How to Automate Lead Management for Higher Conversion

If it takes more than a week to launch, it’s not your first AI workflow. Don’t kick off a “big AI initiative.” Start with small, shippable wins and stack them. Three lanes to keep you sane: 1) Easy wins (60–90 minutes) → Form spam triage + proper routing → Waterfall lead enrichment into the CRM → Daily campaign digest to your inbox 2) Experiments (plug AI into what already works) → Classify inbound intent and trigger the next step → Automatic sales-call prep briefs sent to Slack → Press-mention monitoring with sentiment + alerts 3) Rethink the work (after you’ve earned trust) → Deal-desk approvals in Slack with clear ownership → Transcript → tasks → CRM updates (closed loop) → Closed-won signals to Slack with context for CS & Finance Build rules, then add AI: → Default to deterministic steps; use AI for extract / summarize / classify / write inside the workflow → Define the trigger, the “definition of done,” fields to update, and the owner → Ship weekly → review what moved a metric → keep what works, cut what doesn’t Month-one plan: Week 1: Form triage + routing; auto-enrichment Week 2: Call-prep briefs; meeting summary → tasks Week 3: Signal-based follow-up on high-intent actions Week 4: Deal-desk flow; closed-won → Slack with context Not flashy. Just consistent. Do this for 30–60 days and “AI in RevOps” stops being a project—it becomes how your system works. — 🔔 Follow Nathan Weill for no-fluff posts on automation, RevOps, and systems that actually ship. #RevOps #Automation #AI #GTM #SalesOps #MarketingOps #WorkflowDesign

How are we adding $1M in sales per month to Lyzr's deal flow? 🚀 If you are a B2B sales leader, this practical 'how we do it' guide might help you. 👉 This works well if you have a PMF - Product Market Fit, even if its early. Focus 1: Stop leakage of inbound leads 🛑 It is super important to stop the leakage of leads that come your way. This includes prospects who want to book a demo, website visitors, e-book downloads, and so on. Here is the recommended stack 👇 RB2B - to get the profiles of your website visitors. This helps how your potential customers interact with your website assets. We converted 2 deals just by writing to the website visitors, and it talks with a Fortune 500 one. Lyzr AI Chat - to interact with visitors and understand what's in their minds. While AI chatbots not only act as lead generation or customer support agents, they also help you unearth some key customer pain points. But how to get more inbound leads? Get your SEO game in shape. Surfer SEO is a great recent tool that we love. Most of the blog posts written by humans at Lyzr and Skott - the AI marketer, are optimized for SEO by Surfer SEO. Skott (AI Marketer) - Skott takes away a huge load from our content team by writing highly researched and well-planned blog posts and PR articles. The adoption of Stanford's 'Perspective QA' algorithm improved Skott's research capabilities by 100x. (https://www.lyzr.ai/skott) Focus 2: Automate Inbound & Outbound 🤖 While I recommend that you personally write to the inbound leads and nudge them toward a demo call or a product purchase, agent-led sales automation is pretty much the way to go to ensure that you keep the leads warm and eventually convert them. Here is how we do it at Lyzr 👇 Clay - Be it the inbound or the outbound list, use Clay to enrich your contacts. This saves a lot of time as you can reach out to your ICP and not spend time on unqualified leads. Our agency partners love Clay+Jazon combo. Jazon (AI SDR) - Activate Jazon for outbound and inbound. Just add your list of leads, Jazon does the following autonomously - research the leads, write personalized emails or text, followup with leads, answer queries and book demo calls. (https://www.lyzr.ai/jazon/) Additional Focus 📢 In addition to the above 'must-do' sales processes, the following tracks also help (about 20%) Lyzr bring in leads. Paid Ads - We tried everything, and we can safely say Google Ads are still the best in the game. Our ads budget is <$5K per month as the organic efforts (listed above) do the heavy lifting for us. Social Media - I must admit that we aren't good at this yet. I believe the critical mass is about 100K followers to get social media channels working for you. As the organic impressions on your post could run in millions. Well, there you go. That's what we do at Lyzr to add $1M in sales, every month. And we are just getting started.
