- National logistics operator
From 26 hours to 12 minutes response time
Automated lead enrichment, a scoring model and instant routing to the sales rep for each territory for a logistics operator with a national network and five regional branches.
Leads left waiting a whole day
Quote requests arrived in a shared inbox. Every morning, one person reviewed them, looked up information on each company and forwarded them by email to the relevant branch. The average time to first contact was 26 hours.
Sales reps spent several hours a week filling in CRM data and researching companies before calling, and there were no criteria for prioritising the requests with the most potential.
- Respond to leads within minutes
- Eliminate manual research
- Prioritise the requests with the most potential
- Measure conversion by branch
