Fill Your Sales Pipeline With Buyers Ready to Purchase CNC Machines
AI-powered lead generation built exclusively for CNC machine dealers. Get qualified meetings on your calendar while your competitors are still cold calling.
The Math That's Costing You Deals
A plant manager searches Google for "5-axis machining center dealer" in your territory. Your competitor's website appears first. They click, browse, and submit an RFQ—all before your sales rep finishes their cold call route.
The Friday Afternoon Problem
3:47 PM Friday: A plant manager submits an RFQ on your website for a Swiss lathe. Your rep sees it Monday at 9 AM. They call—voicemail. They email—no response. That plant manager already talked to two other dealers over the weekend.
In capital equipment sales, the first dealer to respond wins 50% of the time. A 40-hour response delay isn't a minor inconvenience—it's a systematic way to lose half your inbound opportunities.
The Trade Show ROI Problem
You spent $35,000 on IMTS. Collected 200 badge scans. Your rep sent a follow-up email to all 200: "Thanks for stopping by our booth!"
8 responses. 2 demos. Zero closed deals six months later. That's $17,500 per opportunity—and those opportunities went cold because a generic follow-up can't compete with targeted nurturing.
The Junk Lead Problem
Your website gets 30 "Contact Us" submissions per month. Your sales team calls them all: 18 are students doing research, 8 are hobbyists, 3 are competitors fishing for pricing.
Your team just spent 40+ hours chasing 29 dead ends to find 1 real buyer. That's not a lead generation system—it's a time destruction system.
What Actually Fills a CNC Dealer's Pipeline in 2025
Plant managers and procurement teams don't wait for your sales rep to show up anymore. They research online first—typing queries into Google, asking AI assistants like ChatGPT for recommendations, comparing dealers before they ever pick up the phone.
If your dealership doesn't appear when they search, you don't exist to these buyers.

AI-Powered Lead Generation
Qualified meetings on your reps' calendars with buyers who have budget, timeline, and a real project.
Stop chasing. Start closing. Our system brings qualified buyers directly to your sales team.
Search visibility that brings buyers to you
When a plant manager searches "Mazak dealer in Ohio" or "5-axis VMC service near me," your website needs to appear—not your competitor's.
Targeted advertising that filters out tire-kickers
Campaigns on Google and LinkedIn targeting decision-makers actively researching equipment—not students or hobbyists.
AI-personalized outreach that starts conversations
Prospect lists matching your ideal customer profile with personalized messages crafted by AI for each prospect.
24/7 qualification that books meetings while you sleep
AI chatbot engages visitors around the clock, asks qualifying questions, and books serious buyers directly.
Automated nurturing that converts prospects
Prospects who aren't ready enter sequences with relevant content based on their specific interests.
What This Delivers
Lead source tracking showing cost per meeting, cost per demo, cost per closed deal. Not vanity metrics.
AI Knowledge Management
Your entire team able to answer any technical question instantly.
The Problem It Solves
You carry 6 brands across 40+ machine models. Each machine has a 300-page manual. Your technical knowledge is scattered across thousands of PDF pages.
New hires take 4-6 months to get competent. Sales reps say "let me research that and call you back"—and sometimes those callbacks never happen.
How It Works
We ingest every technical manual, spec sheet, and troubleshooting document—could be 50,000+ pages. Your team asks questions in plain English:
- •"What's the max bar capacity on the Citizen L20?"
- •"How do I troubleshoot alarm code 3041 on a Mazak?"
Mobile-ready — Field technicians can access the knowledge base from anywhere, getting instant answers on service calls.
Where It Integrates

Visitors ask technical questions, get real answers, and the system captures their contact info.
Sales CRM
Reps get instant answers during customer calls without putting anyone on hold.
Service portal
Technicians search alarm codes and get troubleshooting procedures with parts lists.
Internal communication

