Two Platforms, One Competitive Edge

Marketing teams face a universal challenge: moving fast without sacrificing control. Letterdrop helps you identify high-potential leads and craft targeted content. ApproveThis ensures decisions happen quickly – whether it’s greenlighting a lead for outreach or approving a budget for a new campaign. Together, they remove bottlenecks that slow down pipeline generation.

Where Letterdrop Shines – and Where ApproveThis Steps In

Letterdrop excels at capturing engaged leads through social listening, content monitoring, and lead scraping. But even the hottest lead grows cold if it sits in approval limbo. ApproveThis adds structure to what happens next:

  • No more Slack chaos: Replace "Hey, should we pursue this?" threads with auditable approval workflows.
  • Scale without chaos: Enforce spending limits on lead outreach budgets automatically.

Example: A SaaS company uses Letterdrop to track leads discussing competitors on Reddit. With ApproveThis, their sales team instantly routes high-intent leads for manager approval – avoiding overspending on unqualified prospects.

Use Case Deep Dives: From Lead to Revenue, Faster

1. Instant Lead Qualification

The Problem: Marketing captures 200 leads via webinar. Sales can’t manually vet them all, so high-potential leads get the same template email as tire-kickers.

The Fix: Letterdrop triggers an ApproveThis workflow when a lead meets criteria (e.g., visits pricing page twice). Approvers get context: “This lead opened 5 emails last week.”

Who Benefits: - Agencies: Flag clients’ competitors mentioned in lead transcripts for fast-track approval. - Enterprise Teams: Require legal review before engaging leads in regulated industries.

2. Turn Approvals Into Actionable Data

The Problem: Why was Lead A approved but Lead B rejected? Without records, marketing can’t refine targeting.

The Fix: When an ApproveThis request is approved, Letterdrop auto-generates a transcript. Over time, this reveals patterns: “Leads from LinkedIn convert 2x faster than Twitter.”

Real-World Impact: A B2B startup discovered their ‘ideal’ job title targets actually had lower approval rates. They adjusted campaigns, boosting sales-accepted leads by 37%.

3. Scraped Leads: Quality Over Quantity

The Problem: Web scraping tools dump thousands of leads. Without vetting, sales wastes time on irrelevant contacts.

The Fix: Letterdrop scrapes a lead? ApproveThis checks: Is their company in our target industry? Do they have budget authority? Only approved leads route to CRM.

Cost Saver: One client reduced sales development reps’ outreach list by 60% – but deal volume stayed the same, proving better lead focus.

Setup Made Simple (No Coders Needed)

Using Zapier, connect Letterdrop and ApproveThis in under 15 minutes:

  1. Trigger: Choose a Letterdrop event (new lead, scraped contact, etc.).
  2. Filter: Optional. Only route leads meeting criteria (e.g., from specific campaigns) for approval.
  3. Action: ApproveThis creates a request with lead details pulled from Letterdrop.

Pro Tip: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag leads requiring exec approval (e.g., deal size over $50k).

Why This Combo Beats Native Tools

Letterdrop’s strength is aggregation and analysis. ApproveThis adds what CRMs and project tools lack:

  • External Approvers: Legal doesn’t need a Letterdrop login to vet leads. They approve via email.
  • Escalation Paths: Stuck waiting on a VP? ApproveThis auto-reassigns after 48 hours.
  • Audit Trails: Prove compliance – show exactly who approved a lead and why.

Teams That Gain the Most

Marketing Operations

Stop being the ‘approval police.’ Set thresholds in ApproveThis: Leads under $10k potential auto-approve. Over $50k? Auto-route to VP. Frees up time for strategic work.

Sales Leadership

Get visibility into lead quality pre-approval. Spot trends: “70% of rejected leads came from Campaign X – adjust messaging.”

Finance

Integrate ApproveThis’ calculations with your CRM. Example: Auto-approve leads if estimated deal size minus outreach cost meets ROI targets.

Beyond Lead Approval: Unexpected Use Cases

Approvals aren’t just for leads. Combine these tools for:

Content Budgets: Writers submit topics via Letterdrop. ApproveThis checks against quarterly budget, routes for CMO approval if over limit.

Partner Collaborations: External agencies submit campaign ideas through Letterdrop. Approval workflows ensure brand compliance before execution.
