The enterprise friction point
Apex Global's account executives spent 65% of their working hours manually qualifying enterprise inbound leads, answering technical integration FAQs, and coordinating calendar availability across global time zones. High-intent opportunities often waited over 6 hours for initial discovery scheduling, resulting in a 22% drop-off rate to agile competitors.
