The Problem: Leads Were Being Wasted

Our client, a real estate lead generation company, was running ads on:

• Facebook (Meta)
• Google
• TikTok
• Website forms

They generated high-quality buyer leads and sold them to agents.

But there was a big issue

1. Slow Follow-Up

• Most agents didn’t call quickly
• Contact rates drop massively after 5 minutes
• Many leads were never contacted

2. “Unreachable” Lead Complaints

Agents often said:

“We couldn’t reach the lead.”

But there was no proof:

• Did they actually call?
• How many times?
• When?

3. Profit Loss from Replacements

• Leads cost: $35
• Sold for: $75
• Frequent replacements = shrinking margins

The Goal

The client wanted a system that could:

• Contact leads within 5 minutes
• Increase answer rates
• Automatically qualify buyers
• Reduce replacement requests
• Track every contact attempt

The Solution: AI Voice + SMS Automation

We built a system that instantly responds to every new lead.

Here’s how it works:

• Lead enters CRM
• AI voice agent calls within 2–5 minutes
• AI asks simple qualification questions
• Call outcome is recorded
• If no answer → SMS follow-up is sent
• CRM updates automatically

No lead is left untouched.

What Happens During the AI Call?

The AI voice assistant (named Sarah) keeps things simple:

• Confirms if the buyer is still interested
• Checks if they already have an agent
• Asks when they’re available to talk

Call duration: Under 3 minutes

Smart Lead Qualification

The system uses clear rules:

Qualified Leads:

• Still interested in buying
• Not working with another agent

Not Qualified:

• Not interested
• Already signed with an agent
• Asked not to be contacted

This ensures agents only get serious buyers.

Tech Stack We Used

• CRM: GoHighLevel
• Voice AI: VAPI
• Text-to-Speech: ElevenLabs
• Automation Layer: Make.com

Everything works together in real-time.
