FAQ

Why does response time matter so much?
Harvard Business Review found that leads contacted within 5 minutes are 21x more likely to convert than those contacted after 30 minutes. After 1 hour, chances drop 60x. Speed is literally the most important factor in lead conversion.
How do you handle routing conflicts?
We build priority hierarchies: named account ownership trumps territory, territory trumps round-robin. Overlap rules are defined upfront with clear resolution logic. If conflicts remain, managers get flagged.
Can routing work across time zones?
Yes. We implement follow-the-sun routing u2014 leads go to reps who are currently in business hours. After-hours leads either queue for next-available or route to global coverage teams.
What if a rep is on vacation?
Automated vacation/OOO handling: routing rules check rep availability, temporarily reassign territories, and redistribute pipeline. When the rep returns, routing automatically restores.
