When "Maybe Later" Costs Real Money
Let's cut through the BS: your sales team's drowning in leads while your legal team's stuck approving 1998-style PDF attachments. Dealfront's handing you golden opportunities, but they're dying in email chains and Slack threads. That's where pairing Dealfront's lead intel with ApproveThis' no-nonsense approvals changes the game.
We're not talking about another "collaboration solution." This is about turning lead alerts into approved action items before your competitor even loads their CRM. For companies scaling between 50-5,000 employees, this combo isn't nice-to-have – it's how you stop leaving money on the table from slow decisions.
Why This Pairing Works Like Whiskey and Ice
Dealfront's the scout – it tells you who's looking at your site and why it matters. ApproveThis is the drill sergeant – it makes sure the right people say "go" without the usual corporate shuffle. Together, they automate the gap between spotting a hot lead and actually doing something about it.
Dealfront's Secret Sauce
Real talk: 82% of buyers choose vendors that respond first. Dealfront's lead tracking gives you the early warning system. But knowing a lead's interested doesn't help if your AE needs three signatures just to send a proposal.
ApproveThis' Approval Muscle
Custom approval chains that actually make sense. Think: "If lead is enterprise, route to CRO + Legal. If under $50K, auto-approve." No more CC'ing the entire department "just in case."
Three Ways This Combo Saves Deals (And Sanity)
1. New Lead? Instant Approval Fire Drill
Scenario: A German manufacturing VP spends 20 minutes on your pricing page at 2 AM their time. Dealfront flags it. By 9 AM Berlin time, your sales lead gets an approval request with all lead details pre-loaded. No chasing down managers.
Who Cares: SaaS companies with European expansion targets. Miss this window, and that VP's already on your competitor's Zoom.
2. The "They're Back" Workflow
Scenario: A retail chain's procurement team revisits your case studies three times this week. ApproveThis triggers a tiered approval – first sales director, then CFO if discount over 15%. All before the lead even fills out your contact form.
Secret Weapon: Approval thresholds. Under $X? Auto-approve. Over? Escalate without manual checks.
3. Post-Approval Momentum
Scenario: Legal finally signs off on the custom contract. Zapier instantly creates a Dealfront lead task with all approved terms. Sales isn't left wondering if it's "really" approved.
Big Win: Manufacturing companies dealing with complex procurement cycles. Eliminate the "Wait, did we get the green light?" limbo.
Setup That Doesn't Require an IT Degree
If you can order DoorDash, you can connect these. Here's the cheat code:
- Grab your Zapier account (free tier works)
- Pick your Dealfront trigger (New Lead = simplest start)
- Map lead data to ApproveThis fields (takes 3 minutes)
- Set approval rules: Who needs to bless this lead?
Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag high-value leads based on Dealfront's firmographic data. No more manual "Is this important?" guesses.
Who Actually Benefits (Besides Your CFO)
Sales Teams: From Begging to Closing
Dealfront shows you the who. ApproveThis removes the "Can I?" roadblocks. Example: A Munich IT reseller cut proposal delays from 48 hours to 90 minutes. Their secret? Auto-approving any lead matching their ideal customer profile.
Marketing: Prove Your Damn ROI
When every MQL gets tracked through approval stages, you finally see which campaigns drive approved leads, not just form fills. A Barcelona martech firm tied 37% of Q2 revenue directly to webinar leads approved within 2 hours.
Ops: Be the Hero Who Fixed Approvals
Real example: A 200-person logistics company had 14 approval steps for enterprise leads. Now, conditional logic auto-routes based on deal size. Ops director looks like a wizard, actually took 45 minutes to set up.
The Nasty Details You're Wondering About
"Do approvers need Dealfront access?" Hell no. ApproveThis works via email – external partners can approve without seeing your CRM. Legal loves this.
"What if someone's OOO?" Vacation delegation isn't some HR myth here. Approvals automatically reroute if your key approver's sipping margaritas in Mallorca.
"Can we override the auto-rules?" Obviously. But with good threshold setup, you'll rarely need to. One client auto-approves 68% of requests now.
This Isn't Just About Speed (Though That's Sexy)
Yeah, slashing approval times from days to hours matters. But the real win? Consistency. When every lead gets vetted by the same rules, your forecasts stop being fairy tales. A UK fintech firm reduced discount over-approvals by 41% in Q1 just by adding approval thresholds.
Ready to Stop Losing Deals to Paperwork?
ApproveThis isn't another tool – it's your escape from approval purgatory. Pair it with Dealfront's lead intel, and you're not just managing leads; you're capitalizing on them.
