Automatically call and qualify new sales leads from Salesforce

As soon as a new lead lands in Salesforce, an AI-powered phone call qualifies them and logs a summary for follow-up.

How the work actually flows

It repeats. Repeats recheck call status.

The problem it solves

You know speed matters when a new lead comes in, but your team can't call everyone within minutes of every form fill. Leads sit untouched while reps are busy, and by the time someone calls, the prospect has cooled off or gone elsewhere.

Who it fits

Sales teams using Salesforce who want every new lead qualified by phone as soon as it comes in.

How it works

  1. Triggers automatically the moment a new lead is created in Salesforce
  2. Places an AI phone call to the lead to ask qualifying questions
  3. Checks in on the call until it's complete
  4. Uses AI to analyze the call transcript for buying intent
  5. Creates a follow-up task in Salesforce with the AI's findings
What you get

Leads who get a qualifying call the moment they arrive

Every new Salesforce lead gets an AI phone call and a qualified follow-up task waiting for your sales team the same day.

What you get

A qualified lead record in Salesforce with a call summary and a follow-up task ready for your sales rep.

What you need

A Salesforce account, a Retell AI account for phone calls, and an OpenAI 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.
