The problem it solves

New leads come in from different places, and keeping Salesforce accurate means constantly checking whether a contact already exists before deciding whether to create or update it. Done by hand, this is repetitive and easy to get wrong, leading to duplicate or outdated records.

Who it fits

Sales teams and sales operations staff who manage lead records in Salesforce.

How it works

  1. New lead information is submitted to the system
  2. The system checks Salesforce for a matching existing lead
  3. If the lead exists, its record is updated with the new details
  4. If not, a new lead is created
  5. Salesforce reflects the current, accurate lead record
What you get

Your Salesforce lead records stay accurate and up to date without anyone re-entering information by hand.

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.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
