New low-code and no-code (LC/NC) tools make it possible to quickly create custom apps designed to tackle the unique challenges of your business. If you haven’t seen these tools in action, it can be difficult to fully understand the time and cost savings they provide. The example below shows what’s possible for one challenge in a sales organization, and you can see additional examples from a variety of industries. If you’d like to explore how these tools can help with your specific business, please share one of your own challenges below.
Challenge
A sales team uses a lead tracking system (e.g. Pipedrive) to manage qualified leads. They’ve contracted external workers to prospect for new leads, but lead quality varies significantly. To avoid cluttering the lead system, contractors enter leads into a shared spreadsheet (e.g. Google Sheets) for review. Unfortunately, some contractors consistently enter information in the wrong columns, forcing the sales team to spend extra time cleaning up data. Moreover, it’s hard to track who is submitting high-quality leads, and the process feels like it’s costing more time than it’s saving.
Solution
A low-code/no-code app replaces the shared spreadsheet with a form the contractors can use to enter leads. The app enforces proper data entry through validation rules, ensuring all required fields are correctly filled out. Additionally, AI-powered checks help ensure the accuracy of data (e.g., matching phone numbers to country codes). The sales team reviews incoming leads on a dashboard, with clear options to accept or reject leads. Accepted leads are automatically added to the lead tracking system, and rejected leads are simply deleted. A reporting feature tracks performance, showing how many leads each contractor submits, along with acceptance and rejection rates.
Benefits
By implementing this solution, the sales team completely eliminates the manual data cleanup. They can now easily identify which contractors consistently provide high-quality leads, allowing them to funnel more work to those contractors while replacing the underperforming ones. This improved process leads to a 30% increase in qualified leads, which directly boosts sales revenue, while saving an estimated 10 hours per week on manual lead processing tasks.
