Contexte
Our client is a revolutionary software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform dedicated to employee engagement and digital transformation. By leveraging AI and gamification, they help organizations drive adoption for new digital tools. To support their own rapid growth, the client needed to modernize their internal marketing and sales infrastructure to manage a high volume of global B2B leads.
Défis
The primary objective was to move away from manual lead processing and gain a more scientific understanding of their marketing ROI. The client faced several critical hurdles:
- Lead Qualification Friction: The need to automatically distinguish between “cold” inquiries and high-intent prospects.
- Attribution Gaps: Difficulty tracking the performance of sponsored campaigns across fragmented channels like social media and search engines.
- Sales Inefficiency: A lack of automated nurturing scenarios meant the sales team was spending time on leads that were not yet ready to buy.

We designed a comprehensive digital ecosystem built on the Salesforce platform to unify marketing and sales operations:
- Salesforce Sales Cloud: The core CRM for managing the end-to-end sales pipeline.
