The challenge, approach & outcome.
- 01Challenge
A B2B SaaS was running paid SMS lead-gen at scale, but SDRs couldn't keep up with response time SLAs. Every minute past 5 minutes meant a conversion hit. They needed instant qualification with handoff to a human at the right moment.
- 02Approach
Built an inbound + outbound SMS agent on Twilio, fronted by GPT-4o with tool calls into the lead-scoring model, HubSpot deal records, and a Calendly integration. Per-conversation memory, PII redaction at ingress, and a clean escalation path to an SDR the moment intent crossed a threshold.
- 03Outcome
68% of leads now qualified without human touch, average time-to-booking down to 2.4 minutes, and the agent now handles ~110k conversations per week at 4.6/5 customer satisfaction.
