HubSpot Announces Lead Tracking Tool for Its Internet Marketing System
HubSpot has announced Lead Tracking and Intelligence for its Internet marketing system, allowing users to track leads’ paths through their sites and capture intelligence about them to help qualify leads and close more sales.

HubSpot’s tool tracks detailed information about every visitor to a website. This information turns into valuable intelligence when visitors convert to leads. For each potential lead, HubSpot tracks the number of visits, the referring source and details about activities such as commenting and watching webinars. When an individual fills out a form on a user’s website, all of this intelligence is captured in the HubSpot lead tracker.
