At Popl, we believe that great products are built by teams who use them relentlessly. So when our event lead capture platform was ready to start testing, we handed it to our own BDR team with one challenge - prove its power in the real world. The results, were nothing short of remarkable...

We deployed Popl's AI badge scanner and lead capture app across the team, set up lead qualifiers, activated event campaigns, and sent them out to events. No booth. No banners. No setup crew. Just the product in action.

The result?
- $2.5M in pipeline generated in under 60 days
- 200X ROI in qualified pipeline vs event spend (not a typo)
- 38 hours saved by eliminating manual work and enrichment
