AI-Driven Lead Qualification System for a Manufacturing Enterprise

The client is a manufacturing enterprise operating in a complex B2B sales environment where product offerings involve technical specifications custom configurations and long decision cycles. The organization generated a large volume of inbound leads across digital channels but lacked a structured mechanism to assess intent quality at the earliest stage. Sales teams were required to manually engage each lead without visibility into actual buying readiness resulting in delayed responses poor prioritization and inefficient utilization of sales resources.

Problem Statement

  • No automated mechanism to assess intent during the first interaction
