Company Description & Services
We create the best agencies to serve our clients.
Challenge
1. Manual Communication Processes:
Sales representatives were manually sending emails and SMS updates to leads at various pipeline stages. This consumed valuable time and introduced inconsistencies in follow-up messaging.
2. Lack of Automated Triggers Based on Pipeline Movement:
The client needed a way to automatically engage leads with tailored messages as they moved through specific stages—such as inquiry, qualification, offer, and closure.
3. Need for Scalable and Professional Client Communication:
Stonks Group required a system that would ensure timely, professional, and stage-relevant communication without increasing the operational load on their team.
Solution
Borders & Gates collaborated with Stonks Group to automate their customer communications within Zoho CRM:
1. CRM Pipeline Review and Strategy Design:
Borders & Gates began by analyzing the client’s existing pipeline stages and identifying key moments for client communication. This formed the foundation for designing targeted automation.
2. Email and SMS Workflow Automation:
Custom workflows were developed in Zoho CRM to automatically trigger emails and SMS messages when leads transitioned between pipeline stages. Each message was carefully aligned with the lead's current stage to ensure relevance and impact.
3. Integration with SMS Gateways and Email Templates:
Borders & Gates supported the setup of third-party SMS services and configured branded email templates for consistent tone and design. All communications were centralized within Zoho CRM to ensure full visibility and tracking.
4. Testing, Optimization & Handoff:
After implementation, all automation flows were thoroughly tested to ensure accuracy and responsiveness. The client received a full walkthrough of how to monitor, edit, and expand their workflows independently.
