What We Were Hired to Solve
The Gap
No single system tracked prospects from first enquiry to sales handoff. Leads fell through the cracks.
The Pain
Reps spent hours weekly on manual logging, routing, and follow-ups. Response times were inconsistent and often missed.
The Fix
An end-to-end system that captures, scores, routes, nurtures, and hands off every prospect without manual intervention.
Automation Scope

Eight workflow types built around QuantusTechnik's industrial B2B sales cycle, from first web enquiry to qualified sales handoff.

Understanding the Client Behind the Marketing Automation Project

Rajesh Gaikwad needed a structured way to capture inquiries, assign leads, track follow-ups, and give the sales team better visibility across every stage.

Client Requirement

The client wanted to replace scattered lead handling with a connected automation system. The goal was to reduce missed follow-ups, improve lead routing, and make sales activity easier to monitor.

Primary Need

Centralized lead capture from inquiries, forms, and manual sales inputs.

Main Challenge

Leads were scattered across sources, which slowed assignment and follow-up tracking.

Project Focus

Automate lead routing, follow-up reminders, status tracking, and sales reporting.

Expected Outcome

Better lead visibility, faster response time, and fewer missed opportunities.

The Challenge

Six Operational Gaps That Were Costing QuantusTechnik Sales

Industrial B2B sales runs on timing and context the right rep, with the right information, reaching the right prospect first. QuantusTechnik's manual processes were breaking down at every one of those points.

No Single Lead Capture System

Enquiries from multiple channels had no shared format prospects were logged twice or missed entirely.

Follow-Ups by Memory

Reps used personal reminders to track follow-ups qualified leads were forgotten when workloads peaked.

No Visibility Into the Pipeline

Managers had no view of active or overdue prospects problems only surfaced after deals were already lost.

Leads Routed to the Wrong Rep

Enquiries were assigned by availability, not expertise response quality varied and specialists were underused.

No Campaign Attribution Data

Enquiries couldn't be linked to campaigns budget decisions were made without knowing what drove pipeline.

Sales Received Leads Cold

Handoffs had no source history or prior interactions reps started every conversation without context.

Solution Overview

From Scattered Enquiries to a Structured Sales Automation System in Four Phases

Before building a single workflow, SDLC Corp mapped how QuantusTechnik's prospects move from first contact to purchase decision then built the automation around that reality.

1

Audit All Lead Entry Points

Every inbound channel reviewed forms, landing pages, trade sign-ups to map where data was lost and delays started.

2

Map the B2B Buyer Journey

Each stage awareness, shortlisting, technical evaluation, decision mapped to design communication that matched where the buyer actually was.

3

Build and Connect the Workflows

Eight types configured and linked: capture, scoring, routing, nurturing, follow-up alerts, re-engagement, attribution, and sales handoff.

4

Test Against Real Scenarios, Then Go Live

Validated using actual enquiry types edge cases included before going live across all channels.

Key Features

Nine Automation Capabilities Built for Industrial B2B Lead Management

Each capability fixes a specific breakdown, from the moment a prospect submits an enquiry to the point a rep starts with full context.

Automated Lead Capture

All channels feed one standardised record. No manual entry, no duplicates, and no lost data.

Rules-Based Lead Routing

Leads are assigned by product, segment, and geography, so the right specialist gets every enquiry.

Long-Cycle Nurture Sequences

Prospects receive content based on their actual stage, not a generic drip schedule.

Automated Follow-Up Triggers

Reminders fire when follow-ups are due or overdue, so reps do not track ageing manually.

Campaign Attribution Tracking

Every enquiry links to its source campaign, so leadership sees what spend drives pipeline.

Structured Sales Handoff

Reps receive source, interest, and history with every lead. They start informed, not cold.

Segmented Journey Paths

Five paths cover new, warm, quotation, inactive, and existing contacts with separate logic.

Pipeline Visibility Dashboard

Prospects Reach the Right Rep Faster

Routing rules replaced manual assignment. Enquiries land with the right specialist within minutes, not hours depending on who checked their inbox first.

No Qualified Lead Gets Forgotten

Ageing alerts fire before a follow-up goes overdue. The system tracks every open enquiry, so the sales team does not have to.

Long-Cycle Prospects Stay Warm

Stage-based sequences keep prospects engaged throughout months-long evaluations without relying on the sales team to remember who to contact and when.

Marketing Budget Tied to Real Pipeline

Every enquiry is tagged to the campaign that generated it. Leadership sees what spend is producing prospects, not just impressions.

Sales Starts Every Conversation Informed

Handoffs include source, product interest, and prior interactions. Reps no longer ask prospects to repeat themselves.

Built to Grow Without Rebuilding

New product lines, campaigns, and territories plug into the existing workflow structure. No rebuild is needed as the operation scales.
