Lead-to-Client Conversion

Q: Can we customize proposal templates for different service types?

Yes. The system stores multiple proposal templates and selects the right one based on the lead's stated needs and service tier.

Q: What if a client doesn't sign the contract within 5 days?

The system sends an automatic reminder email after 5 days and alerts the partner via Slack or email. Partners can also manually send a follow-up or adjust the reminder timing for each contract.

Q: Will this work with our existing CRM and email setup?

The automation integrates with HubSpot, Gmail, DocuSign, and Slack. If you use different tools, the system can be adapted to connect to them; your implementation team will confirm compatibility during setup.

Q: How much manual work do partners still need to do?

Partners focus on strategy, relationship-building, and closing conversations; the system handles lead scoring, proposal generation, follow-up reminders, and contract tracking. Partners review and approve key decisions, but routine tasks.

Turn every inbound lead into a qualified prospect and onboarded client without manual follow-up falling through the cracks.
