Why Apollo Alone Isn’t Enough

Apollo.io is one of the most powerful platforms for sales teams. With access to over 265M+ contacts and advanced enrichment, Apollo gives your team the ability to find and engage high-quality leads at scale.

But Apollo stops at data and outreach — it doesn’t qualify your leads in real time, nor does it ensure speed-to-lead when someone shows interest.

Research shows that responding to leads within 5 minutes makes them up to 9x more likely to convert compared to waiting even 30 minutes.

‍

1. Import Apollo Leads Into AssignX for AI-powered workflows
2. Assign AI Agents to Follow Up Automatically
3. Automate Qualification and Routing without human delay
