How AI-Powered Automation Can Help
AI agents can automate the entire customer information gathering and lead qualification process through conversational interfaces like chatbots and messaging apps:
- Engage: AI chatbots initiate conversations with potential customers, greeting them and offering assistance.
- Gather: Utilizing NLP, the chatbot asks targeted questions to gather relevant information such as needs, budget, and purchase timeline. The
