The problem it solves

Reviewing every inbound lead by hand to figure out how serious they are and what to say back eats up time your sales team could spend closing deals. During busy periods leads pile up and replies get delayed, which costs you momentum right when it matters most.

Who it fits

Startups or small sales teams who want new leads qualified and answered without manual review.

How it works

  1. A new lead comes in from your intake source
  2. AI reads and scores the lead based on intent
  3. The lead's details are cleaned and checked
  4. AI drafts a personalized reply matching your tone
  5. The lead is logged to a spreadsheet and the reply can be sent by email
What you get

Leads scored and greeted automatically

Every new lead gets scored, cleaned up, and a personalized reply drafted in your tone, ready to send.

What you get

A scored, logged lead record and a personalized reply ready to send or sent automatically.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, an OpenAI account, and an email account to send replies.

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.
