How ApproveThis + Visual Visitor Cuts Approval Chaos for Sales & Marketing Teams

Let's be real - most companies suck at two things: 1) tracking website leads effectively, and 2) getting timely approvals to act on those leads. That's why pairing Visual Visitor's website intelligence with ApproveThis' approval automation isn't just convenient - it's a straight-up competitive advantage for teams tired of letting hot leads go cold.

When Caller ID Meets Approval Workflows

Visual Visitor works like caller ID for your website, identifying companies checking out your content. ApproveThis acts like your organized friend who actually gets people to make decisions. Together, they solve the "we know who's interested, but nobody can agree how to respond" problem that plagues mid-sized companies.

Here's why this combo hits different:

• No more approval limbo: Sales doesn't wait days to get clearance for outreach
• Zero license headaches: Approvers only need email access - no extra software seats

Real-World Use Cases That Don't Suck

We're not talking about theoretical BS. These are actual workflows our customers run daily:

1. Fast-Tracking High-Value Company Visits

When Visual Visitor flags an enterprise prospect (say, Nike) browsing your pricing page, ApproveThis automatically:

1. Routes approval to Sales Director
2. Attaches account research from your CRM
3. Escalates to VP if not approved in 2 hours

Who this helps: Tech companies with complex sales cycles where legal/leadership needs visibility on big deals.

2. Killing Campaign Guesswork

Marketing tags visitors from specific campaigns (like your LinkedIn ad). When they return, ApproveThis:

• Triggers budget approval for retargeting
• Routes creative assets for legal review
• Auto-approves follow-ups under $500

Who this helps: E-commerce teams needing rapid-fire campaign adjustments based on live traffic.

3. Closing the Loop on Contact Data

When Visual Visitor captures full contact details (CTO + email + phone), ApproveThis:

• Checks against current deals in Salesforce
• Requires sales manager sign-off before outreach
• Logs all decisions for revenue team audits

Who this helps: Security/Compliance teams in regulated industries requiring approval trails.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

If you can use a toaster, you can connect these tools:

1. Create a Zapier account (free tier works)
2. Choose Visual Visitor as trigger app
3. Pick ApproveThis as action app
4. Map fields (takes 2 minutes)

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' calculated fields to auto-flag high-value accounts based on company size/page visits.

Why Your Teams Will Actually Like This

Sales Teams

Get alerted when target accounts visit pricing pages, with pre-approved outreach scripts and escalation paths for stuck deals. Approval thresholds mean small deals move automatically while big ones get attention.

Marketing Teams

Stop guessing which campaigns drive real pipeline. Get instant approvals to double down on what's working using real visitor data instead of PowerPoint arguments.

Operations Teams

Finally prove ROI on website spend with approval trails showing exactly which leads converted after specific visits. Vacation delegation means no approvals get stuck when people take PTO.

The Quiet Advantage Nobody Talks About

Most approval tools require everyone to have logins for every system involved. With ApproveThis:

• External partners can approve via email
• Execs only get pinged when necessary
• New hires get auto-added to right workflows

Translation: Less IT tickets about password resets, more actual work happening.

When to Steal This Setup

If any of these sound familiar:

• "We saw the lead but couldn't get legal to review fast enough"
• "Marketing keeps spamming unvetted contacts"
• "Our CRM shows leads but no approval history"

That's your cue. The combo works best for companies where:

• Multiple departments touch lead processes
• Compliance actually matters (not just checkbox audits)
• Website traffic is growing but conversions aren't

Bottom Line

Visual Visitor tells you who's interested. ApproveThis ensures you do something about it before competitors do. For teams tired of "we missed that lead" excuses, this is your playbook.
