The "Lead Drought" Problem
Seasonal traffic spikes from Black Friday flash sales overwhelm your manual follow-up, leaving hot leads for holiday gift bundles cold by the next day
Generic email blasts to fitness enthusiasts fall flat, ignoring their specific interests like trail running or gym gear
Inventory trends shift fast with seasonal drops like summer swimwear to fall outerwear, but your lead lists don't—prospects for winter boots ghost you by spring
Competitors snag impulse buyers on social media while you're stuck sifting through unqualified form submissions
Post-purchase upsell opportunities for complementary items like running socks slip away because you lack real-time data on customer gear preferences from cart abandonment
Trendy drops like limited-edition sneaker releases create buzz on Instagram, but without targeted lead gen via shoppable posts, you're chasing shadows instead of sales
Tailored AI Lead Generation Built for Your Store's Rhythm
We've powered lead systems for over 150 retail SMBs, including sporting goods chains navigating everything from marathon season to holiday gear rushes.
Why Choose Us
Let's be honest, off-the-shelf lead tools treat your store like just another shop. But you're dealing with runners eyeing new sneakers one week and campers prepping for summer the next. We build a custom AI engine that scrapes targeted sources like fitness forums and event sites, enriches leads with details on preferred sports, and funnels them straight into your workflow. No more one-size-fits-all limitations. This is flexible, built for your exact needs—like auto-tagging leads for yoga mats during wellness trends. You're probably thinking, 'How does it handle our busy seasons?' Seamlessly, with scalable automations that ramp up during peaks.

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ, our Black Friday leads were a mess—half were just window shoppers browsing our site. Now, the system pulls in serious buyers for winter apparel via targeted retargeting ads, and we've closed 20% more deals in the last quarter without adding staff, hitting $150K in extra revenue."
Sarah Jenkins
Owner, Peak Performance Sports
"We were buried in generic inquiries during marathon season from our email sign-ups. Their custom AI sorted the real runners from casual browsers, enriching data with race preferences from form submissions. Added 80 targeted leads in one month, and sales jumped 18% thanks to personalized product recommendations."
Mike Rivera
E-commerce Manager, Trailblazer Gear
"Handling cycling enthusiasts' queries was hit-or-miss with our basic chat widget. The AI integration with our Shopify site now captures and qualifies leads on the spot, like suggesting upgrades for bike commuters based on browse history. It's saved us 10 hours weekly and boosted repeat visits by 15% through automated follow-ups."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this AI handle seasonal fluctuations in sporting goods demand?
Here's the thing: sporting goods stores live and die by seasons—think ski gear in winter or beach volleyballs in summer. Our custom AI is built to flex with that. It analyzes historical sales data from your POS system alongside external trends, like weather patterns or major events (e.g., the Tour de France boosting cycling interest). During peaks, it ramps up scraping from relevant sources, prioritizing high-intent leads. For off-seasons, it focuses on nurturing evergreen prospects, like gym enthusiasts year-round. We've helped stores maintain a steady 20-30 leads per week, even in slow months, by adapting automations to your exact inventory cycles. No more feast-or-famine lead flow.
What makes your lead generation different from standard e-commerce tools?
You're probably thinking all lead tools are the same, but let's be honest—they're not built for the nuances of sporting goods. Generic platforms blast broad ads, ignoring if a lead wants trail running shoes or indoor ellipticals. We custom-build to your workflow, integrating with your product catalog to enrich leads with specifics, like size preferences or activity types. It's like curating a boutique selection versus a warehouse dump. Clients see 40% better qualification rates because we train the AI on your customer data, ensuring leads align with trends like sustainable outdoor gear. Plus, full ownership means no monthly fees eating into margins.
Can this integrate with my existing retail software stack?
Absolutely, and that's where we shine. Most stores juggle Shopify for e-commerce, Square for POS, and maybe Klaviyo for emails—it's a mess of disconnected data. Our team engineers deep, two-way API connections, so leads captured from a site visitor browsing camping tents flow instantly into your CRM with enriched details. No more manual exports or broken zaps. For example, if a lead shows interest in golf clubs, it auto-tags and schedules a follow-up in your system. We've integrated with over 50 retail tools, ensuring scalability for busy seasons without downtime. It's seamless, reducing errors by 70% for our partners.
How quickly can I see results from this AI lead system?
Short answer: faster than you think. We kick off with a two-week build phase tailored to your store's setup, launching a MVP that starts generating leads right away. Early wins? Stores often report 50-100 qualified prospects in the first month, especially if timed with events like spring training rushes. The AI learns from interactions, optimizing over the next 4-6 weeks for peak performance—like hitting 200 leads during summer sales. One client, a bike shop, went from 10 sporadic inquiries to a steady pipeline in under 30 days. We're hands-on, monitoring and tweaking to match your pace.
Is this secure for handling customer data in retail?
Security is non-negotiable in e-commerce, especially with personal details like fitness goals or purchase histories. We build with enterprise-grade encryption and comply with GDPR/CCPA from day one, ensuring leads' data—like email prefs for swimwear alerts—is protected. Unlike off-the-shelf tools prone to breaches, our custom systems run on your owned infrastructure, minimizing third-party risks. We audit integrations regularly and train the AI to anonymize sensitive info during enrichment. Retail partners tell us this peace of mind lets them focus on customer experience, not compliance headaches.
What if my store is small—does this scale down?
We get it; not every sporting goods shop is a mega-chain. Our solutions are designed for SMBs, starting lean with core features like basic lead scraping from local running club sites. For a small store with 50-100 monthly visitors, we focus on high-quality over quantity—targeting locals interested in paddleboards or team uniforms. It scales as you grow, adding layers like voice agents for event bookings without overhauling everything. Pricing flexes too, based on your volume. A boutique ski shop we worked with started small and doubled leads in six months, proving it's perfect for any size.
