The problem

Without a proper on-call rotation system, sales teams face these challenges daily:

Inbound leads sitting unanswered for hours
Arguments about whose turn it is to take a demo
No system for fairly distributing inbound opportunities
Missed revenue from slow response times

The solution

Shifter solves these problems with automated on-call rotations in Slack:

Automated @demo-duty rotation
Fair distribution of inbound leads
Instant notification when it is your turn
Quick overrides when reps are in meetings
How it works

Use @demo-duty in Slack

A high-value lead fills out your demo request form. The SDR team pings @demo-duty in Slack, and the rep on rotation picks it up within minutes.

1

Create your rotation

Set up @demo-duty with your SDRs or AEs and set how often the lead-handling rotation flips.

2

Shifter rotates automatically

Inbound leads get routed to whoever is @demo-duty right now, with no manual Slack pinging to figure out whose turn it is.

3

Handle exceptions easily

Rep stuck in back-to-back meetings? Override the rotation for an hour so leads never sit unanswered.

FAQs

Sales Teams FAQs

Can Shifter split rotations by lead source or region?

Yes — run separate rotations like @demo-duty-us and @demo-duty-emea, each rotating independently.

Does this replace our CRM's lead routing?

No — Shifter handles who's responsible for picking up leads in Slack in real time; your CRM can still own formal lead assignment and reporting.
