Lead generation template from this community captures contact info perfectly. Form submissions, LinkedIn connections, email captures - working great.
Sales team problem: "We're drowning in unqualified leads."
180 leads monthly. Sales spending 30 minutes per lead on discovery calls. Realizing 60% completely unqualified after call already happened.
108 wasted calls monthly. 54 hours of sales time burned on leads that should never have been passed through.
THE PROBLEM:
Lead gen template optimizes for volume. More leads = better, right?
Sales reality: More unqualified leads = worse. They want 50 qualified leads, not 180 random contacts.
Template captures: Name, email, company, interest indicated.
Sales needs to know: Company size, budget range, decision authority, actual need, timeline, tech stack compatibility.
Gap between captured data and qualification requirements creates sales bottleneck.
THE EXTENSION:
Added intelligent qualification layer between capture and sales routing.
Lead submitted → Company research initiated → Annual revenue estimated → Tech stack identified → Budget range calculated → Decision maker verified → Qualification score assigned → Only qualified leads reach sales.
THE QUALIFICATION PROCESS:
Company domain → LinkedIn analysis → Revenue/employee data → Tech stack check → Funding stage → Qualification scorecard.
Scorecard evaluates: Company size match, budget range, tech compatibility, decision authority, timeline.
Score above 70: Sales immediately. Score 40-69: Nurture. Below 40: Disqualify politely.
THE RESULTS:
180 leads monthly → 72 qualified, 68 nurture, 40 disqualified.
Sales team now gets 72 qualified leads instead of 180 random contacts. Quality over quantity.
Discovery call success: 40% before → 85% after qualification. Sales talking to actually qualified prospects.
Sales time saved: 54 hours monthly (108 unqualified calls eliminated).
Revenue impact: Sales focusing on qualified opportunities closed 30% more deals. Better pipeline quality drives better close rates.
Build time: 2 hours to add qualification intelligence to lead gen template.
ROI: 54 hours sales time monthly + 30% more closed deals from better focus.
SALES FEEDBACK:
"Finally getting leads worth calling. Quality over quantity makes all the difference."
The community lead gen template captures leads excellently. Qualification intelligence makes those leads actually valuable to sales.
