Never lose a lead to slow follow-up again. Automate qualification, sequences, and CRM updates - step by step.
Step-by-step guide
-
Map your lead sources
List every channel leads come from: website forms, WhatsApp, social media, referrals, events. Each needs an intake configuration.
-
Define qualification criteria
What makes a lead qualified? Budget, timeline, authority, need. Configure these as structured questions the agent asks.
-
Design follow-up sequences
Create timed follow-up templates: initial response, 24h check-in, 3-day follow-up, 7-day re-engagement, 30-day nurture.
-
Configure CRM sync
Every interaction updates your CRM: lead stage, qualification data, next follow-up date, and conversation notes.
-

Qualified leads are offered available meeting slots. The agent handles the back-and-forth and confirms in the calendar.
