Success story: how automation increased sales by 50% in 3 months
Juliana Carvalho · 2026-10-07
Overview of the operation before automation
Before automation, the operation relied on manual processes for campaign management, lead follow-up, and customer support. The teams spent an average of 20 hours per week just on repetitive tasks, resulting in low efficiency and a conversion rate of only 2%. Monthly sales were around R$ 50.000,00, but scaling campaigns was difficult due to a lack of time and resources.
Tools used for automation
- Marketing automation platform: Using a tool like RD Station enabled lead segmentation and automated email sends.
- Chatbots: A chatbot was implemented for customer support, reducing response time by up to 70%.
- Ad management: FreeSpy was used to monitor and optimize campaigns on Meta, identify the top-performing ads, and replicate winning strategies.
- CRM: A CRM system was integrated to centralize customer and lead information, making follow-up easier.
