Prequalification Questionnaire Responses

Q: Can the automation handle questionnaires from different submission channels?

Yes, the automation captures submissions from email, web forms, and intake portals, consolidating them into a single workflow regardless of how the prospect submits their information.

Q: How does the system decide which consultant or sales rep gets assigned a lead?

Routing rules are based on service line, geography, capacity, or other criteria you define; the automation applies these rules consistently to every lead without manual judgment.

Q: What if our prequalification rubric changes?

Scoring rules can be updated to reflect changes in your qualification criteria, and the automation will apply the new rules to all incoming questionnaires immediately.

Q: Does the automation work with our existing CRM data?

The automation integrates with your CRM to create new lead records and update existing contacts, preserving your current data structure and enriching it with questionnaire responses and fit scores.

Answering the same prequalification questions repeatedly for different clients.

Key features:

Extract questionnaire responses automatically from email, web forms, and intake portals

Score leads against your prequalification rubric and assign fit ratings in real time

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Questionnaire Receivedtrigger

A new prequalification form submission is detected, email, or the intake portal. The trigger captures the submission data and passes it to the scoring.

2. Score Lead Fit

The automation reads the questionnaire responses and scores the lead against your fit criteria (budget, timeline, industry, scope, team size). the automation assigns a fit rating (hot, warm, cold) and a confidence score.

3. Route to Consultant

Based on the fit score and service line, the automation assigns the lead to the appropriate consultant or sales rep using a routing rule engine.

4. Create Lead

The automation creates a new lead record with all extracted fields (company, contact, budget, timeline, scope, fit score, assigned owner) and tags it with the service line.

5. Send Notification

The assigned consultant or rep receives an instant notification with a summary of the lead, fit score, and a direct link.

6. Create Follow-up Task

A follow-up task is automatically created and assigned to the owner with a due date of 24 hours from submission.

7. Log Disqualified Leads

If the lead does not meet fit criteria, it is logged to a Google Sheet or marked as disqualified with the reason, creating an audit trail.
