● Business offer — Lead qualification & appointments

The AI lead qualification agent: answer fast, book the meeting

A lead who contacts you expects an answer straight away. After a few hours their interest fades and they have often already approached a competitor. The problem is not a shortage of leads, but the speed and consistency of the handling. Your AI agent answers within the second, within the frame of a written sending mandate, qualifies, and books a meeting while interest is at its peak. Hosted in France — on local inference or an isolated resource — your prospects' contact details stay under control. The salesperson keeps the decision.

Hello, I have filled in your form. We are looking for a solution to automate our follow-ups, we are a team of 12 salespeople. It is urgent.
Thank you, I am noting that right away. To point you to the right person: is your timescale more a matter of weeks or of months?
And do you already have a CRM in place (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Sellsy…)?
Request qualified: 12 salespeople, subject “follow-ups”, flagged urgent.
⛓ Sourced · incoming form + the account's qualification criteria
A few weeks, and yes we are on HubSpot. Can you book me a call this week?
Hot lead — high score. I can offer two real slots with a salesperson: Thursday 11am or Friday 2.30pm.
I confirm the meeting, send the invitation and a reminder the day before, and pass your qualified record (headcount, subject, CRM, urgency) to the salesperson.

✦ In brief

A Blue Lemon Agent lead qualification agent answers instantly to incoming enquiries (form, website, email, chat), asks the right questions to assess the need and the prospect's maturity, scores and prioritises, then proposes real slots and books the meeting in the sales diary. It follows up on lukewarm leads and passes the salesperson a qualified record with the full context. Hosted in France — on local inference or an isolated resource — prospects' contact details stays covered by an architecture designed to reduce exposure to extraterritorial legislation, location alone not being enough to guarantee immunity, in compliance with the GDPR. Live in one to two weeks. Your teams write to it from Microsoft Teams, Slack or their email, and your customers reach it on WhatsApp Business, your website chat or email — with no account to create and nothing to install. These connections are included in every plan, at no extra cost, within the number of connections set out in your agent's quote.

Included in the package: hosting and AI consumption up to the volume of your capacity tier, in documents, exchanges, tokens and storage; beyond that, re-invoiced at real cost with no margin, tracked in your client area as usage statements are issued. Maintenance and supervision subscription for an initial term of 12 months for the Agility package, 24 months for the Serenity package and 36 months for the 100% Sovereign package, renewable; support levels (SLA 72 h / 24 h / 4 h) optional. Bespoke development, additional integrations or exceptional volumes are quoted separately. Support Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm. Prices exclude VAT.
AI model: none of the AI models offered currently carries a fixed surcharge. When the selected model carries a cost, that cost is shown when you choose it, before you order, and re-invoiced at the cost incurred, with no mark-up; usage is billed at the publisher's price. Publishers' prices are published in US dollars: the amount re-invoiced is the amount in euros actually borne by Blue Lemon Agent on the publisher's invoice, at that invoice's exchange rate, with no commission or mark-up.
Included components and additional components Components included in the base offer: the Blue Lemon Agent software foundation, the AI models listed in the order journey, the standard channels (Microsoft Teams, Slack, WhatsApp Business, email, website chat, calendars, Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace, file storage, market VoIP telephony, professional social-media pages and accounts, Google Business Profile), hosting for the package chosen, in France by default, backups, supervision, updates and support. If adapting the AI agent to your constraints, your needs or your requests requires other paid components — a third-party publisher's software licence, paid API access to one of your applications, hosting of health data, for which French law requires an HDS-certified host (art. L. 1111-8 of the French Public Health Code), SecNumCloud-qualified hosting, a speech synthesis service, particular hardware —, they are offered to you as an option or on quotation and re-invoiced at the cost incurred; nothing is committed without your written agreement. Where the artificial intelligence model you choose entails an additional cost, that cost is shown to you before you order and re-invoiced to you at the cost incurred, with no margin.

