Top 10 features in Lead qualification software

One of the questions we ask every customer - whether a client or their digital agency, is who qualifies your leads - do you have a call center, business development representatives, or do the leads go straight to the sales team?

For example, many real estate companies we speak to say they push property buyer leads straight to the sales team for the project in question.

But automotive brands (we actually conducted a mystery shopping study of digital lead response by automotive dealerships) will have a digital lead management team call and verify the lead first, and then the lead is pushed to the relevant dealership nearest the customer’s location.

Financial services providers may send an email first to verify a customer’s interest after someone fills up an online application form or asks for a quote.

Regardless of the industry, it can take anywhere from an hour to 48 hours, and sometimes 5-6 days before a lead gets qualified and is sent to the sales team. If sent directly to the sales team, then they spend 80% of their day qualifying leads.

The best way forward is to make use of lead qualification software to automate and trigger an instant response.

This software will have to validate the lead’s email and phone number, verify their intent, and then schedule an appointment to speak with your sales team.

This three-stage qualification process can be almost fully automated without anyone calling a lead. Which lead qualification software can do this, and what are the features you should look for?

We have listed here the top 10 features to look for in lead qualification software, which will enable you to automate lead qualification before handing them over to sales.
