Broadcast New Email Leads via First to Claim Shark Tank

Use the CallAction lead routing to manage your lead distribution of new online generate leads to your sales team via a competitive first to claim model.

How Does Email Broadcast Lead Distribution Work?

Similar to the CallAction call routing broadcast, email leads sent to a lead router campaign email parser will do the following:

  • Extract lead information for email lead (name, phone, email address) via parsing

  • Create a new contact and validate phone number

  • Call all salespeople in your lead distribution queue

  • First agent to answer and press 1 claims lead

  • Optional: if Call Connect is ON, we automatically make the outbound call to the lead

This lead management solution with call connect is more effective than a lead pond or shark tank format as it ensures that your salespeople not only respond within seconds to claim leads but also take action by making the outbound sales call.
