Your sales documents help you convert your leads into customers 🎉🙌
They do, right? Of course! You can easily prove it by measuring which documents are used most by your sales team, which ones your prospects open and read, and…
Umm, you are tracking them… aren’t you?
OK, whether you track them or not, don’t worry. You’re in the right place now, because we’re reviewing how you can analyze usage by creating short links to track your sales documents.
The question is – how to make sure your documents are both easily accessible and trackable so you can measure the value of your assets 👍
We do this using a short links.
These short URLs help you track your asset’s performance, prospect impressions, and more. And give your sales team the power to get notifications and follow up exactly when it’s needed most.
It’s a clever way to get your content out to prospects while allowing you to evaluate your sales and marketing efforts.
So how do you actually create the links?
The easy answer is to use the url shortener tool included in Content Camel in your sales processes. But there are some other ways, too.
But before we get into that, let’s talk a little more about these trackable short links to help you get an understanding of what your sales and marketing teams are potentially missing out on.
A trackable short link is created with an online tool that converts your lengthy (and ugly) URL into a short link that takes you to the same spot. Bonus points for having the link on your own domain.
And besides looking better, you get access to click analytics, add UTM parameters, and much more.
These trackable links enable you to evaluate your sales and marketing campaigns.
They also enable your sales team to track their shared assets across multiple platforms for winning patterns and timely followup.
It’s the insights that help you understand the performance of your link and evaluate the worth of your asset. That’s why sellers have moved to incorporating short links into their outreach and double-down on what’s working to provide a buyer experience that your competitors could only wish for.
It couldn’t be easier to create short links with Content Camel.

An advanced short link taps into opportunities to provide more value through your short link.
What’s absolutely awesome about these smarter links is that you can customize your links for branding or personal flair. And these custom domains are easier to read, more eye-catching, and let your customers know what to expect when opening the link.
To take advantage of advanced shortlinks, you’ll configure DNS CNAME records to point the shortener at your own domain, and then set the path (end part) of the link with the keywords you want.
It becomes easier to sort them, helping your team to better organize the content. On top of that, custom short links are more memorable because they contain specific keywords that are associated with the linked sales document. That’s why users are more inclined towards trusting such a link by clicking it.
And an added bonus is advanced short URLs count as backlinks. So here’s to driving traffic on your business’ website and increasing your chances to rank higher on search engines.
While Content Camel is your one-stop solution to manage your marketing and sales content with link shortener services, there are many alternatives out there that only offer link shortening software.
While many are amazing on their own, it makes more sense to invest in a marketing and sales content management tool that offers short links rather than investing in a stand-alone tool for each feature you need. That way, you’ll get the analytics on what content is actually being used vs just click analytics. That’s the difference between making a decision with data and having simply vanity metrics.
Let’s compare some of the leading link shorteners with Content Camel:
