Seriously. Just think about how businesses – your company, our company – depend on the most popular, cloud-based CRM in the B2B industry. Salesforce is the foundation upon which data-driven sales teams are built. There’s a reason why Sales Operations practitioners often preach: If it’s not in Salesforce, it doesn’t exist. Salesforce is the single source of truth for businesses to manage all of their precious data.
But Salesforce also can present some challenges for users. In fact, one gap in the CRM’s architecture can be particularly difficult to navigate.
That artificial boundary between leads and accounts in the Salesforce database makes it a challenge to connect all of the dots in complex sales cycles. In fact, it’s likely hurting your bottom line – and you might not even know it. That’s because delegating manual tasks like assigning leads to busy sales reps is a recipe for costly errors.

There is no natural connection between leads (people) and accounts (companies).
This is a problem every business faces – especially ones adopting account-based strategies.
Sales and marketing teams need 360-degree visibility into all of the activities within high-value, target accounts.
Fortunately, there is a better way to manage leads and help your business extract even more value from Salesforce. LeanData’s fuzzy matching algorithm and first-of-its-kind routing Flow Builder interface gives organizations the ability to automate their entire lead management process.
With matched data, sales reps aren’t bogged down with tedious tasks and marketers can prove the effectiveness of their campaigns with accurate reporting. And because LeanData is a member of the Salesforce AppExchange, data is managed entirely within the CRM’s safe and secure ecosystem.

Account-based sales and marketing strategies are all the rage. But you can’t do Account-Based Marketing, Account-Based Sales Development or Account-Based Anything if you don’t know what leads match into accounts. But Salesforce assignment rules make that incredibly difficult.
LeanData’s algorithm overcomes the gap in Salesforce by creating a bridge between leads and the corresponding contacts and accounts. It looks beneath the surface and creates a match based on multiple fields in Salesforce. Even leads with emails domains such as Gmail and Yahoo, or different company name variations, can be matched.
Fuzzy matching reveals unseen relationships within an organization’s Salesforce database. Lead-to-account matching is only the start of the functionality available because LeanData’s high-fidelity matches enable organizations to get really creative.

Marketing invests heavily in Demand Generation efforts. But all too often those valuable leads don’t end up in the hands of the correct sales team member. That's a waste of time, money and effort.
Out-of-the box Salesforce assignment rules consist of unwieldy if-then statements that grow even more cumbersome as organizations scale. But LeanData’s visual, drag-and-drop interface gives businesses the ability to construct lead flows in an intuitive manner. Easily make changes, in real-time, as business needs evolve.
Leads never fall through the cracks or gather dust in default queues. They all are routed based on rules you design. Net-new leads go to the front-line Sales Development Reps. Leads matching to open opportunities go to the owners handling those accounts. Existing customers go to the Customer Success team. No lead is ever left behind.

Proving impact is a constant source of frustration for marketers. Research firm SiriusDecisions has determined that only 48 percent of B2B marketing organizations regularly measure marketing influenced pipeline. Part of the reason is that divide between leads and accounts makes it nearly impossible to accurately report campaign influence.
LeanData’s Marketing Touch object creates a link between previously unconnected objects within Salesforce. This ability to tie together all campaign members (including relevant leads and contacts) to opportunities allows marketers to show they are maximizing the value of every dollar spent on Demand Generation.
A customizable campaign influence wizard gives businesses the flexibility to crunch data in ways that make the most sense for them.
