Integration

Santogal knows its best sales agents.

Lead Assign’s agent scoring capabilities have allowed Santogal to identify and reward top users on the platform. The faster an agent accepts, the more likely they are to close that deal. By assigning points for not only leads which are accepted in a timely manner, but leads which are declined as well, Santogal is encouraging faster lead distribution.

Declining a lead supports this model as well, encouraging agents to act as team players and not let leads sit idle unnecessarily.  The higher an agent’s score, the more likely they are to receive quality leads. Ultimately, having good leads, handled instantly by the best possible agent is what has led to Santogal’s continued success with the Lead Assign platform.
