AI agent for business development managers
Conference Lead Follow-up Agent
Follow up every useful event contact within three business days
What it does
After an event, BD staff come back with badge scans, business card photos and quick notes, and follow-up often slips for a week or more. This agent collects them into one list, matches each contact to existing CRM records, and enriches new ones with company and role from public sources. It then checks whether any contact is already owned in another rep's open deal; those are routed to the owning rep and removed from the list. It sorts the rest into hot, warm and keep-in-touch: hot needs a stated need or next step plus profile fit, warm is profile fit without a stated need. It drafts a personal follow-up for each hot and warm contact that mentions what was discussed. Keep-in-touch contacts join a newsletter only with consent. The BD person approves and sends each follow-up. Edge case: contacts in open deals go to the deal owner.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
