Lead-to-Cash stages 1–2: Capture & Qualify
AI call answering & lead capture for small businesses
Every call, text and web inquiry answered in seconds, day or night. Your AI agent asks the questions your team would ask, logs every lead in your CRM, and books the appointment or alerts the right person.
Leads don't wait
Most customers hire whoever responds first. These are the moments growing businesses lose them.
Calls during a job
The phone rings while your team is on site, and the caller hangs up and dials the next company.
After hours and weekends
Inquiries that arrive at night or on Saturday wait until someone is back in the office.
Buried in the inbox
Form emails, social media leads and texts pile up in shared inboxes, and some never get answered.
No record of where leads came from
Details get scribbled on paper and typed in later, so you can't see which marketing works.
What your AI agent handles
Set up around your services, your questions and your rules, not a generic script.
Texts back missed calls
If a call can't be answered, the caller gets an instant text so the conversation keeps going instead of going to a competitor.
Responds to web and social leads
Website forms, social media lead ads and email inquiries are read, sorted and answered in seconds, in a consistent format.
Qualifies with your questions
Service needed, address, timeline and anything else you ask today. Hot leads are flagged, and poor fits are handled politely.
Logs everything in your CRM
Contact details, lead source, a call summary and the answers to your questions, checked against existing customers to avoid duplicates.
Books or routes the next step
Books the appointment on your calendar, or alerts the right person by text or email with everything they need to follow up.
How it works
From first contact to a qualified lead in your CRM, without anyone stopping what they're doing.
Step 1
An inquiry arrives
A call, text, website form, social lead or email.
Step 2
AI responds in seconds
By voice or text, 24 hours a day, in your business's voice.
Step 3
It qualifies the lead
Asks your questions and captures the details you need to quote.
Step 4
The lead is logged
Added to your CRM with its source, summary and no duplicates.
Step 5
The next step happens
An appointment is booked, a quote is started, or your team is alerted.
You stay in control
- Your script, your rules. You approve what the agent says, which questions it asks and what it should never promise.
- A person whenever it's needed. Callers can ask for a human, and urgent or unusual requests go straight to your team.
- Business-hours settings. Decide what happens during the day, after hours, on weekends and on holidays.
- Everything is reviewable. Call summaries and transcripts let you check quality and coach the agent over time.
- Your accounts, your data. Built on accounts in your name and documented, so you're never locked in.
Works with what you already use
- Your CRM
- Business phone & cloud PBX
- Website forms
- Social media lead ads
- Shared email inbox
- Calendar & scheduling
- Business text messaging
A good fit for
Home services and trades, professional services, medical and dental offices, real estate, and other local businesses that depend on inbound calls and quote requests.
Getting started
Most clients start with one lead source, such as after-hours calls or the website quote form, and run it side by side with their team before going live. See how engagements work.
Will callers know they're talking to AI?
We recommend being upfront. The agent introduces itself as your virtual assistant, and callers can ask for a person at any time. Where required, calls include a recording notice.
What happens when the AI can't answer a question?
It does what a good receptionist would: takes a detailed message, transfers the call to a person during business hours, or alerts your team right away by text or email, based on rules you set.
Do I need a new phone system or CRM?
Usually not. We connect to the phone system, CRM, website forms and calendar you already use. If something is missing, we recommend an option that fits your size and budget.
What does it cost?
After the free consultation, you get a fixed price for the pilot. Ongoing phone and AI usage is billed by those providers to accounts in your name, and we estimate it for you up front, so there are no surprises.
How quickly can it be running?
A pilot on one lead source, such as after-hours calls or your website form, typically runs within a few weeks. It runs side by side with your team before it goes live with customers.
