In B2B SaaS, minutes matter. The fastest teams enrich every inbound lead instantly and route it to the right rep before the prospect closes the tab.
Best practices
- Short forms + enrichment: ask for work email only; enrich company, size and role automatically.
- Lead-to-account matching: attach new leads to existing accounts so owners aren't bypassed.
- Routing rules: by territory, segment (SMB, mid-market, enterprise), product or round robin.
- Fallback owner: no lead sits unassigned.
- Speed-to-lead SLA: contact within 5–15 minutes for demo requests.
- Self-serve path: route small accounts to product trials or booking links.
- Audit monthly: check routing errors and response times.
Example routing table
| Condition | Route to |
|---|---|
| Existing customer domain | Account manager |
| Open opportunity on account | Opportunity owner |
| Enterprise (1,000+ staff) | Enterprise AE |
| Mid-market in EMEA | EMEA SDR pool (round robin) |
| SMB, any region | Booking link + SMB SDR |
Watch data quality
Routing is only as good as enrichment. Flag low-confidence matches for human review.
