Many organizations rely on HubSpot forms, Google Forms, or Microsoft Office Forms to capture leads at events. These tools seem simple and easy to use, making them popular choices for manual lead capture. However, as event demands grow and data volumes increase, these methods struggle to keep up and add extra steps to the follow-up process. If you’re considering replacing HubSpot, Google, and Microsoft Forms for lead capture with a more efficient solution, it’s time to explore how Captello’s Universal Lead Capture delivers better results.
The Challenges of Manual Lead Capture with HubSpot, Google, and Microsoft Forms
While familiar, these manual lead capture tools come with several limitations that impact sales and marketing effectiveness. Manual data entry or exports are prone to errors, duplication, and incomplete information, leading to poor lead quality. Since these forms often require internet connectivity, lead capture may be delayed or lost in offline event environments.
Additionally, there is minimal automation for follow-up. Sales teams must manually download or export leads and initiate outreach, slowing down engagement and risking lost momentum. Reporting and analytics are often limited, requiring manual exports to spreadsheets for ROI tracking. CRM integrations are typically basic or require third-party connectors, increasing complexity and the risk of errors.
