The Challenges
Working with over 2000+ D2C Shopify storefronts, the primary focus for BiteSpeed is to help their customers drive deeper engagement and accelerate revenue through conversational channels.
As they looked to scale operations, BiteSpeed had to put in extra effort to reduce delays in landing booked meetings with their prospects as well as decrease the drop-off rate. Though they were fuelled by their best-planned campaigns with multiple touchpoints across the customer’s journey, they kept hitting a roadblock.
On one side, booking meetings with qualified prospects with the hassle of multiple emails was counter-productive and slowed down the sales cycle due to its repetitiveness and time-consuming nature. On the other hand, AEs had their calendars filled with too many junk leads and dead ends which consumed a significant amount of time and effort. This meant that the likelihood of the lead losing interest and not following through was high as was the potential to harm the revenue pipeline.
BiteSpeed was looking to boost efficiency for its inbound conversion by streamlining its lead-routing and resource allocation processes.
The Solutions
Vikash Koushik, who leads marketing at BiteSpeed, evaluated RevenueHero, an inbound revenue acceleration platform that handles instant meeting scheduling and lead routing of all complexity levels for B2B revenue teams. It seamlessly integrates with the existing lead capture form to qualify prospects and instantly schedule meetings with the right sales rep in real-time.
The RevenueHero team worked closely with BiteSpeed from day 1 to help them truly unleash the potential of the product. Together they came up with 4 key strategies:
- Set up the instant scheduling and account matching capabilities of RevenueHero to qualify and distribute leads and meetings.
- Automate workflows to put lead distribution amongst the sales team on auto-pilot, no matter how complex.
- Make a simple addition to the web form to match the intent and qualify the lead. This would help bring down the volume of junk leads to a bare minimum.
- Route meetings from target accounts and named accounts to the right owners based on custom property on the CRM.
Once the strategy and platform were implemented, RevenueHero helped the BiteSpeed team get familiar with the platform in order to maximize success.
"RevenueHero is easy to use and solves a critical problem for sales and marketing teams - giving a fast lane from qualified leads to the sales team. The team has been very supportive from the start and helped in the seamless onboarding and efficiently resolving the teething challenges. The bonus is their favorable pricing model which perfectly matched our needs."
