Responding to high-quality leads who raise their hand and are ready to buy is the icing on the sales cake. But the actual cake is made up of mid-funnel prospects who have some level of interest, but aren’t ready to talk with a sales rep … and this part of the cake is thick with leads.

Ilan Kasan (Founder of Exceed.ai) came on this episode of AI: IRL to share how he’s helping customers use AI to respond to thousands of mid-funnel leads, feed info back into the CRM, and then pass off communications to sales reps when the buyer is ready. 

What we talked about:

• The problem: determining intent without soaking up sales reps’ time
• How Exceed.ai responds to customers
• Secondary benefits of AI email responses:
• • 1) Ensure you add qualification questions to automated responses
  • 2) Push data to your CRM
  • 3) Analytics
