The lead lifecycle

What the Leads and Eloqua screens manage — and why a selection tool ends in a warm hand-off rather than a form dump.

What it is

When a visitor completes the guided flow and converts, their session becomes a lead: the needs-profile (key answers), the recommendation, and the systems they viewed. Two admin surfaces sit on this pipeline:

  • Leads (/admin/leads) — the read-only sales view of every converted session, filterable by date, track, and hot-lead flag.
  • Eloqua (/admin/eloqua) — the configuration of the marketing hand-off: which session fields flow to which Eloqua contact fields, the target form binding, tracking and hot-lead scoring settings, and a connectivity check.

Why it exists

A recommendation the buyer walks away with is value delivered once; a recommendation that reaches sales with its reasoning attached is value that compounds. The lead view exists so a rep following up doesn't start cold — they see what the buyer actually needs, what was recommended and why, and whether behavior marks the lead hot. That context is the difference between a follow-up call and a qualified conversation.

Eloqua is where NanaWall marketing already lives, so NanaSelect integrates rather than inventing a parallel CRM. The integration is deliberately split in two: credentials live in Worker secrets owned by ops and never pass through the admin or D1; behavior (mappings, form binding, toggles) is admin-editable data. Failed submissions queue and retry, so an Eloqua outage never loses a lead.