Use cases

The uses of AI on your incoming leads

Each use corresponds to an agent we deploy. All of them work in support: subject to your approval, or under a written sending mandate for what the agent sends by itself.

Included in your agent The 7 capabilities essential to this promise are included, at no extra cost.
From 312 € excl. VAT / month

Instant answers to leads

An answer within the second to incoming enquiries (form, website, email, chat), around the clock, where human handling is intermittent. Answering within the second requires a written sending mandate (scope, ceiling, duration); without a mandate, the reply is prepared and waits for a salesperson.

Adaptive qualification

Questions on the need, the timescale and the fit, adjusted as the exchange goes on to gauge the prospect's maturity.

Scoring & prioritisation

Each lead gets a score against your criteria; hot leads go to the top for the salespeople.

Appointment booking

Proposing real slots and writing the meeting straight into the sales diary.

Confirmations & reminders

Immediate confirmation and reminders before the meeting to cut missed appointments. By text message, to reach people who do not check their email.

Following up lukewarm leads

Automatic, personalised follow-up sequences to reactivate the leads that did not convert straight away. They go out under the same mandate, which sets the maximum number of follow-ups per person.

CRM updating

Connection to your CRM (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Sellsy…): qualified record, full context and history written automatically.

Controls and safeguards These 3 controls are built into the agent: they frame what it does, whatever plan you pick. They are not chosen and are not added to your order.
Human validation, exceptions and escalation Prioritise opportunities on explicit criteria Personalise without breaching consent or prospecting rules
What the agent must be connected to This connection is required for the agent to work. It concerns your information system and is scoped during the audit.
Prepare the next action and write back to the CRM without loss

Demonstration

4 everyday situations, taken from those that come up most often. Pick one: the exchange unfolds as it would in your organisation.

A scripted demonstration. These exchanges show how the agent behaves — its sources, its refusals, what it leaves to your teams. Nothing is sent from this page, no model is queried here, and the matters named are fictional. That is precisely what we promise your data. The behaviours shown here — monitoring, automation rules, routing and reminders — are configured with you during deployment, from your tools, your rules and your thresholds. The architecture points named in these exchanges — location, local execution, isolation, encryption, role-based access, logging — are not a guarantee attached to the demonstration: they are those of the architecture set out in your quotation, and verified before commissioning.

Qualification & appointments agent · hosted in France

Fictional simulation — not a client result

Four flags this morning, and the first concerns appointments I booked myself.
· Of 61 appointments booked this quarter, 22 did not take place — 36%. Fourteen of them had been set more than fifteen days ahead.
· Nine appointments concerned a need your catalogue does not cover. The salesperson found out on arrival.
· One slot was offered while the salesperson was expected 200 km away that same afternoon. My calendar could not see their travel.
· Forty-seven enquiries arriving outside opening hours received no reply for two days. morning-watch_4-flags.pdf22 of 61 appointments not kept
⛓ Source · 61 appointments this quarter, visit reports, shared calendar, enquiry log
36% of appointments not kept — is that my problem or yours?
Mine for at least fourteen of them, and I am not going to present it any other way.
What I record: 22 appointments of 61 not kept. Fourteen had been set more than fifteen days after the conversation; eight within a week.
What that means: I booked distant appointments because a distant slot is always free. The prospect agrees, and then the reason that made them call fades — they found something, sorted it otherwise, or forgot.
What the 39 kept do not buy back: a missed appointment costs your salesperson a journey and another prospect a place. It is not cancelled, it is paid for twice — and at 22 out of 61, that is a day and a half of driving a month for nothing.
What I change, and it is already in place: I no longer offer beyond ten days without saying so. Past that, I state the wait out loud — "the first slot is [date], in three weeks; shall I call you back sooner if something frees up?" A prospect who hears "three weeks" decides knowingly.
What I now measure, and what was measured nowhere before: the gap between the conversation and the appointment, crossed with attendance. 22-of-61_14-beyond-15-days.pdfA distant slot is always free
⛓ Source · 61 appointments, booking lead times, attendance recorded
How did you spot all that? And who do you tell?
I watch, continuously, what you have opened to me: incoming enquiries, your salespeople's shared calendar, your catalogue of offers, and visit reports.
Routing follows whose time is lost: an appointment on a need outside the catalogue goes to the salesperson concerned, before they set off — afterwards they have made the journey; a slot incompatible with travel to the same person, immediately; an enquiry outside opening hours handled by me that evening, with the answer I am able to give; a recurring need outside the catalogue to sales management, as a count.
With a chase: immediate on a calendar conflict, 7 days on the rest. Then a monthly summary: by enquiry subject and by lead time, never by salesperson.

