Fix Routing

Lead routing design and repair for CRM and revenue systems.

Fix Routing

Broken lead routing is one of the most expensive problems in B2B — hot leads go cold because they're assigned to the wrong rep, sitting in the wrong queue, or lost between marketing and sales.

I fix it.


The Problem

Routing failures follow predictable patterns:

  • Round-robin that ignores territory — leads from your best accounts get assigned to whoever's next in the queue, not the rep who owns the relationship
  • MQL → SQL handoff gaps — marketing passes leads that sales never picks up, or sales rejects leads that marketing counted as qualified
  • No fallback logic — when reps are on holiday, leads sit unassigned for days
  • Routing rules nobody understands — a tangle of if/then conditions built over years, with no documentation and conflicting triggers

The cost isn't abstract. Every hour a qualified lead sits unworked, conversion probability drops. Every misrouted lead damages rep trust in the system.


How I Approach This

1. Map Current Routing

I document every routing rule, assignment trigger, and queue in your system. I identify which rules conflict, which are redundant, and which are missing.

2. Define Routing Logic

Using predicate-based qualification (not arbitrary score thresholds), I design routing rules that reflect your actual sales motion — territory, account ownership, deal size, product interest, and rep capacity.

3. Build Fallback Chains

Every primary assignment needs a fallback. I build escalation paths, SLA timers, and re-assignment triggers so no lead goes unworked.

4. Test and Monitor

Before going live, I run the new routing logic against historical data to validate accuracy. After launch, I set up monitoring dashboards to catch routing failures in real time.
