What if your sales team only talked to leads that were actually ready to buy?
Right now, your reps are spending half their time on leads that will never close. We automate lead scoring, routing, and follow-up so the right rep gets the right lead at the right time.
Helping sales teams across the US and Canada close faster.
This page covers lead intake, AI scoring, routing, and handoff automation — not CRM setup or marketing strategy. We automate the operational workflow so your sales team can focus on selling.
Where leads go to die
Most leads don't fail because the product is wrong. They fail because the process is wrong. Here's where we see it break:
Slow response time
A lead fills out a form at 10am. Nobody calls until 3pm. By then they've already talked to your competitor.
No scoring or prioritization
Your best reps are spending time on tire-kickers while hot leads sit in a queue.
Bad routing
The enterprise lead went to the SMB rep. The construction lead went to the healthcare specialist. Nobody noticed for a week.
Manual qualification
Someone has to look at each lead, research the company, decide if it's worth pursuing, and assign it. That takes 15 minutes per lead.
Dropped follow-ups
Lead got qualified but nobody followed up. The task got lost in someone's to-do list. The lead went cold.
No visibility into the pipeline
You don't know how many leads came in last week, what happened to them, or where the bottleneck is.

What automated qualification looks like
Every step from lead capture to rep handoff, running without manual intervention.
Multi-source capture
Forms, chatbot, email, social — every lead lands in one pipeline automatically.
Data enrichment
Company size, industry, tech stack, and social profiles are pulled in automatically to fill out the lead profile.
Intelligent scoring
Leads are scored based on fit criteria (company size, industry) and engagement signals (pages visited, content downloaded).
Smart routing
Qualified leads go to the right rep based on territory, industry expertise, or round-robin assignment.
Automated follow-up
Instant confirmation email. If no rep action within 30 minutes, escalation triggers. No lead goes cold.
Pipeline visibility
Real-time dashboards show lead volume, response times, conversion rates, and rep performance.
The math on speed-to-lead
This isn't opinion. The data on lead response time is clear and dramatic:
Leads contacted within 5 minutes
are 21x more likely to qualify than leads contacted after 30 minutes.
Drop in contact rate after the first hour
After 60 minutes, your odds of reaching the lead drop by 10x compared to the first 5 minutes.
of deals go to the first responder
The first vendor to respond meaningfully wins the deal nearly 4 out of 5 times.
Most businesses are optimizing for lead volume — more campaigns, more ads, more content. But the bigger win is usually lead velocity — responding faster and routing smarter with the leads you already have.
Typical improvements we see
Lead-to-first-contact time
Qualified lead conversion rate
Rep time on qualified leads
Every lead gets a response

Frequently asked questions
How long does lead qualification automation take to set up?
Typically 3-4 weeks. That includes connecting your lead sources, building scoring logic, setting up routing rules, and integrating with your CRM. Simpler setups with one CRM can go faster.
Do we need AI for lead scoring?
Not necessarily. Many businesses get great results with rule-based scoring (industry, company size, engagement level, etc.). AI scoring adds value when you have enough historical data to train on — usually 1,000+ leads with outcome data.
What CRMs do you work with?
HubSpot, Salesforce, and most CRM platforms. We also work with businesses that manage leads in spreadsheets or custom tools — we can either integrate with those or help you migrate.
Can you automate follow-up sequences too?
Yes. Once a lead is scored and routed, we can trigger personalized follow-up sequences — emails, task assignments for reps, or notifications in Slack. The goal is that no qualified lead goes cold.
What if our sales process is complex or consultative?
That's actually where automation helps most. Complex sales have more handoff points, more qualification criteria, and more places where leads fall through. We automate the operational steps so your reps can focus on the consultative ones.
