Lead Qualification Agent

An agent for the awkward gap between "someone filled out the form" and "sales knows what to do next."

Lead Qualification Agent

01 / Challenge

The challenge

Good and bad leads were landing in the same place. Someone had to research the company, judge fit, write the first reply, and update the CRM before the lead went cold.

02 / Solution

What I built

The agent enriches the lead, checks fit, writes a short summary, drafts the reply, and sends bigger accounts to a person before anything goes out.

03 / Outcome

What changed

Sales starts with context instead of a blank tab. The CRM is cleaner, and the team can see why a lead was routed one way or another.

Workflow

How the agent does the work.

  1. Step 01

    Capture inbound lead from forms, inboxes, or CRM events.

  2. Step 02

    Research company profile, role, intent, and likely fit.

  3. Step 03

    Score the lead and generate a short decision summary.

  4. Step 04

    Draft outreach, notify Slack, and prepare CRM updates.

Build pattern

What changes when this becomes software.

This is a representative build pattern. Private client details stay anonymized, so the proof focuses on workflow evidence, review controls, and implementation shape.

Before

Good and bad leads were landing in the same place. Someone had to research the company, judge fit, write the first reply, and update the CRM before the lead went cold.

After

Sales starts with context instead of a blank tab. The CRM is cleaner, and the team can see why a lead was routed one way or another.

The agent handles

  • Capture inbound lead from forms, inboxes, or CRM events.
  • Research company profile, role, intent, and likely fit.
  • Score the lead and generate a short decision summary.

Humans stay in control

  • Approve sensitive actions before they leave the system
  • Review low-confidence or unusual cases
  • Adjust rules when the workflow changes

Likely tools

Guardrails

  • Keep irreversible or sensitive steps behind approval.
  • Log the inputs, output, and reason for each important decision.
  • Route low-confidence work to a person instead of forcing automation.

Success signals

  • Lead response time drops
  • CRM notes become cleaner
  • Sales can see routing reasons

Proof to review before trusting it

  • Workflow map showing the trigger, context sources, decision points, and final handoff.
  • Review screen outline showing what the human approves, edits, rejects, or escalates.
  • Run log shape covering inputs, output, confidence, source references, and action history.

I can help figure out what should be automated, where a human still belongs, and what the first useful version should look like.
