Reviving Abandoned Sales Journeys with Automated CPQ Intervention
Client Overview
A B2B services provider catering to regional businesses requiring tailored logistics and pricing based on service zones.
Business Challenge
A significant percentage of potential customers dropped off mid-way through the onboarding journey. The business lacked visibility and structure to re-engage these leads or convert them through a guided sales process.
Solution Implementation in Salesforce
We implemented an abandonment-aware sales intervention flow on Salesforce CPQ:
1. Abandonment Triggers Defined
- Leads that didn’t create locations or confirm pricing within a defined timeframe were flagged.
- Multiple abandonment stages were handled with custom logic and batch monitoring.
2. Dynamic Product Configuration via Cart APIs
- Abandoned leads were automatically converted to Account, Contact, and Opportunity.
- Assigned to sales reps via round-robin queues.
3. Guided Sales & Onboarding Journey
- Opportunities launched a CPQ journey.
- Sales reps used pre-populated data (locations, cash volume) to generate quotes with line items grouped per region.
Business Impact
- Reduced cold lead drop-off rate by 30%
- Increased quote generation from previously inactive leads
- Provided sales teams with ready-made Opportunities and quote templates
- Enabled real-time re-engagement with leads via automated notifications
Future Enhancements
- Predictive alerts for likely-to-abandon users
- CPQ quote recommendations based on industry and zone
- Integrated email nudges for unconverted leads
