How AI turned broker teasers and CIMs into Salesforce opportunities in 30–40 seconds.

Challenge

  • Broker deal flow arrived by email, with teasers and CIMs buried inside inconsistent attachment packs.
  • Email chain containing several messages, making it difficult to extract the accurate and latest information.
  • Analysts had to read unstructured documents to extract company name, industry, revenue, EBITDA, and other key facts.
  • Creating the Salesforce opportunity by hand made first-pass intake a ~30-minute, copy-paste workflow.

Solution

  • Email + attachment detection: Monitored inbound broker emails and identified the relevant teaser/CIM files for processing.
  • Document extraction: Pulled text from teaser/CIM documents and parsed the fields needed for intake.
  • Structured field capture: Extracted company name, industry, revenue, EBITDA, and other required details.
  • Salesforce automation: Created a new opportunity automatically, shifting manual work to review and exceptions.
