A technology consulting firm needed a way to automate its sales funnel and meeting scheduling process. The firm received high volumes of customer inquiries, but faced several challenges:
$
Delayed responses to leads, resulting in lost opportunities.
$
Manual email follow-ups, increasing workload for sales reps.
$
Inefficient scheduling, requiring back-and-forth emails between multiple team members.
$
Meeting coordination complexity, ensuring at least a Sales Manager and a Technical Lead were present.

The Solution: Intelligent Sales Funnel & Automated Scheduling

1.

Automatic Response for New Leads

Upon receiving a new customer inquiry, an automated email was triggered, containing:

Company intro & services overview

The email was sent within 30 seconds of lead submission, ensuring instant engagement.

2.

Smart Availability Matching for Meetings
