The challenge: Scaling inbound in a leaner environment

Quantum Metric, a digital analytics platform helping companies build better digital experiences, has always been committed to driving smart growth. In 2023, the company made a bold shift: it sunset its North America SDR team, moving inbound follow-up to AEs. While average deal sizes increased, top-of-funnel performance began to suffer.

“We were sitting on so much intent from our site but didn’t have a scalable way to engage and qualify it,” says Alexi Hatch, VP of Marketing at Quantum Metric. “That’s when Piper came in.”

The solution: Enter Piper, Quantum Metric’s AI SDR agent

Quantum Metric, a Qualified customer since 2022, brought in Piper—the AI SDR agent from Qualified—to solve their inbound follow-up gap. Internally branded as Quinn, Piper was trained to engage with high-value ICP accounts and act as an extension of the marketing team.

“With Piper, we finally had a follow-up engine that was consistent, strategic, and smart—something we could trust to engage the right accounts, every time.”

The team started with chat on the website, targeting high-fit accounts. With a focused ICP of around 1,000 accounts, Piper (aka Quinn) was trained to qualify quickly, ask intelligent questions—like app usage—and deflect unqualified leads. Then, they expanded her footprint across the site, embedding her behind CTAs to streamline scheduling.

Next came Piper’s email capabilities, which unlocked a major opportunity: follow-up for leads who engaged but didn’t end up converting on the website. What used to fall through the cracks was now being actively re-engaged—and converted.

The results: 90–100x ROI, higher ACV, and scaled trust

Piper the AI SDR Agent has become a powerhouse for inbound at Quantum Metric.

  • Qualified is the #1 driver of pipeline, responsible for nearly 50% of marketing-sourced opportunities

  • Piper delivers 90–100x ROI most months

  • Visitors who engage with Piper are 8x more likely to convert

  • Leads sourced by Piper tend to have 1.5x higher ACV

  • Within the first week of enabling Piper Email, a deal was sourced that was 2x the average ACV

“That lead probably wouldn’t have been touched without her,” Alexi says. “Now we trust the follow-up. Piper gives us confidence that every good lead gets the attention it deserves.”

With Piper reliably handling inbound qualification and follow-up, Quantum Metric has even restarted some previously paused paid campaigns—knowing the leads won’t fall through the cracks.

Advice for marketing leaders: Train it like a human

For other marketing leaders considering an AI SDR agent, Alexi offers clear advice:

“Be as specific and detailed as possible. Don’t just let your AI SDR go loose—train it like a human. Give feedback. Every hour I’ve spent with Piper has returned hours of time and thousands in pipeline.”

She also pushes back on the old tradeoff marketers face choosing between volume and quality.

“That tradeoff is outdated. You can have both now. Piper lets us focus human effort where it matters most, while scaling personalized engagement everywhere else.”

In today’s resource-constrained environment, AI SDR agents like Piper make it possible to scale without compromise—ensuring every lead gets the right follow-up, without sacrificing focus or quality.
