Interactive workflow demo

Lead Intake + Qualification

Watch a new inquiry become a structured lead, pass through explicit fit rules, receive the right next step, and land in the correct queue without making the prospect repeat themselves.

Simulation mode Home Services
Wednesday · 10:06 AM
A new website lead asks for help fixing a messy estimate-request process.

The system should organize the inquiry and route it based on evidence, not on whether the message “sounds promising.”

Watch the handoff happen

Run the workflow. The active source, decision, output, and exception will highlight together.

Ready
01

New inquiry

What the prospect submitted

Company Waiting
Website form

Mesa Ridge Landscaping · 9 employees · residential + light commercial.

Problem Waiting
Website form

Estimate requests come from calls, texts, Facebook, and the website. We copy them into a spreadsheet.

Goal Waiting
Website form

We want one intake process and fewer missed follow-ups. We are not looking for a giant CRM replacement.

02

Qualification rules

How fit is determined

  1. 01
    Capture the inquiry

    Preserve the original submission and create a stable lead record.

  2. 02
    Extract the actual problem

    Separate the workflow pain from general company description.

  3. 03
    Structure the useful fields

    Store company context, current process, and stated goal independently.

  4. 04
    Apply explicit fit rules

    Check whether the request is in scope, actionable, and supported by the prospect’s own description.

  5. 05
    Respect the stated constraint

    The prospect explicitly does not want a giant CRM replacement; preserve that boundary.

  6. 06
    Select a relevant proof point

    Match the quote/estimate workflow demo instead of sending generic marketing material.

  7. 07
    Prepare the sales handoff

    Package the context so the next conversation starts where the form ended.

Qualification + audit

What happened + what sales should review

0 exceptions
Every action will be recorded here as it happens.

Follow the highlight across all four panels. The point is to show exactly where information moves, where rules apply, and where a human still owns the judgment call.

The point is the handoff, not the shiny robot

What actually changes

The automation is useful because the work moves cleanly from request to action — with less manual handling and clear human boundaries.

Before Manual handoffs
  • Lead details arrive in one long message
  • Sales has to reread and reinterpret every inquiry
  • Promising leads and poor-fit leads share the same inbox
  • Prospects repeat information during the next conversation
After Connected handoffs
  • Original inquiry is preserved alongside structured fields
  • Qualification uses explicit rules and evidence
  • The most relevant proof point is selected automatically
  • The next conversation starts with context already attached
