The Challenge
The company's lead distribution process was manual and inefficient. Leads were collected by phone calls and then the operator had to manually enter the lead information into a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet was then used to distribute the leads to third-party agents by mail. This process was time-consuming and error-prone.
Additionally, the company wanted to manage administrator activity in Excel. This included tracking agent details, lead packages, Operator details, which operator work was assigned to which agent and how many leads were sent to each agent. This was also a manual process that was prone to errors.
THE COMPANY FACED THE FOLLOWING CHALLENGES
Manual Lead Distribution Process
The manual lead distribution process was time-consuming and error-prone. It was also difficult to track the status of leads and ensure that they were distributed to the right agents.
Manual Administrator Activity Tracking
The manual administrator activity tracking process was also time-consuming and error-prone. It was difficult to keep track of all the different data points that needed to be tracked and it was easy to make mistakes.
Lack of Data Integration
The company's systems were not integrated, which made it difficult to share data between different departments. This made it difficult to get a complete picture of
the lead distribution process and to identify areas for improvement. The company needed a solution that would automate the lead distribution process, improve the accuracy of administrator activity tracking and integrate the company's systems.
