The problem it solves

Leads come in from your website at all hours, and figuring out who should follow up wastes precious time while the lead's interest cools off. Without a clear system, leads get missed or handed to the wrong person entirely.

Who it fits

Sales managers and business development teams who need fast, fair lead distribution.

How it works

  1. A new lead submits your web form
  2. The system matches the lead to a sales rep by country and industry, falling back to territory or round robin if there's no match
  3. A message posts in your Slack sales channel with the lead's details, tagging the assigned rep
  4. A follow-up reminder is automatically set in Slack for four hours later
What you get

Leads that reach a rep before anyone forgets them

New leads land in front of the right sales rep in Slack instantly, with a follow-up reminder already set.

What you get

An assigned lead with a Slack notification and a built-in follow-up reminder.

What you need

A web form connected to the system and a Slack workspace with a bot.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
