How We Increased Sales Conversion by 67% with AI-Powered CRM
SoftwareSolutions AG, a B2B software company with 50+ sales representatives, was struggling with lead qualification, sales forecasting, and inconsistent follow-up processes. Their existing CRM had the data but lacked the intelligence to prioritize opportunities effectively.
The Challenge
SoftwareSolutions AG faced several critical challenges with their existing CRM system:
1. Manual Lead Scoring
Sales reps relied on gut feeling to prioritize leads, resulting in wasted time on low-potential prospects and missed opportunities with high-value ones.
2. Inconsistent Follow-up
No standardized process for follow-up timing or messaging, leading to lost opportunities and inconsistent customer experience.
3. Inaccurate Sales Forecasting
Forecasts were consistently off by 30-40%, making resource allocation and business planning difficult.
4. Data Silos
Customer data was spread across CRM, marketing automation, support tickets, and usage analytics with no unified view.
