Summarize the prospect’s goals, questions, fit signals, and requested next step so a person can continue efficiently.
The problems this solves

Leads going cold because nobody followed up while purchase intent was active
2
Sales staff spending time on unqualified inquiries that never convert
3
Inconsistent pitch and pricing across team members hurting your close rate
4
Weekend and after-hours leads lost to competitors who respond instantly
5
Sales hiring, commission, and ramp-up costs adding operational overhead
6
No systematic follow-up for leads who showed interest but didn't commit on the first touch
How the sales assistant supports the workflow
Instant lead qualification with AI scoring
Engages every inbound lead the moment they reach out, asks the right discovery questions, scores intent, and routes high-value prospects to your team immediately — with full context.
Trained objection handling
Learns your most common objections and the responses that work. Addresses price concerns, comparisons, and hesitations naturally — keeping the conversation moving toward a decision.
Personalized service recommendation engine
Uses the service information and qualification rules you provide to recommend a relevant package or tier without promising a specific revenue outcome.
Automated follow-up sequences
Sends timely, personalized follow-ups to warm leads who haven't committed — via the channel they prefer — keeping your pipeline active without any manual effort.
Pricing, quotes, and proposal delivery
Provides accurate pricing, generates quotes, and can share proposals within the conversation — so prospects get everything they need to make a decision, fast.
CRM integration and lead logging
Logs every interaction, updates deal stages, and pushes qualified leads into HubSpot, Salesforce, Airtable, or your CRM of choice — automatically.
Information collected
What the assistant asks for
Collect only the details needed to answer, qualify, schedule, or hand off the request.
- Interest in a service, package, or solution
- Need, timing, location, budget range, and decision criteria
- Name, organization, and preferred follow-up details
- Questions, concerns, and the requested next action
Setup requirements
What your team provides
- Approved offers, pricing boundaries, qualification criteria, and claims
- A clear route and owner for qualified opportunities
- Rules for discounts, custom proposals, and sales-team escalation
Honest limitations
Where people and configured systems stay in control
- It should not agree to custom pricing, guarantees, or contractual terms without approval.
- Complex recommendations and final high-stakes decisions remain with your sales team.
Human handoff
When the sales assistant hands off
OpenTulpa should handle repeatable chat work and give local businesses teams context, not block customers from reaching a person. You define the triggers, owner, and expected response time.
- The prospect meets your high-intent criteria
- Custom pricing, negotiation, or a proposal is requested
- The sale depends on nuanced advice or relationship building
Your ai sales assistant in action
A real conversation — not a scripted flow.
Hi, I'm interested in your marketing packages.
Great to hear! To recommend the right package, can you tell me a bit about your business? What industry are you in, and what's your main goal — more leads, more visibility, or both?
I run a dental practice. Mainly need more new patients.
Perfect. For dental practices focused on patient acquisition, our Growth package ($450/mo) is the most popular — it includes local SEO, Google Ads management, and a monthly content calendar. Want me to walk you through the details?
That sounds good, but is there a cheaper option?
Absolutely. Our Starter package is $250/mo and covers local SEO and a basic Google Ads setup. Results depend on your market and campaign, so I can compare the deliverables without promising an inquiry volume. Would you like that?
Let's go with Starter to try it out.

Frequently asked questions
An AI sales assistant is an autonomous agent that handles inbound sales conversations — qualifying leads, answering questions, handling objections, recommending services, and guiding customers to purchase or booking — 24/7, across every channel. It works like a trained sales rep that never takes a day off and responds to every lead in seconds.
The AI engages every new lead with targeted discovery questions — budget, timeline, specific needs, location — and scores their intent based on the answers. High-intent prospects are immediately routed to your sales team with full context. Lower-intent leads are nurtured with follow-up sequences until they're ready to buy.
For straightforward services and standard pricing, the AI can handle the entire sales cycle from first contact to booking. For complex, high-ticket, or relationship-driven sales, it handles the top of funnel — qualification, objection handling, and proposals — and warm-hands off to your human team for the close. Most businesses use both.
Evaluate ROI using your own baseline: qualified inquiries handled, staff time saved, appointments booked, and gross profit from recovered opportunities. Results depend on lead volume, offer quality, and follow-up rules.
The assistant is designed to reply automatically when a connected channel delivers a message. Actual delivery time depends on the channel, integration availability, and service status.
Yes. OpenTulpa integrates with HubSpot, Salesforce, Airtable, Google Sheets, and most popular CRM platforms. Every conversation is logged, lead scores are synced, and deal stages update automatically.
The AI flags it for human review, preserving the full conversation thread. You can step in at exactly the right moment with complete context — so you're not starting from scratch.
