WordPress isn’t often thought of as a CMS that business can utilize, but it is. Highly customizable, it extends functionality through the use of various plugins. Trust me- there’s a plugin for everything. One thing that has been throwing us for a loop is the idea of the “average” contact form. The contact form that simply lets the user enter in some data, and the lead is thrown into your email inbox for you to find, risking going into your spam folder never to be found again There has to be something simpler than this… right?
Right. This is how WordPress-to-lead was born. When integrated with the Salesforce CRM, this is a powerhouse for your website. By nature, WordPress plugins are always easy to install, so business owners new to WordPress will not have any problems installing and activating this.

Skipping the complete anarchy of finding your lead information in your email inbox, WordPress-to-leadwill pull all the information out of your contact form and put it directly into the Salesforce CRM, completely eliminating any chance of error that could occur if you were copying and pasting it yourself. This is both efficient and time saving. Salesforce found great value in this. According to Joost de Valk at Yoast,
“Because the WordPress-to-lead plugin had the potential to really help their SMB customers, Salesforce.com enthusiastically offered to sponsor the program.”
The beauty of this plugin is that it also:
- syncs effortlessly with Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo! and more
- tracks all your interactions and conversions
- keep all your information and tasks organized under one roof
If you want to see this great plugin in action, simply take a look at the video below:
