Setup a Campaign to segment leads from your Lead Source. These could be short lived Cost-per-Click campaigns or long living acquisition campaign. 

Overview


In SalesExec, campaigns let you segment leads by specific marketing efforts (for example, PPC campaigns, long-term acquisition pushes, or event-driven campaigns). This segmentation is critical for accurate tracking, budgeting, and reporting across your marketing sources. Access this via Settings → Setup Marketing Channels, Lead Sources & Campaigns.

Key Functionality

  • Campaign Creation — Create a campaign tied to a lead source.

  • Ownership Assignment — Assign a campaign to either a corporate-level owner or a specific branch.

  • Budgeting & Pricing — Define a Price Per Lead or Total Budget for your campaign.

  • Campaign Duration — Set start and stop dates (or leave open-ended).

  • Status Management — Activate or stop campaigns dynamically.

  • Attribution — Ensure leads are correctly attributed to the right campaign for reporting.

How to Use This Feature

Note: ClickPoint doesn’t prevent you from using the same Marketing Channel, Lead Source or Campaign names. However, it is best practice to keep these unique. 

  • Select More on the left-hand side tool bar, then select Settings and then Setup Marketing Channels, Lead Sources and Campaigns.

  • On this screen, you can add and edit Marketing Channels, Lead Sources, and Campaigns. You can toggle between the three in the upper right corner. For now, select Campaign.

  • Select Add Campaign located in the upper left-hand corner.

  • Enter your Campaign Name and select an Owner. When the owner is the corporate level, all users within your organization can use them when manually adding leads. Set a branch owner if you wish for only those users under that branch, to have access. 

  • Add the Price per Lead or a Total Budget. You can also designate a Start and Stop date/ time to establish the duration of your Campaign

Note: In relation to Price per Lead and Budget, this depends on how you are purchasing your leads. For example, if you are purchasing leads from Lending Tree, you may have a total budget for this provider and decide to allocate a part of that budget to Refinance Short Form leads.

Starting and Stopping a Campaign

  • If you didn't specify a Start and Stop date, you can select the Start button to signify the starting of a campaign.

Starting a Campaign

Note: Since marketing events are typically associated with a budget, the Price per Lead and Total Budget fields can be utilized as a quick reference point. Campaigns are typically short-term marketing efforts and designating a start and end date is helpful for tracking active and expired campaigns.

Best Practices

  • Use descriptive and unique names (e.g., “Google Search – April Push”) to avoid confusion and overlap.

  • Match campaign ownership to the relevant team (corporate or branch) for accountability.

  • Align your budget settings with how you acquire those leads (CPL or shared budget).

  • Regularly review active campaigns and stop or archive ones that are no longer needed.

  • Communicate with your marketing team so they understand how campaign segmentation in SalesExec affects reporting.

Troubleshooting

  • Campaign not listed when adding leads: Check that it’s been saved and correctly associated with the right lead source.

  • Budget or Price per Lead incorrect: Reopen the campaign settings, adjust the value, and save again.

  • Campaign dates not working: Confirm that the start/stop dates are correctly set or that the campaign was manually started if no dates were specified.

  • Leads not attributed to the right campaign: Ensure that your lead sources are correctly set up to use this campaign, and that users select it when creating or importing leads.
