Lead Disqualification & Campaign Automation
INTRODUCTION
To improve the efficiency of Sales Development Representatives (SDRs) and maintain high campaign hygiene, we implemented an automated lead disqualification process integrated with the Five9 dialer platform. The objective was to instantly remove unqualified leads based on predefined disposition logic, streamline exception handling for web leads, and provide end-to-end visibility through logging and audit trails. This solution ensures SDRs spend time only on quality leads, enhancing productivity while maintaining a clean, real-time lead pipeline.
PROBLEM
Manual Disqualification
Manual disqualification resulted in SDRs wasting time on dead leads.
Dialer Sync Issues
Dialer (Five9) lists were not automatically synced with Salesforce status.
Complex Web Leads
Complex web leads that were manually assigned needed exception handling.
Follow-Ups to Ineligible Leads
Leads who had already purchased or opted out still received follow-ups.
Campaign Clutter
Campaigns were cluttered with low-quality or opted-out leads.
SOLUTION
Lead-Based Automation
- A rules-driven trigger was implemented to monitor key lead fields.
- Automatically updates lead status to Disqualified, Nurture, or Follow-Up.
- Removes disqualified leads from active campaigns.
- Adds relevant leads to nurture campaigns.
- Captures and logs the reason for disqualification or rerouting.
Dialer Integration with Five9
- Automatically notifies Five9 to remove leads when certain conditions are met.
- Ensures leads marked as "Do Not Call" or those exceeding dial limits are promptly dequeued.
- Communication handled seamlessly via middleware integration.
Smart Campaign Management
- Disqualified leads are instantly removed from all sales campaigns.
- Leads in nurturing stages (e.g. "Quote Sent", "Order Pending") are added to dedicated nurture campaigns.
- Prevents duplicate campaign memberships for cleaner tracking.
Web Lead Exception Handling
- Special rules are in place for manually assigned web leads.
- These leads bypass the auto-disqualification logic.
- They are routed to SDRs for manual follow-up without interference from the dialer system.
