AI agents

Turning website conversations into managed sales opportunities

US training & professional services business

Online training, consulting and automation services

Identity withheld for client confidentiality.

The challenge

Website visitors needed immediate answers, while the sales team needed every useful conversation captured with enough context to follow up.

  • Visitor context could be lost between chat and email
  • There was no shared status or visible reply history

What changed

  • A website AI agent answers service and package questions
  • Contact details and the conversation are captured as a lead
  • The team can assign a status and reply from one admin view
  • Email replies link back to a private browser-based conversation

Lead generation

Replacing a generic enquiry with an AI readiness assessment

US training & professional services business

Complex services sold through consultative discovery

Identity withheld for client confidentiality.

The challenge

Prospects wanted useful guidance before a sales call, but a standard contact form did not reveal their priorities or level of readiness.

Before automation

  • The first call started without structured discovery data
  • Prospects received no immediate personalised value
  • Recommendations depended on manual follow-up

What changed

  • A structured assessment covers strategy, data, technology, people and process
  • Answers are converted into a readiness score and maturity level
  • The visitor receives a category breakdown and recommended next steps
  • The team receives the same submission in a dedicated admin view

The automation journey

  1. 1Frame

    Defined five readiness areas and a consistent scoring model.

  2. 2Personalise

    Matched score ranges to practical next steps and suitable service packages.

  3. 3Connect

    Stored each report as a lead and emailed a copy to both visitor and team.

Sales operations

Connecting an enquiry to quote, contract, invoice and payment

US training & professional services business

Custom projects with setup fees and ongoing service terms

Identity withheld for client confidentiality.

The challenge

Custom service enquiries had to move through several commercial documents without making the customer repeat information at every step.

Before automation

  • Lead, proposal and payment details lived in separate steps
  • Manual copying increased the chance of inconsistent terms
  • The customer lacked one clear path from decision to payment

What changed

  • An administrator turns a qualified enquiry into a package-specific quote
  • A private customer link presents scope, pricing and contract terms
  • Acceptance creates the invoice and opens setup-fee checkout
  • Payment status stays tied to the originating enquiry and agreement

The automation journey

  1. 1Standardise

    Separated reusable package terms from client-specific scope and pricing.

  2. 2Link

    Connected enquiry, quote, acceptance, invoice and payment records.

  3. 3Simplify

    Gave the customer one private link for review, signature and checkout.

Finance

Triggering confirmation and invoicing only after payment

US training & professional services business

Scheduled digital services with limited capacity

Identity withheld for client confidentiality.

The challenge

Seat confirmation, payment status, customer email and invoice delivery needed to stay in sync across each order.

Before automation

  • A manual status change could get ahead of the payment
  • Invoices and confirmations required separate follow-up
  • Operations had to reconcile customer and booking records

What changed

  • Payment capture updates the order status automatically
  • Only successful payment triggers confirmation and invoice delivery
  • The related seat is confirmed against the scheduled batch
  • The customer can retrieve the invoice from their portal

The automation journey

  1. 1Control

    Defined payment success as the single trigger for fulfilment.

  2. 2Automate

    Connected payment, booking, enrolment, email and invoice actions.

  3. 3Expose

    Added customer-facing status and invoice access in the portal.

Lead generation

Giving sales a safe follow-up path for incomplete checkout

US training & professional services business

Online checkout for scheduled services

Identity withheld for client confidentiality.

The challenge

A prospective customer could begin booking and leave before payment, with no organised way for the team to help them return.

Before automation

  • Incomplete bookings were difficult to identify
  • Follow-up depended on someone noticing manually
  • Customers had no direct route back to the correct checkout

What changed

  • Unpaid booking attempts are surfaced after a defined waiting period
  • The team receives a notification with the relevant context
  • An administrator can send a reminder from the abandoned-bookings view
  • The reminder includes a direct link back to the payment page

The automation journey

  1. 1Detect

    Defined the conditions that distinguish an incomplete checkout from an active attempt.

  2. 2Notify

    Created a focused admin queue instead of mixing these records with paid orders.

  3. 3Recover

    Added a controlled reminder action with the correct payment link.

Customer experience

Creating one customer portal for access, dates and documents

US training & professional services business

Organisation and individual customers sharing service records

Identity withheld for client confidentiality.

The challenge

Customers needed a secure place to see their own bookings, schedules, learning access, materials and invoices without emailing operations.

Before automation

  • Information was spread across confirmation messages
  • Operations answered repeat questions about dates and access
  • Organisation contacts needed visibility into their own teams

What changed

  • Passwordless access connects each customer to their own records
  • Bookings, batch dates, materials and invoices appear in one portal
  • Organisation administrators can manage active team members
  • Access remains scoped to the signed-in customer or organisation

The automation journey

  1. 1Unify

    Mapped customer-facing records around a single identity and organisation.

  2. 2Secure

    Applied role and ownership rules to every portal view.

  3. 3Serve

Operations

Linking scheduled delivery with live access and attendance

US training & professional services business

Live online delivery across scheduled customer groups

Identity withheld for client confidentiality.

The challenge

Live sessions needed to open only to eligible participants while giving operations an accurate attendance record for each scheduled group.

Before automation

  • Meeting links and participant lists required manual coordination
  • Attendance was separate from enrolment data
  • Late, excused and absent states needed a consistent record

What changed

  • Administrators attach a live session to the scheduled customer group
  • Eligible participants join from their own portal
  • Presence signals update while the session is live
  • An administrator can review and correct the final attendance state

The automation journey

  1. 1Connect

    Linked schedules, participant eligibility and live-session details.

  2. 2Observe

    Added periodic presence signals while preserving human review.
