Questions about this tool

How is 'at risk' estimated?
It applies a decay to enquiries as response time grows, weighted by the share arriving out of hours. It's a directional estimate for making a case, not a measurement of your funnel — your own CRM data will always be better.

use case

After-hours support that doesn't lose the lead

The gap between a question and an answer is where interest dies. Answering after-hours questions immediately — and routing the ones you can't answer to a form or booking link — keeps enquiries warm until someone is back at a desk.

use case

Turn website questions into qualified enquiries

Most visitors who leave without contacting you had one unanswered question. Answering it on the spot — then offering a booking link at the right moment — converts curiosity into a conversation with your team.

What is lead qualification?

Traditionally a form or a discovery call. Increasingly it happens before contact: a visitor who can get straight answers on price range, scope and coverage qualifies themselves, and only books when there's a fit.
