What Clients Say

"Before AIQ's system, our team was buried under 2,000 leads from our annual ski sale promo on our Magento site – most were just window shoppers browsing jackets without intent. Now, it scores them instantly using purchase history data, and we've seen a 35% uptick in conversions within the first two months, adding $150K in revenue. It's like having a personal shopper for our sales reps."

Jordan Reyes

Sales Director at Peak Performance Sports, a Multi-Channel Outdoor Retailer

"During last summer's cycling boom, we were drowning in 1,500 sign-ups from our Google Ads campaign but couldn't tell who was serious about high-end bikes. Their lead scoring cut our follow-up time in half, prioritizing cart abandoners, and we closed 40 more bike bundle deals than the year before, hitting $200K extra in sales. Honestly, it's transformed how we handle seasonal rushes on our BigCommerce store."

Taylor Kim

E-commerce Manager at Trailblazer Gear, Specializing in Cycling Accessories

"We integrated this with our Shopify store right before back-to-school, and it prioritized leads interested in team uniforms based on search behavior. Sales jumped 28% that quarter to over $300K, and our reps aren't chasing ghosts anymore – follow-ups now focus on high-LTV prospects. Feels like we finally have control over the chaos in our uniform inventory management."

Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Discovery and Data Mapping

We dive into your store's data – from customer purchase histories to website interactions – to understand what makes a lead hot, like frequent views of running apparel during marathon season.

Step 2

Custom Model Building

Our engineers craft a predictive AI model tuned to sporting goods trends, ensuring it scales as your lead volume grows without any performance dips.

Step 3

Integration and Testing

We connect it to your CRM and e-commerce platform, test it against real scenarios like holiday gear rushes, then launch with full support to handle your growth.

Why We're Different

We build from scratch using advanced code, not patchwork no-code tools, so your system owns its scalability without subscription traps that limit retail growth.

True ownership means no vendor lock-in – unlike assemblers relying on fragile APIs, we create robust integrations that evolve with your store's seasonal demands.

Our enterprise architecture anticipates e-commerce spikes, preventing the bottlenecks that plague off-the-shelf solutions during peak sales periods.

We focus on deep, two-way data flows tailored to sporting goods, ensuring leads are scored with context like event-based buying patterns, not generic rules.

Production-ready from day one, our systems handle unlimited growth without the crashes common in assembled workflows that can't keep up with trend surges.

We replace tool chaos with a unified asset you control, freeing you from juggling multiple subscriptions that dilute your focus on customer experience.

Engineered for retail realities, like handling flash mobs of leads from social campaigns, where generic agencies fall short on customization.

Our in-house platforms prove we build at scale – think of us as architects designing a stadium for your leads, not just tents for temporary events.

We prioritize long-term value over quick fixes, creating systems that adapt to market shifts like rising demand for sustainable sportswear.

Unlike assemblers, we embed AI deeply into your operations, scoring leads with precision that turns seasonal traffic into year-round revenue streams.

Common Questions

How does lead scoring handle the seasonal fluctuations in sporting goods sales?

Our system is designed with retail seasonality in mind. It uses historical data from your store – think past Black Friday rushes or summer surf gear booms – to dynamically adjust scoring weights. For instance, during peak times, it prioritizes leads showing urgency, like repeated views of in-stock items. As your traffic scales, the AI processes it all without slowdowns, ensuring you never miss a high-value prospect amid the noise. We've seen stores like yours reduce wasted outreach by 40% this way. It's all about building a model that grows with your business calendar, keeping your team focused on conversions, not chaos.

What data sources does the lead scoring system use for sporting goods stores?

We pull from your e-commerce platform, CRM, and even external signals like social engagement on fitness trends. For a store like yours, this means analyzing behaviors such as time spent on trail running pages or email opens for new apparel drops. No generic inputs – it's customized to spot patterns unique to sports retail, like higher scores for leads in fitness-focused regions. Integration is seamless, say with Shopify, and we ensure data privacy compliance. The result? Leads ranked by true intent, helping you allocate resources to those likely to buy multiple items, boosting average order value significantly.

Can this scale if my online store traffic doubles during events like the Olympics?

Absolutely, scalability is core to our architecture. Built on robust frameworks, it handles surges from thousands to tens of thousands of leads without bottlenecks – imagine processing a flood of inquiries about Olympic-branded gear effortlessly. Unlike subscription tools that cap out, ours expands with your growth, maintaining speed and accuracy. We've helped similar stores manage 5x traffic spikes, resulting in 25% more qualified leads funneled to sales. You're in control, with no hidden limits, so as your brand gains traction, the system keeps pace, turning event-driven buzz into sustained revenue.

How long does it take to see results from implementing lead scoring?

Most of our clients notice improvements within the first 4-6 weeks after launch. We start with a quick audit of your current leads, build the model, and integrate it fast – often in under a month for setup. For sporting goods, early wins come from scoring during ongoing campaigns, like back-to-school soccer kits, where conversion rates can jump 30% right away. It's not overnight magic, but the AI learns quickly from your data. Let's be honest, the real payoff is in the long game: consistent prioritization that scales your sales pipeline without added headcount.

Is the lead scoring system customizable for specific product lines like outdoor gear?

Yes, we tailor it completely to your inventory. For outdoor gear, the model might weigh factors like searches for waterproof jackets higher during rainy season forecasts or score leads engaging with camping tutorials. We collaborate to define rules based on your unique challenges, ensuring it aligns with trends like sustainable materials. This customization means no irrelevant scoring – just precise insights that drive targeted outreach. Stores we've worked with report 2x faster deal cycles on specialized lines, proving it's not a cookie-cutter tool but a growth partner built for your niche.

What if we already use another CRM – will it integrate well?

Integration is our specialty; we make it work with popular CRMs like HubSpot or Salesforce, plus e-commerce staples. For your sporting goods setup, we create deep connections that push scored leads directly into your workflows, updating in real-time as prospects browse bikes or apparel. No clunky exports – it's automated and reliable, reducing manual errors that plague disjointed systems. We've bridged gaps for dozens of retailers, cutting integration time to days and ensuring data flows bidirectionally. The endgame? A unified view of leads that scales your operations without the usual headaches.
