The challenge
A Vietnam-based furniture exporter had:
-
Thousands of potential contacts from trade fairs and online searches
-
No structured way to verify which were active buyers
-
Sales staff spending over 20 hours a week on manual prospecting
Result: Inconsistent lead flow, high bounce rates, and missed opportunities.
The turning point
After months of declining inquiries, the sales director decided to trial SaleAI Agent for lead generation.
The goal was simple: replace guesswork with targeted, verified leads.

-
Lead verification – Removed outdated or duplicate contacts, verified company status and purchase history
-
Seamless integration – Qualified leads sent directly to the email outreach queue
The results
-
Qualified leads/month: Increased from 80 to 240+
