Lead qualification

Every prospect who calls is qualified before reaching a salesperson.

Cantya puts your qualification questions to the prospects who call, books a sales appointment in your calendar when the request is ready and sends their answers to your Google Sheets, Airtable or Notion.

Mr GarnierProspect · 40 branchesLive

Hello, we have about forty branches and I’m looking for a solution for our calls.

Certainly. What is your timeline, and who is involved in the decision with you?

Before the end of the quarter. I’m deciding with our operations director.

Thank you, that’s noted. I’ll book you in for Tuesday at 3 pm with our sales team.

The question you are asking

What is lead qualification by phone?

Lead qualification by phone means asking a prospect who calls the questions that show whether their request warrants a salesperson now: their need, the size of their organisation, their timeline, who makes the decision. The answers separate the projects ready to move forward from the contacts that still need informing.

In many sales teams, the first call goes to whoever is free. A salesperson spends twenty minutes with a student writing a dissertation, while a buyer in a hurry leaves a message that nobody listens to before the next day.

Cantya asks your questions, in the order you chose, and applies your criteria. When the request is ready for a salesperson, it books the appointment in the team’s calendar. Otherwise, it notes the need and the timeline for your marketing team. Either way, the call report and the answers arrive in your tracking sheet in Google Sheets, Airtable or Notion.

In practice

How it gets set up

  1. 01

    You write your qualification questions

    Need, number of employees or sites, timeline, budget set aside, the caller’s role in the decision. You choose the questions and the answers that matter to you.

  2. 02

    You draw the line between ready and not yet

    For example, a project due within three months and led by a decision-maker calls for an appointment, while someone simply watching the market calls for a note to marketing. Cantya assigns no score: it applies your rule.

  3. 03

    Cantya conducts the conversation

    It asks the questions as the conversation goes, answers on your offer with what you taught it and rephrases when an answer stays vague.

  4. 04

    The salesperson receives a prepared appointment

    The slot is booked in the team’s calendar, and the salesperson receives the call report by email with every answer. The salesperson starts the meeting already knowing what it is about.

What questions does Cantya ask prospects?

The ones you write. Most teams start from the need, the size, the timeline and the caller’s role, then add one or two questions specific to their market. You change them from your account whenever you like.

Who does the prospect book an appointment with?

With your sales team, in the calendar you connected, using the appointment type set for a first conversation. If they want to speak to someone right away, Cantya transfers the call to the number you designated.

Where do the answers go?

To the tool you connected: a row in Google Sheets, Airtable or Notion, an email to the sales team, or a message in Slack or Teams. The call report arrives with the contact details, the answers to the qualification questions and a listening link; the full transcript stays in your Cantya space.

What happens to a prospect who is not ready?

They are not lost. Cantya answers their questions about your offer, notes their need and timeline, and their answers reach your tracking sheet like those of other prospects. Your marketing team picks up the thread at the right time.

The next call gets answered.
