When Lead Generation Meets Approval Automation
Let’s cut to the chase: Poper makes sexy pop-ups that actually work. ApproveThis makes corporate red tape slightly less soul-crushing. Together? They’re the ultimate “get shit done” duo for mid-sized companies tired of losing hot leads in approval purgatory.
Think about your last big campaign. How many high-intent leads got stuck waiting for someone in Legal to OK the discount? How many sales reps wasted time chasing unqualified tire-kickers because Marketing couldn’t filter properly? That’s why this integration exists – to turn “we’ll circle back on that” into actual decisions while the lead’s still warm.
What Happens When You Plug a Lead Rocket Into an Approval Engine
Poper’s AI-driven popups are like a never-ending lead buffet. But here’s the thing about buffets – you still need someone to check the health inspection certificate before diving in. That’s where ApproveThis comes in:
The Nuts and Bolts
Every time Poper scores a new lead (whether it’s a $500K enterprise deal or a free trial signup), ApproveThis automatically:
- Routes it to the right approver based on deal size, lead source, or 20+ other criteria
- Triggers escalations if Karen from Finance is on her third margarita in Cabo
- Logs every decision so you can audit why that big client walked six months later
Meanwhile, your sales team isn’t sitting on their hands waiting for answers. They’re either:
- Chasing pre-approved hot leads
- Ignoring tire-kickers that got auto-rejected by your approval thresholds
Real Companies Doing Real Things (No Fluff)
The SaaS Playbook
Take RenewFlow – 150 employees, $20M ARR. Their Poper popups offer custom demos for enterprise leads. Problem? Their sales engineers kept wasting time on “enterprise” leads that were really 3-person startups fishing for freebies.
Solution: Any lead requesting a custom demo now triggers an ApproveThis workflow that:
- Checks company size via Clearbit integration
- Auto-approves if >200 employees
- Routes to Sales Ops for manual review if 50-200
- Auto-rejects anyone smaller (with a nice “Here’s our self-serve option” email)
Result? 23% more demos booked, 41% less sales engineer burnout.
The E-Commerce Hustle
BoldBrew (85 employees, $12M revenue) uses Poper for flash sales. Their old process? Email chains with 7 people to approve discount tiers. Now:
- 10% off coupon? Auto-approved
- 20% off? Needs CMO sign-off
- 30%+? Triggers a 3-person exec review
Last Black Friday: 18,000 coupons issued in 4 hours with zero human bottlenecks.
Why Your Teams Will Actually Use This
Marketing Gets to Play Grown-Up
No more “We generated 500 leads!” chest-thumping when 490 were garbage. Set approval thresholds that force qualification before leads ever hit Salesforce. Bonus: Prove campaign ROI with ApproveThis’ audit trails showing exactly which approved leads converted.
Sales Stops Chasing Ghosts
Your reps get leads that are already:
- Budget-approved
- Compliance-checked
- Scored against your ideal customer profile
Translation: More commission checks, less rage-quitting.
Ops Keeps Its Sanity
Built-in features like vacation delegation and approval chains mean no more:
- “But I was OOO!” excuses
- Approval request spreadsheets from hell
- Legal department meltdowns over unvetted offers
Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind
Here’s the 3-step no-BS guide:
- Connect the Dots: Zapier links Poper to ApproveThis in about 7 minutes. Seriously – it’s just picking triggers and mapping fields.
- Build Your Safety Nets: Use ApproveThis’ calculated fields to auto-flag leads needing special attention. Example: “If lead score >80 AND requested discount >15%, require VP approval.”
- Test Like You Mean It: Run dummy leads through every possible path. Better to catch a “rejects all enterprise leads” bug now than during your CEO’s pet campaign.
The Secret Sauce Other Tools Miss
What makes this combo killer for 50-5,000 employee companies?
No License Headaches: Approvers (even external partners) can OK/Cancel requests via email without needing a Poper login. Huge for regulated industries where auditors need visibility but not system access.
Real-Time Math That Matters: ApproveThis’ calculated fields automatically apply your business rules. Think “Auto-approve popup coupon requests under $10K lifetime value” or “Flag any lead from competitors for legal review.”
Emergency Overrides: Founders love this one – set thresholds that auto-approve during server outages or PR crises when you need fast decisions.
When to Use This vs. When to Keep Walking
Good Fit If:
- You’re scaling past 50 employees and approval chaos is creeping in
- Different departments fight over lead quality
- You offer tiered discounts/packages through popups
- Compliance needs to audit lead handling processes
Not Magic Beans If:
- You get 10 leads/month (just use a Google Form)
- Your founder still approves every request manually (bless your heart)
- You change approval rules daily (stick to post-its)
Bottom Line for Busy People
Poper makes lead generation effortless. ApproveThis makes decision-making less painful. Together via Zapier, they’re the silent workhorses that:
- Prevent sales/marketing fistfights over lead quality
- Turn week-long approvals into 4-hour decisions
- Give ops teams actual data to optimize processes
Best part? You can set this up before your next coffee break. ApproveThis starts at $99/month – less than you’ll waste on unqualified leads this week.
