The problem it solves

Facebook lead forms fill your pipeline with casual clickers who never respond, wasting your sales team's time chasing dead ends. Sorting real prospects from noise by hand slows down your whole follow-up process.

Who it fits

Sales teams and agencies running Facebook or Instagram lead ads who want only real prospects in their CRM.

How it works

  1. When a new Facebook lead comes in, the automation captures their name, phone, and email
  2. It checks your Zoho CRM to avoid creating a duplicate contact
  3. It sends the lead a WhatsApp message asking them to confirm interest
  4. AI reads their reply and classifies it as confirmed, declined, or needing a human
  5. Your CRM record updates automatically so only real leads reach your sales team
What you get

Leads that turn out to be real prospects

Your sales team spends their time only on Facebook leads who have already confirmed they are genuinely interested.

What you get

A CRM record that only reflects leads confirmed as genuinely interested.

What you need

A Facebook Ads account, a WhatsApp-enabled Twilio number, a Zoho CRM account, and a Google Gemini API key.

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.
