We spoke with Anthony Renzulli, Director of Sales Operations and Lead Qualification at NS8 Inc., to learn about his team’s experience using ScanBizCards Enterprise Edition for Salesforce.
NS8 Needed an Efficient Way to Capture Leads
NS8 faced a challenge with accurately capturing and exporting leads collected from business cards. Majority of contacts from business cards collected in the field failed to make it into their CRM (Salesforce) and marketing automation system (Marketo). Manually entering data into spreadsheets was time-consuming and prone to errors. In addition to that, collating data from different teams was a real challenge. As such, a large number of business cards collected in the field ended up getting lost or discarded, which meant lost sales opportunities
The Practice of Manually Capturing & Exporting Leads was Prone to Errors and Delays
NS8 team uses Salesforce CRM for lead management and Marketo for Marketing Automation. The leads from business cards needed to be:
- Captured accurately and quickly
- Exported to the CRM and marketing automation system
In the absence of an automated system, collecting contact information from business cards, and keeping a track of all the leads collected by different representatives presented a big challenge. The teams were collecting leads at events and meetings but there was no efficient way to capture the data from business cards in a timely and accurate manner and make it available to the lead owners in the CRM system.
ScanBizCards Helped Maximize Sales Productivity
With ScanBizCards, NS8 is able to manage and organize the flow of leads in a highly accurate, timely and efficient manner.
The ScanBizCards Enterprise Edition has helped NS8’s team of 15 sales reps to capture contacts from business cards instantly and accurately. With over 250 leads captured just in the last quarter, ScanBizCards has created over $1 million in potential pipeline value through leads captured accurately by NS8 team.
For Anthony, the Human Transcription service has been a game-changer. “We were using Full Contact. But with the Human Transcription component being very limited with their service, we had to look at alternative ways to export contacts to Salesforce, using a Zapier configuration”, Anthony described.
With features such as Human Transcription service to transcribe cards, direct export to Salesforce CRM, and saving contacts as CSV files to upload directly into marketing automation systems, the flow of leads to the marketing automation system increased by 50X. As a result, the sales teams can focus on their core area of work—making more sales.
