iVvy Launches Instant Proposal: AI-Powered Lead Qualification and Faster Proposals for Meetings and Groups Sales
1.22.2026
Speed wins deals. iVvy just launched Instant Proposal - powered by hivr.ai - the first product in its new iVvyAI suite. It's live with Edgbaston Stadium in the UK and focused on one thing: shrinking response times from hours to minutes, while qualifying leads automatically.
Why this matters for sales teams
Enquiry response time is now a revenue lever. The longer you wait, the lower your conversion rate. Instant Proposal removes manual admin and accelerates the entire enquiry-to-proposal workflow inside iVvy.
- Auto-extracts enquiry details from email and builds proposals in seconds inside iVvy
- AI-driven lead qualification and scoring prioritizes the enquiries most likely to progress
- Live now at Edgbaston Stadium; more venues and markets coming through 2026
- Launching with email first, with voice and additional features on the roadmap
How it works
hivr.ai's email AI reads inbound event enquiries, pulls out the key data, and assembles a proposal directly within iVvy. No copy-paste. No hunting for details. Sales gets a clean, complete proposal ready to send - fast.
The new lead scoring capability ranks demand by fit and intent. Reps can see warm and hot leads at a glance, respond in minutes, and keep momentum while the buyer is engaged.
Lauren Hall, CEO of iVvy: "This launch represents a major step forward for how venues manage demand. Instant Proposal - powered by hivr.ai brings automation and intelligence into the heart of the sales process, helping teams respond faster and win more business. Edgbaston's early adoption shows just how transformative this can be."
Felix Undeutsch, CEO of hivr.ai: "Creating proposals is one of the most critical - and slowest - parts of group and meeting sales, yet we know speed is everything. On average, 26 percent of same-day proposals convert, while next-day responses drop to just 15 percent. Every delay risks lost revenue."
Angela Sanders, Head of Conference and Event Sales at Edgbaston Stadium: "We receive a high volume of enquiries across multiple channels, and speed and prioritization are crucial. With AI-powered lead scoring and Instant Proposal capabilities, we can quickly identify our warm and hot leads, allowing sales teams to focus on the enquiries that are the best fit for our venue. It also frees up more time for consultative selling while AI handles initial qualification. It's transforming how we work and how we serve our customers, and we're already seeing strong results."
Practical playbook to capture more group business
- Set a same-day SLA for proposals. Track time-to-first-response and time-to-proposal every week.
- Create a triage queue: hot, warm, cold. Let AI score; let reps prioritize.
- Standardize proposal templates with modular pricing and add-ons to minimize back-and-forth.
- Automate the first response and qualification steps from email. Route by event type, size, and date flexibility.
- Measure: response rate, proposal acceptance rate, and conversion by response time band (sub-1 hour, same day, next day).
- Coach to speed and clarity. Short, direct replies beat long intros. Follow with a complete proposal fast.
- Pilot with one high-volume inbox, document wins, then roll out to all channels. Add voice when available.
What's next
Instant Proposal launches with email first, with voice and more features on the way. The iVvy-hivr.ai collaboration will expand to additional venues and markets across 2026.