What This Delivers
Real-World Scenarios
These scenarios show how the systems work for different dealer situations. Each represents a common challenge and the measurable outcomes these solutions deliver.
Cutting Trade Show Dependency
The Situation
A regional distributor carrying three major brands spends $80,000 annually on trade shows—their primary lead source. Each show generates 4-5 decent opportunities. Cost per qualified opportunity: over $15,000.
What Gets Implemented
AI-powered outbound identifying prospects actively researching machines in their territory. Personalized email and LinkedIn outreach. Automated qualification and meeting booking. SEO for brand-specific searches.
The Outcome
18-22 qualified meetings per month. Trade show budget cut in half. Cost per qualified opportunity drops from $15,000+ to under $800. Pipeline becomes predictable.
Service Team Handling 35% More Calls
The Situation
A single-brand distributor's service team spends significant time hunting for documentation. A simple alarm code lookup takes 30-45 minutes because manuals are scattered with inconsistent naming.
What Gets Implemented
RAG-powered knowledge system ingesting every service manual, alarm code reference, parts diagram, and troubleshooting guide. Mobile-accessible interface for field technicians.
The Outcome
Alarm code lookups drop from 45 minutes to under 30 seconds. Same team handles 35% more service calls without adding headcount. Customer satisfaction improves.
New Hire Productive in 3 Weeks
The Situation
A multi-location distributor carrying 8 brands faces a perpetual training bottleneck. New sales engineers need 6 months before they're competent across the product line.
What Gets Implemented
AI assistant trained on every product spec, comparison guide, application note, and sales playbook across all brands. New hires get instant access to institutional knowledge.
The Outcome
New sales engineers handle customer calls confidently within 3 weeks. Senior reps reclaim hours previously spent on basic mentoring. System tracks frequent questions to identify training gaps.
Tripling Demo Bookings
The Situation
A dealer averages 4-5 demos per month from all sources. Sales team spends more time prospecting than closing. Pipeline is unpredictable month to month.
What Gets Implemented
AI-personalized outbound campaigns targeting manufacturing companies. Qualification chatbot on website. SEO for geographic terms. Answer Engine Optimization for AI assistant recommendations.
The Outcome
14 demos booked in the first month—nearly triple previous average. ROI positive within 60 days. Sales team shifts from hunting to closing.
Moving Used Inventory in 6 Weeks
The Situation
12 used machines sitting on the floor for 6+ months. Listed on the website, but nobody calls. Floor plan interest accumulating. Capital tied up.
What Gets Implemented
Targeted outreach campaigns identifying prospects who've searched for those specific models in the past 90 days. Personalized emails with photos, specs, inspection reports. SEO for used equipment searches.
The Outcome
Used machines move in 6 weeks instead of 6 months. Floor plan costs drop significantly. Capital freed for inventory that turns faster.
Multi-Location Lead Routing
The Situation
A distributor with 5 locations across 3 states has a routing problem. Leads get sent to wrong reps—Boston leads go to New York, Mazak leads go to the DMG specialist. Response times suffer.
What Gets Implemented
Automated lead routing based on zip code (nearest location), brand interest (brand specialist), and machine type (product specialist). Real-time routing with instant alerts.
The Outcome
Zero mis-routed leads. Response time drops from hours to minutes. Each rep only sees relevant leads. Close rates improve with right expert handling each inquiry.
Recovering $28,000 in Co-Op Dollars
The Situation
A dealer spends $60,000 per year on Google advertising. OEM offers 50% co-op reimbursement, but they can't prove which leads came from which brand campaigns. Leaving $30,000 on the table.
What Gets Implemented
Campaign tracking that tags every ad by brand, campaign, and source. CRM integration that follows leads through to closed deals. Monthly reports formatted for OEM co-op claims.
The Outcome
Dealer claims $28,000 in co-op reimbursement the first year. Effective advertising cost drops by nearly half. With better ROI math, budget can increase while maintaining profitability.
AI Service Triage Handling 60% of Calls
The Situation
Customers call the service line with alarm codes. Dispatcher doesn't know every brand's codes. Calls get transferred multiple times. Customers wait 20-30 minutes. A 5-minute fix takes an hour.
What Gets Implemented
AI-powered service triage via phone and text. Customers provide machine model and alarm code. System instantly returns troubleshooting procedure, parts needed, and fix time estimate.
The Outcome
60% of service inquiries get resolved via AI without human intervention. Service team handles significantly more calls without adding headcount. Wait time drops from 30 minutes to under 2.

Is This Right For Your Dealership?
We're selective about who we work with because focus is what makes us effective.
This works well for dealers who:
- Carry metalworking or woodworking machinery (mills, lathes, routers, lasers, press brakes, EDM, grinders)
- Want to grow revenue without proportionally adding sales headcount
- Have sales cycles of 3-18 months and need systems that nurture prospects over time
- Generate most current leads from trade shows and cold calls
- Need better lead quality, not just higher lead volume
- Have technical documentation scattered across thousands of pages
- Want to see exactly where marketing dollars generate revenue
This probably isn't the right fit if:
- You're a job shop or contract manufacturer (we work exclusively with dealers and distributors)
- Your current pipeline is consistently full and you're turning away business
- You need results in 30 days (our systems take 4-8 weeks to build and 60-90 days to show meaningful ROI)
- You're looking for a vendor to hand tasks to rather than a partner to build systems with
Questions We Get Asked
Clear answers to common questions about working with us.
The Dealers Getting Passed By
Right now, plant managers in your territory are searching Google for the machines you sell. They're asking ChatGPT which dealers have the best service reputation. They're comparing options before they ever call anyone.
Some dealers in your territory are showing up in those searches. They're getting recommended by AI assistants. They're booking demos while their competitors are still planning cold call routes.
The machines you carry aren't the problem. The question is whether buyers can find you when they're ready to purchase.
