Fortune 500 manufacturer achieves 32% lead conversion rate increase by bringing inside sales in-house with Groove
The company's outsourced inside sales vendor was creating unqualified leads to meet quota numbers and sending identical, non-personalized messages to all prospects regardless of industry or lead source, generating serious quality control issues.
Three platforms evaluated as alternatives fell short: Salesforce Engage was too lightweight, and the other two leading providers required excessive IT implementation time and had UIs too complex for rep adoption.
Within a month of implementation, the company saw a 32% increase in conversion rate for leads processed through the new Groove-based inside sales process versus the previous outsourced provider, with Groove implemented in weeks rather than months.
