Lead Auto-Assignment by Territory
Automatically assign new leads to sales reps based on territory, account fit, and workload balance
Salesforce integration that routes leads to the right rep based on geography, industry, company size, and current workload. Faster qualification, fairer distribution.
You define territories in Salesforce (e.g., 'Northeast', 'West Coast', 'EMEA') and assign reps. You also define lead fit criteria (e.g., 'SaaS companies, 50–500 employees, >$10M revenue'). When a new lead arrives, Nora matches it to a territory, checks fit, and assigns to the rep in that territory with the lowest open lead count. Example: Lead arrives from 'Acme SaaS, Boston, $50M revenue, 200 employees'. Territory match: Northeast. Fit check: Yes (SaaS, right size and revenue). Current rep workload: Sarah (8 open), John (6 open, currently on PTO). Assignment: John. Email: '[Acme SaaS intro], Boston-based, 200-person SaaS company'. This eliminates bottlenecks—hot leads don't sit in a queue waiting for a rep. It's also fairer—workload is balanced, not based on 'whoever checks email first'. Reps get leads faster, reducing response time from 2–4 hours to <30 minutes, which improves conversion. You can override assignments manually if a rep requests a specific lead (conflict of interest, etc.), and Nora learns from overrides to improve future matches.
