The problem

Leads go cold before your sales team opens their inbox.

The research is clear: 80% of conversion probability evaporates if a lead isn't contacted within the first 120 seconds. Your team checks email every hour. Leads arrive at 9pm and get a response at 9am. By then, they've already booked with someone else.

  • "We spend hours each week researching leads before the first call"
  • "Sales reps waste time on unqualified leads while hot ones wait"
  • "Inbound form submissions sit in a shared inbox with no ownership"
  • "We have no consistent follow-up sequence — it depends on the rep"
  • "We don't know which channel our best leads come from"

How it works

How it works: from form submission to sales-ready lead

The moment a lead arrives, the AI agent qualifies intent, enriches the record, scores fit, sends a personalised first touch, and routes the lead to the right person — all before your team takes their first sip of coffee.

Questions

Common questions about ai lead qualification & outreach.

What data sources does the enrichment layer use?+

The enrichment layer connects to approved business data sources to pull company size, industry, funding stage, technology stack, and intent signals. All enrichment sources are documented and configurable — no black-box vendor data.

Does the AI send the first outreach email or does a human do it?+

Configurable per workflow. In most deployments, the AI sends a personalised first touch immediately on receipt, then a human rep handles the follow-up conversation. Some clients automate the full sequence up to the booked meeting.

How is the ICP (ideal customer profile) defined?+

During the audit phase, we document your ICP criteria — company size, industry, role, geography, budget signals, and any disqualifying factors. These rules are encoded in the scoring model and can be adjusted as your ICP evolves.

What happens to leads that don't meet the ICP criteria?+

Below-threshold leads are routed to a nurture sequence rather than discarded. The sequence keeps them warm with relevant content until a qualifying event (e.g., company growth, role change, new product launch) triggers re-qualification.

How does the AI briefing note work when routing to a sales rep?+

Before the rep's first call, they receive a structured briefing: company summary, contact history, lead source, qualification score, and recommended conversation openers. It takes 60 seconds to read and replaces 20 minutes of manual research.
