Why Do You Need a CRM for Facebook Lead Ads?
Whenever you run a Lead ad on Facebook, the lead information is saved on the platform itself. To source this information, they have to download the CSV file manually from the platform within the window of 90 days.
Now there are potential problems with this equation. Manually downloading the CSV file from Facebook and uploading it on the CRM can be time-consuming and eat up a lot of your team’s productive time.
Plus, acting on a hot lead becomes difficult for the sales team if they have to constantly switch between the platforms. As a result, a lot of leads from the campaign get contacted when they are cold and difficult to convert.
In addition to that, Facebook stores all your leads only for 90 days. So, if you forget to download your leads within this time frame, you will lose them in the end.
All these problems can be solved by using Facebook Lead Ads integration with CRM or in our case Kylas.
