.

No matter how big, savvy or influential the client—they're still human. Keep it real and remain focused on how you can solve their immediate problem.

Be that one person who genuinely gets it and they’ll remember you as a trusted ally, not just another pushy sales rep. And that is how you sell like a Realtor.
