FrankCrum’s marketing team turned to Popl after realizing their event lead capture process was stuck in the past—relying on paper business cards and purchased attendee lists. Seeking a modern, seamless solution that integrated with their CRM, they discovered Popl on LinkedIn. Its sleek mobile app, AI badge scanner, and native HubSpot integration stood out immediately. The team quickly adopted the platform to digitize and streamline their lead capture process at trade shows and events.

Since implementing Popl, the results have been transformative. The tool has bridged the gap between sales and marketing, delivering real-time lead syncing, intuitive user experiences, and a professional on-site presence. Even the transition from manual methods was smooth, thanks to Popl’s simplicity and standout customer support—highlighted by a responsive call support experience on the floor during a live event.
