Our client is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping underprivileged families by providing literacy education and career development programs. They are committed to improving the lives of disadvantaged students by offering a variety of educational resources, from tutoring to job training, designed to create long-term change.
The client was struggling with manual lead data entry from multiple sources, which led to fragmented data and inefficient workflows. They also needed a way to send contracts electronically, as the manual contract signing process was time-consuming and prone to errors. Their goal was to automate these processes to improve efficiency and speed up lead conversion.
We integrated DocuSign with Salesforce to enable automated contract sending and signing, eliminating the manual effort of managing and sending contracts. Additionally, we created a framework to capture leads directly from various sources and categorize them into specific types (students, apprentices, and employers) for more efficient management. This allowed the client to streamline their lead management and contract conversion processes, saving both time and resources.
- The client was receiving leads from multiple channels, which resulted in numerous spreadsheets that needed to be manually maintained. This led to fragmentation of data, making it difficult to track and manage leads effectively.
- The process of sending contracts manually to leads for conversion was both time-consuming and prone to errors, leading to delays and inaccuracies in lead conversion.
- The client struggled to categorize and track the status of leads efficiently. Leads were not segmented properly into types (students, apprentices, or employers), which created confusion and difficulty in managing them.
- We integrated DocuSign with Salesforce, enabling the client to send, track, and obtain electronic signatures for contracts directly from Salesforce. This eliminated the need for manual contract processing, reducing errors and accelerating the lead conversion process.
- We implemented the Web-to-Lead feature, capturing leads directly from the client’s website and other external sources. These leads were automatically entered into Salesforce, eliminating the manual process of inputting data from Excel spreadsheets.
- We created a framework to categorize leads into three distinct record types: students, apprentices, and employers. This segmentation allowed the client to manage and prioritize leads based on their specific categories, improving lead organization and tracking.
- We developed a flow to automate the process of sending contracts based on complex business scenarios. This flow ensured that contracts were sent quickly and accurately, reducing delays and streamlining the contract signing process.
