Automatically qualifying leads on WhatsApp with **AI** means letting the agent ask the first questions and classify interest level before handing off to the sales team. In **Jestor**, the **AI Agent** works over the **WhatsApp Business API (Meta)** and already organizes the lead inside the **CRM**.

## Why manual lead qualification on WhatsApp stalls sales?

Without automatic qualification, every lead reaches the sales team looking the same, regardless of their real interest level, which makes the team waste time on contacts who aren't ready to buy yet.

## What sales teams are trying to solve?

- Unqualified leads arriving mixed in with the sales team
- Time spent repeating the same qualification questions manually
- No standardization in the criteria used to qualify a lead
- Slow first response to a new contact

## How the agent qualifies the lead before handing it to the team?

The agent runs the initial questions and automatically classifies the lead right inside the **CRM**.

| Stage                   | Agent's action                    | Result in the CRM                   |
| ----------------------- | --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| First contact           | Responds and starts qualification | Card created in the CRM             |
| Qualification questions | Collects relevant information     | Fields filled in automatically      |
| Classification          | Defines the interest level        | Lead prioritized for the sales team |

## Why choose Jestor?
