# Lead Intake Automation

## Stop Losing Leads.

AI agents that respond to inquiries instantly, qualify prospects, and book calls — so no lead slips through the cracks.

## The Problem

Every hour a lead sits without a response, your chances of closing it drop. Research shows that responding within 5 minutes makes you **21x more likely** to qualify a lead than waiting 30 minutes.

But you’re on a job site. You’re in a meeting. You’re at dinner with your family. The lead comes in at 9pm on a Thursday, and by the time you see it Friday morning, they’ve already called your competitor.

This isn’t a discipline problem — it’s a capacity problem. You can’t be available 24/7. An agent can.

## What the Agent Does

Your lead intake agent monitors every inbound channel — web forms, email, text, even voicemail transcriptions — and responds immediately with a personalized message.

It asks your qualifying questions, captures structured data (name, company, project details, timeline, budget range), logs everything in your CRM or tracking system, and alerts you when a qualified lead is ready for your attention.

**For qualified leads:** The agent can book a call directly on your calendar, send a preliminary information packet, or hand off to your quoting workflow.

**For unqualified leads:** A polite, professional response — no lead feels ignored, and you don’t waste time on bad fits.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How fast does the agent respond to new leads?

Instantly. Whether a lead comes in at 2pm or 2am, the agent responds within seconds — via email, text, or web chat depending on your setup.

Yes. The agent asks qualifying questions you define — budget, timeline, project type, location — and only escalates leads that match your criteria.

### What happens to leads that don't qualify?

They're logged and tagged in your CRM. Nothing gets lost — unqualified leads get a polite response and can be revisited later.

### Does this replace my existing contact form?

It works with your existing form. The agent monitors form submissions, emails, or whatever intake channel you use. No website changes required.
