3 ways a chatbot can help you with lead qualification

Is your sales team still wasting time contacting unqualified leads? Every hour a sales rep spends chasing a prospect who’s not ready to convert slows down your pipeline and drains their motivation.

The solution: reallocate your team’s effort.

By adding a AI-powered chatbot at the top of your sales funnel, you can automate that initial contact with leads coming from your website—whether organic or campaign-based—and use it as a first filter. This way, your sales reps only engage with leads that actually have the potential to become customers.

This approach boosts team efficiency and speeds up the conversion process. Leads who interact with chatbots move through the funnel 35% faster.

Why? Because a chatbot offers instant, personalised answers, where previously the user had to fill out a form and wait—or call a phone number, which can feel too direct for a cold lead.

3 KEY TASKS A CHATBOT CAN AUTOMATE FOR YOUR SALES TEAM

1. INSTANTLY ANSWER FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The user doesn’t need to dig through endless pages on your website (unless they want to). The chatbot is always available to resolve doubts in real time: features, pricing, product comparisons, discounts, and more.

2. RECOMMEND PERSONALISED PRODUCTS OR SOLUTIONS

Imagine a user lands on your site looking for a solution to improve their customer support team’s efficiency. The chatbot can ask how many agents they have, which channels they use (email, chat, phone), and whether they already use any tools. Based on that, it can suggest the most suitable software or plan. Just like a sales rep would—but fully automated.

3. CAPTURE DATA AND SEND IT STRAIGHT TO YOUR CRM

During the conversation, the chatbot can collect their name, role, company and industry, and route qualified leads to a sales rep. How? By creating a deal in your CRM and assigning it to the right salesperson.

UNLOCK THE FULL POTENTIAL OF CONVERSATIONAL AI

A chatbot can easily become the “top hire” on your sales team.

If configured correctly, it can handle the top layer of your sales funnel: segmenting leads, recommending personalised solutions, and automatically creating opportunities in your CRM.
