Speed-to-lead: scoring and routing new prospects in seconds

For: Multi-branch insurance agency network

Leads answered in under 2 minutes

A lead fills a form or calls, and within seconds it is enriched, scored by AI, and routed to the best available agent across all branches — with a personal WhatsApp intro reaching the prospect before any competitor picks up the phone.

The challenge

New leads from the website and phone lines landed in a shared inbox that branch managers checked a few times a day. The first callback often came hours later — by then prospects had already spoken to two competitors. Hot leads and tire-kickers got identical treatment, and nobody knew which branch or agent should own each one.

The automation

We built a Make scenario that catches every web form and call log the moment it arrives, enriches the lead with policy interest, location and source data, and has an AI model score it for intent and value. The scenario matches each lead to the best available agent by branch, specialty and current load, pushes it into the CRM, alerts the agent, and sends the prospect an instant personalized WhatsApp introduction.

Questions about this automation

How does the AI score a new lead?

Each lead is enriched with its source, location and product interest, then an AI model rates intent and likely value against criteria the agency sets, such as the type of policy asked about or the size of the business. The score sets the lead's priority and decides which agents qualify for it.

How is the best agent chosen?

Routing rules weigh branch, product specialty and current workload, and high-value leads can be reserved for senior agents. The chosen agent gets an alert to call, and the lead lands in the CRM with its score and history. If no agent is available, the lead goes to the branch manager.

What does the prospect receive right after submitting a form?

Within seconds the prospect gets a personal WhatsApp introduction from the assigned agent, sent from an approved message template. It confirms the request and says the agent will call shortly, so the prospect hears from the agency before moving on to another provider.
