Lead distribution software

Get the right leads to the right salesperson

Lead distribution software automatically assigns new sales leads and prospects to a person or team on your sales force. This lead management automation allows you to assign leads to the right people according to a set of predefined rules.

These rules depend on business needs – for example, people or teams can be assigned leads based on their location, skillset, expertise or product knowledge.

Getting the right lead or deal to the right rep is essential to sales success. A short response time and personalized follow-ups streamline the sales process, leading to more deals closed and greater customer satisfaction.

Pipedrive’s automatic assignment algorithm automates lead distribution, so sales reps can follow up faster and increase conversion.

14-day trial. Zero cost. Full access. No credit card required.

  • Better sales structure: Organize sales teams to make them more efficient and ensure opportunities are distributed in a fair and unbiased manner.

  • Improve resource utilization: Ensure the right people are working on the right opportunities, saving time and increasing your chances of winning.

  • Save time on manual and repetitive tasks: Use automatic assignment to manage your reps’ workloads and reduce human error.

Pipedrive’s sales team uses automatic assignment to manage new leads

With automatic assignment in place, new leads are routed to Pipedrive’s sales reps in seconds rather than minutes.

The team combines the lead routing feature with our other Automations tools to shorten the gap between when a customer signs up and when they hear from us.

The Automations feature was a great help, and we had unique variables to automatically assign a deal to one specific user or users within a team, but it wasn’t all automated.
If you’re looking to scale your sales team, you definitely need automatic assignment.
