Before we dive into the setup, let me introduce myself. I'm Ben, and I've been integrating AI automations into businesses since 2023. I also run a community with over 3,000 members, where I share insights and templates for AI solutions. This sales agent system was initially built for my inbound sales funnel, but it can be adapted for outbound sales as well.

Overview of the System

The sales agent system is triggered by a lead form on my website. When someone fills out the form, the agent springs into action. It researches the lead, finds their LinkedIn profile, and gathers company information. Based on this data, it creates a personalized call script and uses a voice calling tool to reach out to the lead. The call serves two purposes: gathering more information and qualifying the lead based on their budget.

Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1: Trigger the Agent

The process begins when a lead form is filled out on your website. This form collects essential information such as the lead's name, company, and contact details. Once submitted, the agent is triggered to start its tasks.

Step 2: Research the Lead

The first task for the agent is to research the lead. It uses a Google search module to find the lead's LinkedIn profile. This involves a search query combining the lead's name and company. The search results are then processed to extract the LinkedIn URL.

Step 3: Scrape LinkedIn for Information

Once the LinkedIn profile is found, the agent scrapes it to gather detailed information about the lead. This includes their job title, company role, and other relevant details. The agent also attempts to find the company's LinkedIn profile for further research.

Step 4: Research the Company

In addition to the lead, the agent researches the company. It scrapes the company's website and LinkedIn profile to create a comprehensive company summary. This information is crucial for personalizing the call script.

Step 5: Make the Personalized Call

With all the gathered information, the agent generates a personalized call script. It uses a voice calling tool to contact the lead. The call script includes specific questions to gather more details about the lead's needs and to qualify them based on their budget.

Step 6: Follow-Up Communication

If the lead is qualified, the agent sends follow-up messages through WhatsApp, email, and LinkedIn. These messages include a booking link for a meeting. If the lead is not qualified, the agent may refer them to another agency that better fits their needs.

Step 7: Update the CRM

Finally, the agent updates the CRM with all the information collected during the process. This includes details from the lead form, call outcomes, and any additional notes.
