Start small

Three pilots worth testing first

Reusable workflow pattern

Turn the problem into a controlled workflow.

1. Capture

Collect inquiry details, source, needs, budget/timing signals, and prior conversations.

2. Assist

AI summarizes the lead, suggests questions, and drafts tailored follow-up or proposal content.

3. Review

A person checks fit, pricing, scope, promises, and any claim about the product or service.

4. Follow Up & Track

Send approved outreach, update the CRM, and measure response and conversion rates.
