Lead Gen Agent That Qualifies Before Wasting Sales Time 🔥
Lead generation template from this community captures contact info perfectly. Form submissions, LinkedIn connections, email captures - working great. Sales team problem: "We're drowning in unqualified leads." 180 leads monthly. Sales spending 30 minutes per lead on discovery calls. Realizing 60% completely unqualified after call already happened. 108 wasted calls monthly. 54 hours of sales time burned on leads that should never have been passed through. THE PROBLEM: Lead gen template optimizes for volume. More leads = better, right? Sales reality: More unqualified leads = worse. They want 50 qualified leads, not 180 random contacts. Template captures: Name, email, company, interest indicated. Sales needs to know: Company size, budget range, decision authority, actual need, timeline, tech stack compatibility. Gap between captured data and qualification requirements creates sales bottleneck. THE EXTENSION: Added intelligent qualification layer between capture and sales routing. Lead submitted → Company research initiated → Annual revenue estimated → Tech stack identified → Budget range calculated → Decision maker verified → Qualification score assigned → Only qualified leads reach sales. THE QUALIFICATION PROCESS: Company domain → LinkedIn analysis → Revenue/employee data → Tech stack check → Funding stage → Qualification scorecard. Scorecard evaluates: Company size match, budget range, tech compatibility, decision authority, timeline. Score above 70: Sales immediately. Score 40-69: Nurture. Below 40: Disqualify politely. THE RESULTS: 180 leads monthly → 72 qualified, 68 nurture, 40 disqualified. Sales team now gets 72 qualified leads instead of 180 random contacts. Quality over quantity. Discovery call success: 40% before → 85% after qualification. Sales talking to actually qualified prospects. Sales time saved: 54 hours monthly (108 unqualified calls eliminated). Revenue impact: Sales focusing on qualified opportunities closed 30% more deals. Better pipeline quality drives better close rates.
