“Do I Really Need to Reply to All These Inquiries?”
That was me last year — head of export sales, inbox full of:
-
vague requests
-
fake RFQs
-
ghosted contacts
-
non-decision makers
I was spending 70% of my time figuring outwho’s worth following up.
Now? AI qualifies leads for us before we even open the message.
Here’s how.
🤖 What Is an AI Lead Qualification Tool?
It’s a smart filter that helps you answer:
-
Who’s serious?
-
Who’s just browsing?
-
Who’s asking about pricing but never replies?
SaleAI’sCognitive Automation Allydoes this automatically:
-
Reads inbound messages
-
Scores lead intent and product fit
-
Auto-replies to FAQs
-
Flags hot leads for sales reps
🧠 How It Works (Real Workflow)
1.Lead Inquiry Comes In
A message like:
“Hi, what’s your price for 10,000 units?”
→ Ally auto-parses volume, product, and keywords.
2.Instant AI Response Sent
Based on rules, it sends:
“Thanks! Here's our MOQ, pricing tier for bulk, shipping time. See brochure here.”
🤖 24/7 reply — even on weekends or different time zones.
3.Lead Score Is Calculated
Behind the scenes:
-
❌ Low intent → Auto-tagged as “Cold”
-
🟡 Partial info → Tagged “Warm”
-
✅ High volume + specific → Pushed to human sales rep
📊 No more digging through 300 messages. Just handle the top 10.
💡 Real Impact (from My Own Sales Team)
Before Ally | After Ally |
---|---|
20+ replies/day manually | 80% handled by Ally, only 20% forwarded |
High burnout from repetitive Qs | Focused only on real buyers |
2–3 day reply delay | Average reply time = 4 minutes |
Low conversion rate | +38% in 3 months (qualified leads only) |
🙅 What It Doesn’t Do (And That’s a Good Thing)
-
❌ It doesn’t close deals for you
-
❌ It doesn’t guess pricing
-
❌ It doesn’t override your judgment
Itprepares the groundso you can sell smarter — not harder.
👇 What You Should Do Next
If your team is:
-
Swamped with unfiltered leads
-
Losing buyers due to late replies
-
Wasting time on cold contacts
