↳ Definition § 01.00 / Manifesto
A simplified example: a customer visits your site and fills out a form. The automation registers them in the CRM, starts an email sequence, sends an SMS notification to the sales team and classifies lead quality. If the customer opens and clicks a link, the 'interested' marker is automatically updated.

Lead Scoring and Workflows

Lead scoring is a points system that determines whether a lead is 'hot' (ready for sales) or 'warm.' For example: visited the site 3 times (+10 points), opened an email (+5), clicked on pricing (+20). When the score reaches 80 points, the sales team receives a notification.

Average setup takes 3-4 weeks, including planning, CRM configuration, workflow development and testing. More complex projects with multiple integrations can take up to 6 weeks.

Q · 05What are the most popular automations businesses implement first?+
The most popular are: lead scoring (automatic qualification of potential customers by behavior), welcome sequence (5 emails over 14 days for new contacts), sales notifications (automatic alerts to the team when a customer reaches a certain engagement level) and post-purchase flows. Together, these can increase sales efficiency by 25-35%.
