Overview

A leading NJ-based medical device design and development company partnered with LW&H Workflow Strategies to streamline Salesforce workflows, qualify leads, and create cohesive sales and marketing processes. By integrating systems and optimizing automation, LW&H Workflow Strategies enhanced lead management and empowered sales teams with actionable data.

Challenge

The client’s sales and marketing teams were operating in silos, using Salesforce for CRM and Mailchimp for email marketing. Without integration, they faced inefficiencies such as duplicate contacts, poor segmentation, and missed lead opportunities. Although Mailchimp housed over 22,000 leads, they were unqualified and lumped together, making it challenging for the sales team to identify opportunities. Salesforce lists were also unaligned with marketing efforts, limiting the client’s ability to streamline workflows and drive growth.

Taking Action

LW&H Workflow Strategies began by analyzing the client’s existing Salesforce setup and partnering with the client’s marketing agency to evaluate their existing tools to uncover inefficiencies. The team integrated Salesforce and Mailchimp, enabling seamless communication between systems.

The marketing agency devised an innovative strategy to qualify Mailchimp’s database by sending a targeted newsletter with engaging, clickable content. This approach segmented leads based on interest, feeding qualified prospects directly into Salesforce. LW&H Workflow Strategies used lead scoring methodologies to prioritize the actions of the sales team. These insights informed the sales team’s follow-up strategy and supported a more strategic, highly segmented email marketing campaign.

Results

The newsletter campaign led to:

  • 4,794 opens
  • 1,144 clicks
  • 1,535 warm leads pushed into Salesforce

To prioritize this influx of leads, LW&H Workflow Strategies launched automated segmentation, automatic replies, automated follow-up tasks, and lead scoring to identify the most sales-ready prospects. The result? A sales team equipped with high-quality leads, reduced sales cycles, and a more efficient path to closing deals.

Today, the client enjoys a streamlined Salesforce system, improved collaboration across teams, and data-driven processes that directly support growth and ROI.
