The problem it solves

New leads come into HubSpot, but deciding who should follow up often depends on someone manually reviewing details and playing traffic cop. That delay means leads sit untouched, and by the time a rep reaches out, the prospect may have lost interest.

Who it fits

Sales teams with more than one rep who need leads assigned quickly and fairly.

How it works

  1. A new lead is created in HubSpot
  2. The lead's details are pulled and cleaned up
  3. The lead is logged in Airtable for tracking
  4. AI reviews the lead against your sales team's regions and expertise to pick the best rep
  5. The assigned rep is notified in Slack and by email, and HubSpot is updated with the assignment
What you get

Leads matched to the rep who fits best

Every new lead in your pipeline gets matched to the sales rep best suited to close it, and that rep is notified right away to follow up.

What you get

An assigned lead with an AI-written summary, logged in Airtable and updated in HubSpot.

What you need

A HubSpot account, an Airtable account, an OpenAI or Google Gemini account, Slack, 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.
