Companies using a “sales-first” model have 70% higher customer retention rates, compared to self-service-only models. This is particularly true for B2C businesses offering recurring services, such as personalized fitness plans or financial advisory, where ongoing relationships are critical.
But driving more calls with your sales team isn’t always as simple as it sounds, otherwise your account managers will have hectic calendars with prospects, right?
The problem is many businesses struggle to turn website traffic into meaningful conversations, often losing high-intent prospects due to friction, poor user experience, or unclear booking processes that break the customer journey.
Well, not anymore. Pathmonk helps you capture more leads, reduce drop-offs, and give your sales team the opportunities they need to close deals with powerful AI-driven personalization.
In this article, we’ll explore the common challenges businesses face in getting prospects to book calls and how Pathmonk can help you solve them. Let’s dive in.

Step by step: increasing calls with your Sales team with Pathmonk
1. Define your main goal
Once you’ve logged in, the first step is defining your website’s main goal. In your dashboard, under the AI Engine menu, choose AI Configuration.
Here you will be able to define the primary target of your website, which is what Pathmonk will take as your main conversion goal. Being a Sales-first business, your goal will look like “Request Demo”, “Request a Quote”, “Book appointment”, or even “Calendly event”.
If you need help in this step, we explain how to set up your website main conversion goal in this article (which takes less than 1 minute).
2. Customize AI mode
Below, you will be able to adjust the AI to your needs by choosing Sales Led Growth AI model. This ensures that Pathmonk tailors its strategies and interactions specifically to meet the needs of a SLG-focused business.
Then simply calibrate the speed of conversions. Pathmonk offers three engine calibrations: Turbo Conversions, Amplify Conversions, and Lite Conversions.
For sales-led growth models, Amplify Conversions is recommended. This mode provides a balanced approach to guiding website visitors towards conversion, providing detailed information and addressing concerns along the way.
3. Let our AI create high-converting experiences
Once everything is set up, Pathmonk’s AI takes over, creating engaging and personalized experiences to seamlessly guide your website visitors towards booking a sales appointment, tailored to their specific interests or needs.
What is a Sales-first growth model?
A Sales-first growth model is a business strategy where customer acquisition and revenue generation heavily rely on sales teams guiding prospects through the buying process.
Instead of letting customers directly purchase or try a product, companies using this model focus on booking demos, scheduling consultations, or offering guided product tours to showcase value and close deals.
This approach is common in industries with complex, high-ticket, or customizable products that require personal interaction to address specific needs.
A Sales-led growth business model is characterized by:
- Personalized approach: Each prospect is engaged individually to tailor the pitch to their needs.
- Longer sales cycle: The buying process often involves multiple touchpoints and decision-makers.
- High-touch: Heavy reliance on human interaction, including account executives, customer success reps, and sometimes technical experts.
- Customer segmentation: Focuses on acquiring high-value customers with significant lifetime value.
In comparison, Product-Led Growth (PLG) prioritizes giving users direct access to the product, often through free trials or freemium models, allowing them to experience value independently. PLG emphasizes self-service and rapid time-to-value, making it ideal for scalable, low-friction products.
👉 If your business has a PLG approach, read this article about how Pathmonk can help you scale sales.
While PLG scales quickly because the product does most of the selling, sales-first tends to have longer sales cycles but secures higher-value deals.
Many companies blend these approaches, using PLG for smaller customers while leveraging a sales-first strategy for enterprise or high-value accounts. The choice between the two depends on the product complexity, target audience, and desired customer experience.
What are the roadblocks to booking calls?
The website is often a weak link in sales-led models. Instead of directly driving revenue, its main role is to capture leads—but it’s easy for this to go wrong.
One of the biggest issues is clarity—or lack of it. Visitors need to understand why they should book a call. If your value proposition doesn’t clearly communicate what’s in it for them, they’ll leave without a second thought.
Another common problem is the booking process itself. If it’s clunky, requires too many steps, or doesn’t integrate with tools like a calendar, you’re creating unnecessary friction. People want easy, not effort.
Trust is another sticking point. Without testimonials, case studies, or any sign that you’re credible, visitors might hesitate. Booking a call can feel like a big step, and people need to feel reassured before they commit.
Lack of motivation is another factor. If there’s no clear incentive or urgency to act now, people tend to postpone. “I’ll get to it later” often turns into “I’ll forget about it altogether.”
Targeting plays a role too. If your website is attracting visitors who aren’t ready to take action or who aren’t the right audience, getting them to book a call becomes much harder. Lastly, technical issues can sabotage everything. A slow site, broken forms, or a poor mobile experience can frustrate users and stop the process in its tracks.
Fixing these challenges isn’t complicated, but it does require a good look at how you’re presenting your offer, who you’re targeting, and how easy it is for someone to take the next step.
