What it is

What a lead qualification assistant does

Inbound B2B requests arrive mixed together: real buyers, existing customers with a support question, partners, job seekers and spam. Someone on the team reads each one, asks the same qualifying questions and forwards it. The assistant does that first pass.

It asks the questions your sales team already asks, in a conversation rather than a long form: company, use case, timing, budget range if you ask for it. It checks the company against enrichment data, scores the lead against your criteria and routes it. Qualified buyers get a booking link or go straight to a rep. Support and partner requests go to the right inbox.

Every conversation, score and routing decision is written to your CRM, so reps start with context. For Portless, agents do pre-call research, update the CRM and score leads automatically, which cut research time per prospect and lifted the team's conversion rate.

Fit check

Is this the right fit?

Where this wins

  • B2B teams with mixed inbound

    Buyers, customers and partners separated and routed without someone reading every message.

  • Sales teams that answer leads too slowly

    Every lead gets a reply and a qualifying conversation right away, day or night.

  • Multilingual inbound

    Leads followed up in their own language. For Dentakay, every inquiry is scored and followed up in the right language.

When NOT to use this

  • You get a few leads a month. A person replying is better.
  • You have no agreed definition of a qualified lead. Agree it with sales first, then automate it.
  • You want the assistant to quote prices or sign deals. It qualifies and routes; people close.
