Higher Sales Efficiency

Work smarter (not harder) with Drift AI, live chat, and personalization and here’s some numbers to prove it. Drift customers have seen a 50% increase in sales efficiency and a 75-100% increase in conversations converted to Marketing Qualified Leads.

Coverage Across the Entire Customer Lifecycle

Unlike Drift, Qualified can't deliver personalized experiences at scale throughout the customer journey.

  • Drift Conversational Marketing quickly qualifies, nurtures, and converts customers through your marketing funnel.
  • Drift Conversational Sales allows sales teams to personally greet accounts with their assigned rep in real-time, and use omnichannel communication to win more deals, faster.
  • Drift Conversational Service empowers customers to get questions answered via self-service and through live chatting with a support agent.

Full Tech Stack Support

Qualified lacks deep integrations with the rest of your sales and marketing stack. Leverage our 50+ integrations or connect via our open API to accelerate deal cycles and work more efficiently with context from across your full tech stack.

Automatically Clean and Enrich Contact Records with Drift Email

  • Drift Email filters prospect replies and immediately routes them to the right sales rep.
  • Customize inboxes, create personalized email addresses, and send one-to-one or one-to-many emails to targeted accounts.
  • Analyze each email to identify additional sales opportunities. Surface new decision makers from out-of-office messages, find replacements when people change jobs, and automatically update your MAP with new contacts.

Drift has contributed to our digital success in multiple ways. It’s helping us hit our pipeline goals, increase site engagement, engage visitors longer, and also align our sales and marketing teams.

MORE THAN LIVE CHAT AND BUTTONS

The math on AI bots is hard to ignore. 50% of website chat occurs on nights and weekends. Qualified can give you buttons during those off-hours, but free text drives 40% more conversations, not to mention being much easier to maintain and more enjoyable for your customers. So the question is, how do you want to capitalize on these 50% of off-hours conversations?
