Qualification guide
How chatbots qualify leads without making the conversation feel like a form
The best qualification flow feels like a helpful first conversation. It answers the visitor, asks only the questions that change the next action, and gives your team the context to follow up well.

The four-part qualification flow
Goal: what does the visitor need? Fit: can your business help? Context: what detail changes the response? Next step: should they book, request an estimate, or hear from a person?
Good questions are specific
“What can we help with?” is a useful start. Follow with the service type, urgency, location, or timing only when that detail changes the next step. Do not ask for a field because it exists in a CRM.
When not to qualify
If a visitor needs a simple answer, answer it. Qualification is useful when it helps a buyer decide or helps your team prioritize. It should never be a reason to hide basic information.
