  • Bottleneck 1: Leads Assigned to the Wrong Rep

  • Want to Find the Bottlenecks Hiding in Your Funnel?

Here’s the truth:
You don’t need more leads—you need more from the ones you already have. And chances are, three silent killers are slowing your conversions.

These bottlenecks don’t show up in your dashboards—but predictive AI can spot and fix them in days.

Bottleneck 1: Leads Assigned to the Wrong Rep

Most routing logic is based on outdated rules: rotation, geography, or seniority. But those don’t account for rep strengths, timing, or lead type fit.

Predictive fix: ProPair’s MATCH score routes each lead to the rep most likely to convert—based on actual historical performance.

Bottleneck 2: No Follow-Up Prioritization

Reps waste hours chasing low-intent leads while high-conversion opportunities sit untouched in their queue.

Predictive fix: The SCORE value ranks leads by follow-up urgency—so reps work what matters first.

Bottleneck 3: No Visibility Into Lead Quality

Leads look the same in your CRM. But they’re not. Without a conversion probability tied to each one, your team is flying blind.

Predictive fix: ProPair’s RANK score shows which leads are actually likely to close—so teams stop guessing and start executing.

Small Shifts, Big Wins

Teams using ProPair to fix these 3 bottlenecks see:

  • +20–40% increase in close rates
  • +31% improvement in demo-to-close ratios
  • Fewer manual escalations and reroutes
  • More efficient rep activity, clearer forecasting, and cleaner CRMs

These aren’t small optimizations. They’re high-leverage shifts.
