ApproveThis manages your Verse approvals.

When Lead Machines Meet Approval Engines

Let's get real - your sales team's stuck playing approval whack-a-mole. Verse's AI is out here booking meetings faster than your SDRs can say "qualified lead," but then everything grinds to a halt waiting for Karen in accounting to approve the special discount. That's where we come in.

ApproveThis isn't just another checkbox tool. It's the missing link between your lead conversion machine and the people who need to sign off on deals. We automate the bureaucratic sludge that turns hot leads into cold cases. And we do it through Zapier, so you're not hiring a coding team to make it work.

Why This Combo Doesn't Suck

Verse's good at what it does - having actual conversations with leads through AI-powered texting. But when you need human decisions (discount approvals, custom proposals, enterprise contract sign-offs), that's where most CRMs fall flat. ApproveThis handles the messy human part without slowing down the automated parts.

Here's the kicker: approvers don't need Verse licenses. Your CFO can approve pricing exceptions from their Gmail without learning yet another SaaS tool. Meanwhile, sales ops gets full audit trails showing exactly when Karen approved that 15% discount for the Acme Corp deal.

Real Shit Your Sales Team Will Actually Use

1. Auto-Escalate Hot Leads

When Verse's AI detects a lead ready for enterprise-level pricing (based on deal size or custom requirements), ApproveThis automatically:

• Routes the deal to regional sales directors
• CCs legal if contract terms get weird
• Approves standard discounts instantly using dollar thresholds

Medtech companies use this to fast-track hospital procurement deals while automatically flagging compliance reviews for device-specific terms.

2. Kill Lead Rot with Expiration Dates

Set approval windows that automatically disqualify stale leads. If marketing doesn't approve a lead within 48 hours? It gets kicked back to Verse's nurture sequences. We've seen SaaS companies recover 22% of decaying pipeline this way.

3. Custom Pricing Without the Spreadsheet Hell

Here's how a cybersecurity vendor uses the integration:

1. Verse qualifies a lead needing 300+ licenses
2. ApproveThis calculates bulk pricing using real-time deal metrics
3. Auto-routes to VP Sales if discount exceeds 20%
4. Updates Verse lead status before sales even gets the Slack alert

Department Wins That Don't Sound Like BS

Sales Ops:

Finally get visibility into why deals stall. Our dashboard shows approval bottlenecks in real time - 38% of delays come from legal reviews? Maybe fix your contract templates.

Field Sales:

Stop babysitting approval requests. Get notified via email/Slack when your enterprise deal clears legal, with all docs attached. No more digging through Verse comments.

Finance:

Enforce approval chains without being the bad guy. Set hard limits on discounts (CEO approval required >25%) while allowing reps to approve small deals instantly.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

Connect Verse to ApproveThis in Zapier (takes 9 minutes if you're slow):

1. Pick your trigger in Verse (new lead, lead activity, etc.)
2. Map key fields to ApproveThis - deal size, lead score, whatever matters
3. Set approval rules: Who needs to sign off based on deal parameters
4. Configure auto-actions: Update Verse status, trigger emails, log to Salesforce

Pro tip: Use calculated fields to auto-approve repeat customers under $50k while flagging new accounts over $10k for manager review.

Why This Beats Building In-House

We've seen teams try to hack this together with email rules and Google Forms. It always fails when:

• Approvers change roles (we handle delegation automatically)
• Deals need parallel approvals (legal + finance + sales)
• You need to audit why a deal got approved last quarter

ApproveThis adds structure without the rigidity. Set hard rules where needed (compliance approvals), keep it flexible elsewhere (creative deal terms).

Your Move

This isn't about replacing human judgment - it's about eliminating the busywork that makes people hate approvals. When your sales team isn't chasing signatures, they can actually sell. When finance isn't drowning in approval emails, they can analyze real data.

If you've got more than 50 employees and at least three people touching each deal, you're wasting money every day this isn't set up. Get started free or book a 15-minute demo where we'll show actual pipelines from companies your size.

P.S. If your sales cycle doesn't need approvals, congratulations - you either sell $5 widgets or you're lying to yourself.