And I do not stop at the flag: whatever could be prepared is. Calendar conflicts come back with two replacement slots each, taken from actual availability; out-of-hours enquiries have their acknowledgement written and sent; needs outside the catalogue are counted and grouped — eleven enquiries over three months, all on the same service.
One rule holds up all the rest: I book an appointment only on a slot I can guarantee, and I say what you cannot handle rather than booking an appointment to avoid losing the contact. That costs in the short term — four fewer appointments this month — and it gives your salespeople four journeys back.
What stays theirs, and it is what the prospect came for: qualifying and selling. I book appointments; the sale happens with a person.
And I read what you have opened to me, every access logged and withdrawable on a word.

The context

Why speed of response changes everything

On an incoming lead, the window of interest is short. Answering within the first few minutes rather than the next day sharply increases the chances of getting a meeting — provided somebody is available in the evening, at weekends and at peak times.

! The issue

The prospect who has just filled in your form is still in the middle of their search: they have not compared ten offers and they appreciate responsiveness. But no salesperson is available around the clock, and enquiries often arrive when the team is already busy. The result: leads going cold, and sometimes consumer tools entrusted with your prospects' name, email, phone number and need, often hosted outside Europe and subject to the Cloud Act.

✓ Our answer

An agent that is sovereign and confidential by design delivers an immediate, consistent and qualifying answer, where human handling is inevitably intermittent. Local inference or an isolated resource hosted in France, human oversight, decisions reserved to the salesperson: the speed gained on handling leads is never paid for in lost confidentiality. The aim is not to replace the salesperson, but to present them only with meetings that are already qualified.

The decisive point

Your prospects' contact details: sovereignty & compliance

A lead is personal data. Here is how the architecture of our agents protects it, from the first answer to the record handed to the salesperson.

Local inference

With the 100% Sovereign package, the agent runs on a machine belonging to the company: no contact details leave the network, nothing passes through a foreign cloud.

Hosting in France

Otherwise, with the Agility and Serenity packages, a dedicated, isolated resource hosted in France, under French law: data hosted in France; the AI model is called at its publisher, except with the Sovereign model option.

Reduced extraterritorial exposure

Exposure of your prospects' contact details to the Cloud Act and FISA 702 is reduced by design; location alone does not guarantee immunity.

GDPR by design

Notice to the prospect, legal basis and the option to unsubscribe built into the qualification journey.

Encryption & controlled access

Encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access (RBAC), strong authentication and logging.

AI Act: governed deployment

The agent carries out what you have authorised; it replies, confirms and follows up by itself only under a written sending mandate (scope, ceiling, duration), logged and withdrawn with a word; no binding appointment approved on its own; traceability and human oversight from end to end.

What depends on the architecture chosen These points are not general guarantees: they are settled deployment by deployment, in the quotation.

  • The applicable location is that of the architecture set out in the quotation and verified before commissioning.
  • Local execution is announced only for the configuration explicitly described and accepted in the quotation.
  • The applicable isolation depends on the deployment mode set out in the quotation; no dedicated isolation is presumed.
  • The encryption mechanisms in transit and at rest, their components and key management are those documented for the architecture chosen.
  • Roles and permissions are configured and accepted for the identities and systems actually connected.
  • The events logged, their content, their retention period and who may access them are defined for the deployment chosen.
For the most sensitive flows, SecNumCloud and HDS options are available depending on your requirements. A single architecture is designed to answer both the GDPR and extraterritorial exposure. Designed for deployment in line with the GDPR and the AI Act, after the processing, roles and context-specific risks have been assessed.
The gain

How much time and how many leads can you win back?

