3.3.1SPEED_TO_LEAD

A lead is worth 8x more in the first 60 seconds.

Industry data is brutal: the odds of qualifying drop 80% after 5 minutes. We get a real human (or a very good AI) on the phone in under a minute — every time.

5 minutes is the difference between a customer and a competitor's customer.

Harvard Business Review nailed this in 2011 and nothing has changed: companies that respond within an hour are 7x more likely to qualify the lead. Within 5 minutes, 21x.

Yet the median B2B response time is still 47 hours. The lead has bought from someone else, twice.

We deploy a hybrid stack — AI voice agent + SMS + your sales rep — that gets a human-grade response on the lead in under 60 seconds. Every form, every channel, 24/7.

How it actually runs.

STEP_01 · TRIGGER
Lead enters the brain
Form, call, chat, ad — any source, single entry point.
$ lead.received → bus.publish
STEP_02 · ENRICH
Identity + intent in <2s
Clearbit, Apollo, LinkedIn, your CRM, intent data — all merged.
$ enrich --sources=4 --timeout=2s
STEP_03 · CONTACT
AI voice + SMS in parallel
Voice attempts call. SMS sent simultaneously. Whichever connects, owns the thread.
$ contact --voice=ai --sms=parallel
STEP_04 · QUALIFY
BANT in 4 questions
AI asks budget, authority, need, timing. Conversational, not robotic.
$ qualify --framework=bant --max-questions=4

Book or hand off
Qualified → calendar. Hot → live rep. Unqualified → nurture sequence.
$ route --decision-tree=v3
