Process

Discovery

Sales vs Marketing - Where's the gap?

Initial research explored how teams currently approach B2B lead generation and where existing solutions fall short.

Focus Areas
01

What solutions currently address the top of the sales funnel?

02

How much time and budget do teams lose to inefficient prospecting processes?

03

What challenges do marketing teams face in generating qualified leads?

04

What obstacles prevent sales teams from closing deals efficiently?

Positioning matrix

Competitors' strengths and weaknesses were mapped to identify opportunities for Scopify to deliver a differentiated user experience in the B2B sales intelligence space.

User Interviews

In-depth interviews were conducted with 10 sales and marketing professionals to uncover pain points, frustrations, and unmet needs in their current lead generation workflows.

Key INSIGHTS
01

Traditional scoring models rely on surface-level metrics like email opens rather than meaningful signals such as deal size or buyer intent. Teams waste time chasing low-priority leads while high-value opportunities go cold.

02

Marketing teams invest heavily in account-based campaigns, but much of their content goes unused. Without proper distribution to engaged stakeholders, these efforts fail to generate warm leads for sales.

03

B2B deals require buy-in from multiple stakeholders, but sales reps often can't identify all the decision-makers involved. This blind spot makes it difficult to build consensus and move deals forward.

04

When leads move from Marketing to BDRs to SDRs, critical information disappears. Sales teams waste time hunting for context or re-qualifying leads, which slows the pipeline and risks losing interested prospects.

05

Low MQL-to-SQL conversion rates force sales teams to spend more time vetting leads than closing deals. This drains resources and directly impacts revenue growth.

06

Without transparency into how leads are sourced and scored, reps question the quality of their pipeline. This skepticism leads to inconsistent follow-up and missed revenue opportunities.

Current Sales Landscape

A journey map was created to place some market research into context. Real numbers and percentages are shown to reflect pain points at every stage of the sales pipeline.

Define

Carving out a niche in a saturated market

After conducting research, all the findings were synthesized to identity themes, opportunities, and features that Scopify could focus and improve upon.

Persona study

A series of 3 personas were defined based on the data collected to help drive design decisions and keep the product focused on solving users pain points, frustrations, and their goals.

How Might We Statements

Insights from the discovery stage are reframed into opportunities in the sales and marketing problem space through HMW statements. These were then mapped to a user journey to draw connections.

"How might we support users in closing more deals with new clients?"

Ideate

Creating the Scopify experience

Structuring ideas through prototyping and mock-ups based on the feedback and insights gained from research and analysis.

User Flow

The primary user flow is the process of prospecting, intelligent messaging, and booking a meeting. The information architecture was informed by multiple card-sorting sessions with prospective users.

Low-Fidelity Prototypes

A few rounds of solution sketching followed by a low-fidelity prototype was created to iterate upon. Using the feedback and insights gained from these iterations, the prototype is continuously improved upon.

Style Guide

A style guide was built to serve as the one source of truth for all design and creative initiatives. They are categorized into Primitives, Iconography, and Components.

Reflections

Balancing Automation with Control
Early concepts leaned heavily on full automation—AI would handle everything from lead scoring to message sending. Through testing, I learned users wanted to maintain control over outreach. I redesigned the system to position AI as an assistant that suggests and drafts, while users retain final approval. This built trust and increased adoption.

Prioritizing Speed Over Customization (MVP)
Users requested extensive customization options for lead scoring criteria and messaging templates. Given our timeline and technical constraints, I focused on delivering a curated set of high-performing templates with basic personalization tokens. This allowed us to ship faster and validate core value before building advanced customization.

Single Dashboard vs. Role-Specific Views
Marketing and sales teams have different priorities, and initial research suggested separate dashboards. However, this would fragment the handoff process we were trying to improve. I designed a unified dashboard with role-based filters and perspectives, keeping teams aligned while surfacing relevant information for each user type.

Mobile-First Deferred
While 40% of sales reps check leads on mobile, building responsive experiences would have delayed launch by 6+ weeks. I advocated for a desktop-first MVP with a mobile-optimized view for notifications and quick actions, planning full mobile support for the next phase based on usage data.
