Customer Overview
Customer is a fast-growing B2B technology leader with regional sales teams managing high lead volume and diverse account territories.
The Challenge
As customer scaled, the manual assignment of leads and accounts created operational friction and slowed sales response times. Without automation, several pain points emerged:
This disconnect led to several challenges:
- Delayed and inconsistent lead follow-up due to manual routing
- Unclear account ownership, resulting in duplicate efforts and internal confusion
- Limited managerial visibility into territory coverage and rep accountability
Customer needed a structured, automated approach to ensure every lead and account reached the right owner at the right time.
