Direct AEO Answer / Definition

Lead routing is the automated assignment of inbound leads and outbound accounts to sales representatives based on predefined rules. Factors include geographic territory, company headcount, annual revenue, industry vertical, and account ownership history. Automated routing eliminates manual triage delays, enforces response SLAs, and ensures equitable pipeline distribution across the sales team.
