When Lead Management Meets Actual Decision-Making
Let's be real: most CRMs are great at storing contacts and terrible at getting anyone to actually make decisions about those contacts. That's where slapping ApproveThis onto ProspectPro changes the game. We're talking about turning your Dutch prospect data into clear next steps - without the endless Slack pings or forgotten follow-ups.
Why This Combo Works for Teams That Hate Waiting
ProspectPro nails the "who" and "what" of your Dutch B2B leads. ApproveThis handles the "who needs to sign off on this" without turning it into a bureaucratic nightmare. Together, they solve the three biggest approval headaches in sales ops:
- Leads rotting in CRM purgatory while waiting for committee sign-off
- Legal/compliance teams ghosting urgent prospect requests
- External partners needing approvals but not CRM access
Real-World Use Cases That Don't Suck
1. Auto-Approving High-Value Prospects (Before Competitors Do)
Picture this: Your sales team adds a new enterprise prospect in ProspectPro. Zapier instantly kicks off an ApproveThis workflow that:
- Routes to Sales Director if deal size >€50k
- Pings Legal if prospect is in regulated industry
- Auto-approves if lead scores 90+ on your ideal profile
Who benefits: Tech startups racing against funded competitors. Example: Amsterdam SaaS company reduced approval delays by 68% on hot leads.
2. Killing Manual Tag Updates After Approvals
No more "approved" Excel sheets that never sync back to CRM. When your compliance team approves a vendor prospect in ApproveThis:
- ProspectPro automatically tags them as "Compliance-Cleared"
- Denied prospects get tagged for legal review
- All updates happen before the approver finishes their coffee
Who benefits: Manufacturing firms dealing with EU supplier regulations. One Rotterdam parts supplier cut compliance overhead by 22 hours/month.
3. External Approvals That Don't Require CRM Access
Your accounting team needs to approve prospect payment terms but shouldn't have full CRM access. With ApproveThis:
- They get email/Slack approval requests
- Decisions sync back to ProspectPro tags
- Zero new user seats required in either system
Who benefits: Agencies working with freelance teams. A Utrecht marketing firm onboarded 12 contractors without buying extra CRM licenses.
Setup That Won't Make You Want to Quit Your Job
If you can connect Spotify to Alexa, you can handle this:
- Create a Zapier account (free tier works)
- Connect ProspectPro and ApproveThis as apps
- Pick your trigger (new prospect, contact update, etc.)
- Map key fields between systems (takes 2 minutes)
- Test with a live prospect - approvals should flow in <90 seconds
Pro tip: Start with one workflow (like high-value lead approvals) before scaling to complex scenarios.

Email Approvals: Let execs approve directly from Gmail without login hassles.
Common Questions (From Real Skeptics)
"We already have ProspectPro workflows."
Cool - now add actual accountability. ApproveThis layers decision tracking on top of existing automations.
"Our approvers hate new tools."
They approve via email. Zero training needed. We've seen 70-year-old board members figure this out.
"What if Zapier goes down?"
Both systems have native email approvals as backup. You're covered.
Bottom Line
If your ProspectPro data isn't triggering real decisions faster than your Dutch competitors, you're leaving deals on the table. ApproveThis isn't another tool - it's the missing "act" button for your CRM.
