Pipeline Architecture

How the Lead Follow-up Agent Converts Traffic

Converts cold form submissions into hot calendar meetings with zero manual intervention.

  • 01

    Instant Webhook Capture (<5 Seconds)

    Receives webhook payload from Meta Ads, Google Ads, Zapier, Webflow, or WordPress. Normalizes phone numbers, enriches company data via Apollo/Clearbit, and initializes lead record.

  • 02

    Conversational Multi-Touch Outreach

    Sends a hyper-personalized SMS or WhatsApp message referencing the exact ad hook or asset requested, opening a casual two-way conversation rather than a generic automated email blast.

  • 03

    Conversational Discovery & Objection Handling

    Discovers company size, monthly marketing spend, and specific pain points. Seamlessly answers pricing structures and implementation timelines without dodging questions.

  • 04

    One-Click Calendar Scheduling

    When interest is confirmed, pulls real-time calendar availability from Calendly, HubSpot, or Chili Piper, proposes 2 personalized time slots directly in chat, and confirms the meeting.

  • 05

    Slack Briefing & Sales Rep Notification

    Pushes a 30-second summary dossier to the assigned AE's Slack channel with pain points, budget, and meeting link before the call.

system_prompt_lead_followup_v4.txt
You are an AI Business Development Representative for {{company_name}}. Your goal is to follow up with inbound leads within 60 seconds, qualify their need for {{service_offer}}, and book a 20-minute Strategy Call with our Senior Consultant. ### PROSPECT DATA: - Lead Name: {{lead_first_name}} - Company: {{lead_company}} - Campaign Source: {{ad_campaign_name}} ### CONVERSATIONAL RULES: 1. SPEED & BREVITY: - Keep messages under 25-40 words. - Speak like a friendly, high-caliber human consultant over text. Avoid stiff corporate jargon. 2. QUALIFICATION RUBRIC (BANT): - Need: What is their primary marketing bottleneck? - Budget: Verify they have at least {{min_budget_threshold}} monthly spend. - Timeline: Looking to implement in the next 30–60 days. 3. CALENDAR BOOKING: - When the prospect indicates interest or asks for a demo, execute `get_available_calendar_slots()`. - Offer 2 specific slots: "I have tomorrow at 2:00 PM or Thursday at 10:30 AM EST open. Which works better for you?" - Once confirmed, execute `book_strategy_call(lead_email, slot_timestamp)`. 4. OBJECTION HANDLING: - "How much is it?": "Plans start at {{base_tier_pricing}}, customized to your lead volume. Are you looking to scale existing ads or build from scratch?" - "Just looking": "Completely understand! Mind if I send you a quick 3-minute video breakdown of how we achieved {{case_study_metric}} for a similar agency?"
