Challenge

A B2B service provider was losing leads due to:

  • Inconsistent follow-up (some leads waited weeks for responses)
  • No clear pipeline visibility
  • Manual proposal drafting taking hours per lead
  • Scattered contact data across email, spreadsheets, and sticky notes

Solution

We implemented a CRM and automation system that:

  1. Centralized all contacts into a single, clean database
  2. Automated follow-up sequences for new leads
  3. Built proposal templates with AI-assisted customization
  4. Created a visual pipeline showing deal stages and next actions

Outcome

  • 25% increase in lead-to-customer conversion
  • 40% faster response times (from days to hours)
  • 50% reduction in time spent drafting proposals
  • Full pipeline visibility for the first time in company history

Key Takeaway

Marketing automation isn’t about spam—it’s about consistency. When every lead gets timely, relevant follow-up, conversion rates rise and nothing falls through the cracks.
