First-touch BANT qualification
AI Agent
Hi, this is Alex calling from Bright Solutions. I saw you submitted an inquiry about our managed IT services. Do you have a couple of minutes to chat?
Lead
Sure, we have been looking at options for our office network upgrade.
AI Agent
Great — so I can connect you with the right person, can you share roughly what budget range you are working with for this project?
Lead
We have allocated around $15,000 for the upgrade. Ideally we want to start by Q2.
AI Agent
That is helpful, thank you. And are you the decision-maker on this, or is there someone else who would sign off on the vendor selection?
Lead
I am the IT director — I make the final call on vendors under $25K.
AI Agent
Perfect. Based on what you have shared, I have scored this as a strong fit. I will have our solutions team reach out with a tailored proposal by end of day. Is there anything else I should pass along?
