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
