For example, if you’re a salesperson and have a list of prospects in your CRM that need follow-up calls, ConvergeHub will automatically add these contacts to an automated dialer task that schedules those calls for the following week. If a lead hasn’t responded after two weeks and was marked as “prospect,” ConvergeHub will automatically send out a system-generated email reminding them about their opportunity or product offering.

Artificial Intelligence also enables ConvergeHub users to send out emails to customers who have been inactive for a period of time, so you don’t lose contact with them. 

For example, if your CRM is connected to an email marketing platform like MailChimp, a CRM tool will automatically send out a welcome email upon signup that explains how the system works and encourages users to connect their social media accounts or import contacts from their existing email account.

Prioritize Lead Management

Lead scoring is a method of prioritizing the time you spend on each lead, based on their likelihood to become customers. As soon as your leads convert into paying customers, they are prioritized accordingly in your CRM system.

This is specifically helpful for businesses that have a potential customer base but are dispersed across multiple sales teams or departments within a company. It also helps companies dealing with multilevel sales processes and have different priorities based on how soon they are to close deals.

A Harvard Business Review article titled ‘How AI is Changing Sales’ states that AI algorithms can instantly impact five core areas of sales– forecasting, price optimization, upselling & cross-selling, lead scoring, and performance management. When Artificial Intelligence supports Customer Relationships, both can provide comprehensive information on all these parameters and result in a higher number of closes.
