If you want to increase conversion, tools like **HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, and Jestor** are fundamental — the choice depends on whether you need a standard CRM or automation that redistributes leads if SLA is not met.

### **Cold leads don't buy**

Studies show that answering a lead in 5 minutes drastically increases the chance of a sale. The SLA between Marketing (generating the lead) and Sales (contacting the lead) is vital. If the sales rep takes 24h, marketing money was wasted.

### **What sales teams are looking to solve (Pain Points)**

- **Leads going cold:** The contact arrives and sits in the rep's inbox.
- **Marketing vs. Sales fight:** Marketing says they sent leads, Sales says they were bad (or didn't see them).
- **Lack of control:** Manager doesn't know how long the team takes to call.
- **Unfair distribution:** Leads landing with reps who are off duty.
