Introduction

From Data Entry Nightmare to Lead Conversion: How IntroCRM Reclaimed Their Sales Focus

In sales, time spent on manual data entry is time not spent closing deals. When Harris Kenny and his team at IntroCRM found themselves trapped in spreadsheets instead of building relationships with prospects, they knew they needed a solution that would transform their approach to lead management.

The Hidden Cost of Manual Processes

IntroCRM helps businesses connect with ideal prospects, but their own internal processes were holding them back from maximizing their potential:

• The tedious process of manually entering each lead individually was consuming hours of valuable time that could have been spent on revenue-generating activities.
• Data entry errors created missed opportunities and follow-up inconsistencies that damaged prospect relationships.
• Without a centralized system, team members lacked visibility into the status of leads and the history of interactions.
• Lead prioritization relied on subjective impressions rather than data-driven insights.
• Most importantly, their manual processes couldn't scale with their growing business, creating a ceiling on their potential growth.

Engineering Efficiency: Building a Custom CRM

We partnered with IntroCRM to create a tailored CRM system that would eliminate manual processes and put their focus back where it belonged, which is building valuable relationships. Our approach leveraged Glide's capabilities to create a solution perfectly matched to their specific workflow.

The custom CRM we developed included a batch upload feature that transformed what had been hours of manual data entry into a simple, minutes-long process. We implemented a lead rating system that helped the team prioritize their efforts based on objective criteria rather than gut feelings.

Contact management capabilities organized prospect information in an easily accessible format, ensuring that team members always had the context they needed for meaningful interactions. The system provided insights into prospect engagement, helping the team identify the most promising opportunities and focus their energy appropriately.

Throughout the development process, we maintained close collaboration with Harris and his team, ensuring that the final product aligned perfectly with their workflow and business needs. The result was a custom application that felt like it was built from the ground up for their specific requirements, because it actually was.
