FAQ

Answers to some
commonly asked questions

Does DataSift work with my dialer?

Yes. Ready Mode, Smart Dialer, Call Tools, and Smarter Contact connect directly. A wrong-number disposition in the dialer flips the phone to wrong-number in DataSift in real time. A new-lead disposition fires the full sales cycle. Other dialers can connect through CSV upload or Zapier.

I'm coming from Podio, REsimpli, or Go High Level. Why switch?

Every CRM needs someone to move leads where they belong. The difference is what catches the misses. Most CRMs hand you an empty box and tell you to build it. DataSift ships with the workflow assembled — boards, statuses, tasks, and 26+ automations already wired. You're not paying for a database. You're paying for the system that already runs your lead management.

I have too many leads. Don't I need drip campaigns for my warm and hot leads?

No. The Unqualified split (daily + weekly) is the fix. One lead manager can hold 600 to 800 qualified leads without dripping anyone out of the funnel. Drip campaigns are for ghosting leads and not-interested follow-up. Never for warm or hot. Warm and hot get a human call, every time, on a tempo set by when the seller will sign.

Won't I need to hire an acquisitions person to keep up?

Most operators give away 20% of their revenue solving an operational problem with a hire. A trained lead manager working the default build prevents that hire for a long time. Bring in an acquisitions specialist when your lead manager is buried in qualified follow-up that's converting — not before.

Will my team actually use this?

Your lead manager works six filters every day:

  1. Call New Leads
  2. Unqualified Overdue
  3. Unqualified Due Today
  4. Qualified Overdue
  5. Qualified Due Today
  6. Leads Missing Task

When all six are empty at end of day, the day is done. No guessing. No drowning. No leads sitting where they shouldn't.

What happens to leads we never reach?

They don't disappear. After 31 touches over six months, the lead moves to Ghosting. From there it gets swept every 45 days through a dialer or text campaign.

"For every hundred ghostings, I could probably pull another two deals at minimum a year out of them. That could be worth a hundred grand to my company every year."

You don't lose leads. You stop spending your lead manager's day on the ones who aren't talking back.

How long does setup take?

Your account ships with the lead management default build already wired. Boards, statuses, tasks, automations — ready on day one. Add your team, import your data, and your lead manager can start working leads the same afternoon.

Can I customize it?

Yes, but don't. Not at first. Run the default for 60 days. Prove your team has the discipline. Then extend. Most operators who break their CRM do it in the first 30 days by trying to make it "smarter."

Is there a free trial?

Yes DataSift offers a 7 day free trial. In those 7 days you’ll receive all necessary materials to learn exactly how to leverage Sift in your company.
