introduction
What this voice AI agent does
The High-Intent Lead Screener template creates an AI agent that handles inbound sales calls for home services, contractors, and similar high-intent verticals. It qualifies leads by asking about service type, scope, timeline, and budget, then either books an on-site estimate or transfers urgent jobs directly to a closer.
Designed for businesses that lose leads to voicemail or slow follow-up, this template ensures every inbound call gets qualified and routed in real time. No more missed opportunities during busy hours or after-hours calls going unanswered.
The template comes pre-configured with estimate scheduling via webhook, warm transfer to sales closers, and a structured qualification flow.