By answering immediately and presenting only qualified meetings, your salespeople stop wasting time on irrelevant contacts — and no lead goes cold for want of a timely answer.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, our answers

How does it differ from a prospecting agent?
Prospecting is outbound: the agent goes out to find prospects (see our outbound prospecting agent). Here, the agent handles incoming leads — those who contact you — to qualify them and book a meeting quickly. The two complement each other.
Does the agent really qualify the leads?
Yes. It asks adaptive questions about the need, the timescale and the fit, assigns a score and prioritises against your criteria. Your salespeople only receive qualified meetings, with a full context record.
Do the replies to leads go out without being read over?
Only if you authorise it in writing. Without a mandate, the agent prepares the reply and a salesperson approves it before it goes out. With a written sending mandate, it sends by itself the category of messages you have authorised: reply to an inbound request, confirmation and reminder of an appointment, follow-up of a lukewarm lead (the scope), within a number of sends and a maximum number of follow-ups per person (the ceiling), until an end date (the duration). Every send under mandate is logged and the mandate is withdrawn with a word. The mandate replaces neither the information given to the prospect nor the unsubscribe option built into the journey: the messages go out in your name.
Does it cut missed appointments?
Yes. By answering immediately, confirming the meeting and sending reminders, it improves attendance compared with a delayed first contact. Benchmarks to be validated on your own data.
Is the leads' data protected?
Yes. Your prospects' contact details and context are hosted in France, with the deployment objective of processing and access operated within the European Union and an architecture designed to reduce exposure to extraterritorial legislation, location alone not being enough to guarantee immunity, in compliance with the GDPR: notice to the prospect and the option to unsubscribe are built into the journey.
Does it integrate with my CRM and my diary?
Yes. It connects to your CRM (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Sellsy…) and to your diaries to propose real slots and automatically write the meetings and qualified records, without making you change tools.
Does the agent close the sale in the salesperson's place?
No. It conducts neither the negotiation nor the signature: it prepares the ground and hands the salesperson a qualified meeting. The qualification and allocation criteria are defined with you, and the human keeps the decision.
How long does it take to deploy the agent?
One to two weeks as a rule, after a 30-minute meeting with our sales team that identifies the use case with the best return, then a phase of design, integration with your CRM and diaries, and testing before going live. Steering through a web dashboard; your sales people talk to the agent from Microsoft Teams, Slack or their email, and prospects reach it on WhatsApp Business, the website chat, email or the telephone.
Which tools can people use to talk to the agent?
The ones you already use. Internally, your teams write to it from Microsoft Teams, Slack or by email, just as they would to a colleague: nothing to install, nothing to learn. On the customer side, the agent answers on WhatsApp Business, your website chat and email — your customers reach you where they already write, with no account to create. You keep control from a web dashboard. These connectors rely on open standards, including the MCP protocol; they are included in every plan, at no extra cost, within the number of connections set out in your agent's quote, and the catalogue grows at no extra cost. Only the fees charged by the platforms themselves — WhatsApp Business bills per conversation, and the gateway bills the text messages sent — are passed on at actual cost, with no margin, outside the subscription.
Can the agent notify my prospects by text message?
Yes, as an option. The agent confirms the meeting by text message as soon as it is booked, then sends a day-before reminder with a one-tap confirmation; a released slot is immediately made available again. A text message is an outbound notification channel, not a conversation channel: no one writes back to the agent there — the conversation stays on WhatsApp Business, your website chat or email. The message announces without detailing, it carries your registered sender name, and it never contains a payment link, a login or a password: the recipient reaches your account area the way they usually do. Delivery goes through a gateway established in the European Union; the messages sent are passed on to you at actual cost, with no margin, and the channel itself is an optional module, set out on the pricing page.
