Vendasta recovered $1M in missed pipeline with Zapier automation and AI
Lead enrichment was fully manual and slow, with reps gathering data from multiple sources by hand, delaying sales and causing errors that hurt close rates. Sales reps also lost significant time revisiting call transcripts, logging notes, and crafting emails manually. SDRs collectively lost 282 working days per year to admin tasks, costing over $1M in missed pipeline.
