The problem it solves

Every new lead has to be read, judged against your criteria, filed somewhere, and replied to. When leads come in faster than you can review them, good ones sit unanswered and get cold.

Who it fits

Agencies, freelancers, and service businesses that want to screen leads without manual review.

How it works

  1. A new lead comes in through a form or a new row in Google Sheets
  2. The system checks it against your criteria, such as budget and timeline
  3. The lead is filed into the right category in Google Sheets
  4. A personalized email is sent to the lead and your internal team is notified
What you get

Leads sorted and answered before you look

New leads get checked against your criteria, filed into the right category, and greeted with a personalized reply while your team gets notified.

What you get

A sorted lead list in Google Sheets, a personalized reply sent to each lead, and a notification to your team.

What you need

A Google Workspace account for Sheets and Gmail.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
