15 hours saved weekly

Sales Admin Time

The sales team stops manually sorting through enquiries that fall below MOQ thresholds or require capabilities the factory does not have, freeing time for relationship building.

The Challenge

Common lead qualification automation challenges facing manufacturing businesses.

Sales engineers spend days preparing detailed quotes for enquiries that turn out to be below your minimum order quantity or outside your production capabilities entirely.

Trade show leads are collected on paper or scanned business cards and often sit uncontacted for weeks, by which time the buyer has engaged a competitor.

No systematic way to assess whether an RFQ aligns with current production capacity and scheduling, leading to over-commitment and missed delivery dates.

Repeat customers with established specifications submit new orders that are treated like fresh enquiries, creating unnecessary rework and frustrating loyal buyers.

Implementation

How we implement lead qualification automation for your manufacturing business.

Capture Procurement Enquiries

RFQs, sample requests, and specification enquiries from potential buyers are captured from email, website forms, and trade show leads into a unified pipeline.

✓ Tools: Make, Typeform, HubSpot

Score by Production Fit

Each enquiry is scored against your production capabilities, minimum order quantities, material specifications, and margin thresholds. Custom tooling requirements and lead time expectations are factored in.

✓ Tools: Make, Airtable, Google Sheets

Route to Sales Engineer

Qualified RFQs are assigned to the appropriate sales engineer based on product category expertise and current quoting workload. Technical specifications are pre-extracted and attached.

✓ Tools: Make, DEAR Inventory, Slack

Manage Non-Qualified Enquiries

Enquiries below MOQ thresholds or outside production capabilities receive a professional response with alternative supplier recommendations where appropriate. Promising future prospects are tagged for follow-up.

✓ Tools: Make, Mailchimp, Google Docs
