Qualify inbound leads with an AI phone call and log to Google Sheets

The problem it solves

When a lead fills out your form, every minute you wait to call them back lowers your odds of ever reaching them. Your team can't jump on the phone the instant someone raises their hand, so promising leads go cold before anyone follows up.

Who it fits

Sales teams and service businesses that get inbound leads through a web form and need to qualify them fast.

How it works

  1. Someone submits their contact info on your web form
  2. The system checks that the phone number is valid
  3. An AI assistant calls the lead right away and asks about their needs, budget, and timeline
  4. The system waits for the call to finish, whether it connects or goes to voicemail
  5. The lead's answers and call outcome are saved to a spreadsheet
What you get

Leads qualified before they go cold

Every new lead gets a call right away to ask about their needs, budget, and timeline, with answers logged for your team.

What you get

A spreadsheet row showing what each qualified lead needs, their budget and urgency, and the call outcome.

What you need

A Vapi voice AI account with phone calling enabled and a Google account for Sheets.

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.
