The assistant responds to questions, objections, and even “I’m not the right person” messages. When a lead is qualified, the AI Assistant books a meeting directly on the corresponding sales representative’s calendar. The assistant ultimately works alongside marketing teams to ensure every lead is followed up with, nurtured, and qualified.
“Some of our clients have seen up to a 39.5% increase in qualified leads for the same marketing efforts they already undertake without additional headcount”, says Ilan Kasan, Co-Founder and CEO. “Our strength lies in our multi-channel approach. We reach audiences where crucial conversations occur when marketing teams are qualifying their leads.”
