SalesFlow Inc. provides B2B sales automation solutions to enterprise clients across North America and Europe. With a high-volume lead generation model, they struggled with poor lead quality, with 28% of leads having invalid phone numbers and sales reps wasting valuable time on unqualified prospects.

The Challenge: Poor Lead Quality Wasting Sales Resources

Critical Lead Generation Issues:

  • $180K monthly wasted on sales reps calling invalid phone numbers
  • 45-day average sales cycle due to poor lead qualification
  • 2.1% conversion rate from lead to qualified opportunity
  • 68% sales rep turnover due to frustration with poor leads

Lead Quality Problems Identified:

Invalid Contact Data

28% of leads had disconnected, fake, or invalid phone numbers, resulting in wasted sales time and poor conversion rates.

No Lead Scoring

All leads were treated equally, with no differentiation between high-value prospects and low-quality submissions.

The Solution: Intelligent Lead Validation & Scoring System

SalesFlow implemented Phone-Check.app's advanced phone validation API combined with a custom lead scoring system to automatically validate leads, assign quality scores, and prioritize high-value prospects for the sales team.

Implementation Strategy:

1. Real-Time Lead Validation

Instant phone validation during lead submission to filter out invalid contacts:

POST /api/v1/validate
{ "phone": "+1234567890", "country": "US" }
↓
{ "valid": true, "line_type": "mobile", "carrier": "Verizon" }

2. Multi-Factor Lead Scoring

Comprehensive lead scoring based on phone intelligence and business signals:

Mobile Numbers
+15 points
Business Carriers
+20 points
VoIP/Virtual
-10 points

3. Dynamic Lead Routing

Intelligent lead distribution based on quality scores and geographic optimization:

  • • Score 80-100: Immediate routing to senior sales reps
  • • Score 60-79: Standard sales team assignment
  • • Score 40-59: Email nurturing campaign
  • • Score <40: Automatic disqualification
