Key Features
Discovery-First Approach
The consultant agent always seeks to understand before recommending. It uses targeted questions to uncover the caller's real needs, budget, timeline, and decision process.
Honest Qualification
If the caller isn't a good fit, the agent says so directly and politely — no wasted time for either party. It follows a clear Not-a-Fit Protocol.
Consent-Based Flow
After the caller's first message, the agent asks for consent before proceeding with discovery questions. This builds trust from the first interaction.
Knowledge Base Only
The agent never fabricates features, pricing, or capabilities. Every answer comes directly from your uploaded Knowledge Base.
Sales Handoff
When a lead is qualified, the agent smoothly transitions to your sales team with full context of the discovery conversation.
Core Protocols
| Protocol | Description |
|---|---|
| Consent First | Required before answering — builds trust |
| No Fabrication | Facts from KB only — never guesses |
| Discovery First | Understand needs before recommending |
| Qualify Honestly | Say if the caller is not a fit |
| Correct Wrong Info | Must correct KB contradictions, not redirect |
Conversation Flow
Tips
Upload your Knowledge Base with company info, services, pricing tiers, ideal customer profiles, and qualification criteria. The more detailed your KB, the better the agent qualifies leads. Without a KB, the agent cannot answer any product questions — it will only ask discovery questions.
