Lead Qualification WhatsApp 2026 | +300% Conversion with 5 Questions [Auto Scoring]
Lead qualification on enterprise chatbot (via 24/7 support): questions, scoring, and handoff
Qualification is where you win time (and margin). Without it, your team spends the same effort on low-intent chats as on real buyers.
The goal: in 60–90 seconds, identify intent and define the next step.
5 questions that work (without feeling like a form)
- What are you trying to solve?
- When do you need it?
- Is this for you or for a team/company?
- Are you already using WhatsApp Business API to sell/support?
- Do you want a quick demo, or should I guide you here?
Buying signals (simple scoring)
Add points when you see:
- Asking for price/quote
- Asking for availability
- Requesting a demo
- Urgency (“this week”)
- Mentioning team/process
Minimum viable scoring
- 0–1 signals: nurture + soft follow-up
- 2–3 signals: route to sales
- 4+ signals: high priority
When to hand off to a human
- Complex objections
- Negotiation
- Sensitive complaints
