The challenge

The start-up, specializing in AI-driven sales and marketing, faced significant challenges in managing its growing number of leads and staying competitive.

- Manual lead processing: The team spent hours manually filtering and validating leads from emails, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities.

- High volume of leads: The sheer number of incoming leads made it difficult to prioritize and engage with potential customers effectively.

- Lack of automation: The absence of an automated system for outreach and meeting scheduling resulted in delayed responses and lost sales.

Our solution

We developed an AI-powered MVP to automate the entire lead management process, from filtering and validation to outreach and meeting scheduling. Here’s how we addressed their challenges.

ActiveCampaign and OpenAI integration

Automated lead filtering

We developed a system that automatically reads, sorts, and filters incoming leads from Active Campaign based on the client’s specific criteria. This eliminates the need for manual sorting, saving time and reducing errors.

Why this matters: Automating lead filtering ensures that your team can focus on high-potential leads, improving efficiency and reducing the risk of missing valuable opportunities.

Technical deep dive: Using Laravel and Inertia.js, we created a responsive and interactive system that seamlessly integrates with Active Campaign, ensuring smooth processing of leads.

Automatic AI email filtering

AI-driven email outreach

The AI generates personalized outreach emails for validated leads, increasing engagement and response rates. This personalized approach ensures each email is tailored to the lead’s data, enhancing the likelihood of a positive response.

Why this matters: Personalized communication at scale is crucial for engaging potential customers. AI-driven emails ensure consistency and relevance, leading to higher engagement and conversion rates.

Technical deep dive: We used OpenAI to create dynamic, context-aware emails that adapt to each lead’s specific information, ensuring relevant and engaging content.

Automatic OpenAI email responses

AI chat with leads

The AI maintains conversations with leads who respond, using context-aware AI-generated responses and historical data to keep interactions engaging until a meeting is scheduled. This ensures consistent and timely communication, crucial for converting leads into customers.

Why this matters: Timely and consistent communication is key to maintaining lead interest. AI handles the initial interactions, allowing your team to focus on high-value tasks.

Technical deep dive: The AI is designed to handle multi-step conversations, ensuring smooth transitions from initial contact to meeting booking.

Integrating Calendly with Laravel and Filament

Automated meeting scheduling

We integrated Calendly to automate meeting scheduling, eliminating manual coordination. This streamlined process reduces delays and ensures a hassle-free experience for both the client and leads.

Why this matters: Automated scheduling saves time and reduces the likelihood of errors, ensuring that leads can easily book meetings at their convenience.

Technical deep dive: Calendly’s API enabled a fully automated scheduling process, creating a seamless experience from conversation to meeting setup. (blog post coming soon)
