Technology Stack
The Situation
The company was generating inbound leads from Google Ads but had no structured process to respond quickly or nurture leads effectively. Sales reps were handling enquiries manually over email. Win rates were low and management had no data to identify which channels were performing. Pikplix redesigned their entire lead funnel from capture to close using CRM automation, LinkedIn outreach and structured reporting.
Problems Before Pikplix
Slow Lead Response
Leads waited 24 to 48 hours for a response. Most had already contacted competitors by then.
No Lead Nurturing
Leads that did not convert immediately were forgotten. No follow-up sequences in place.
Missing Decision-Makers
Targeting was too broad. Missing CTOs and IT Directors who actually sign contracts.
No Pipeline Data
No idea which stage deals were at or why deals were being lost in the sales process.
High Cost Per Acquisition
Spending heavily on ads without understanding cost per lead or cost per acquisition.
Wasted Ad Budget
Google and LinkedIn campaigns running without conversion tracking or proper optimisation.
Before vs After
From reactive lead handling to a proactive, automated sales engine
- Manual email-based lead handling
- 24 to 48 hour response times
- No CRM or pipeline tracking
- Unqualified leads wasting sales time
- No LinkedIn outreach strategy
- No reporting on marketing ROI
- Automated lead capture and assignment
- Under 5-minute response time
- Full CRM with custom pipeline stages
- Qualified leads only reaching sales
- LinkedIn targeting decision-makers
- Monthly ROI reports by channel
