How does twenty-fold sound? GDT designed and deployed an algorithm that will accomplish in seconds what currently takes the customer’s sales team weeks. Their number of monthly qualified leads will now increase twenty-fold overnight, and GDT is also integrating the leads with Salesforce, the customer’s CRM of choice. Their sales team will now receive thousands of qualified leads each week, all of which will satisfy the customer’s stringent, pre-defined criteria.
