Why Lead Segmentation Is Critical in Foreign Trade
You receive 100 inquiries.
But only:
-
12 are real buyers
-
26 are browsing
-
62 aren’t ready to buy — yet
Withoutlead segmentation, your team sends the same message to everyone.
That leads to:
-
Wasted follow-ups
-
Missed opportunities
-
Sales fatigue
That’s where SaleAI’sAI-powered segmentationcomes in.

📦 Product interest
-
💸 Budget or volume
-
🔁 Buying intent (hot/warm/cold)
-
📈 Behavioral history (clicks, replies, views)
SaleAI usesAI to detect patterns and assign tags— instantly.
