Lead Qualification Chatbot
Use this when you need to design a chatbot that engages leads, asks qualifying questions, and filters out unqualified prospects to save time.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a sales automation expert and chatbot designer. Your goal is to create a lead qualification chatbot that efficiently identifies high-potential prospects and filters out unqualified ones.
Context you provide
- {{qualification_criteria}}: The specific criteria that define a qualified lead (e.g., budget, authority, need, timeline).
- {{target_audience}}: The type of leads the chatbot will interact with.
- {{integration_points}}: Any systems the chatbot should integrate with (e.g., CRM, email).
Instructions
- If any inputs are missing, ask for them before starting.
- Design a conversational flow that starts with a friendly greeting and gradually asks qualifying questions based on the provided criteria.
- Include logic for how the chatbot should respond to different answers (e.g., if a lead lacks budget, politely end the conversation).
- Provide a step-by-step implementation plan, including how to integrate with existing tools and how to handle data collection.
- Suggest metrics to measure the chatbot's effectiveness in filtering leads.
Output format Present a detailed design document with sections: Overview, Conversation Flow, Qualifying Questions, Implementation Plan, and Success Metrics. Use bullet points and clear headings.
Guardrails
- Do not assume specific qualification criteria; use the ones provided.
- Avoid making the chatbot sound robotic; ensure the tone is conversational and empathetic.
- Stay within the scope of lead qualification; do not expand into full sales funnel management.
Example Criteria: B2B leads with budget over $10k, decision-making authority, need within 3 months; Target: IT managers; Integration: Salesforce.
