#Step by step
1
Schedule a follow-up
Set the next step and date on the lead so the owner is reminded.
2
Optionally enroll in a nurture sequence
Add the lead to an email sequence for steady, multi-step contact.
3
Use AI to draft outreach
Have the Sales Agent draft an email for the lead; give it a clear goal.
4
Review, personalize, and send
Read the draft, adjust it, and send it yourself — AI never sends on its own.
#Approval points
Human approval required
- Every AI-drafted email is reviewed and sent by a person; the AI does not send messages automatically.
#Expected result
What you should see
The lead receives timely, personalized follow-up, and the next step is always scheduled.
#Common mistakes
- Sending AI drafts without reviewing them.
- Enrolling a won or lost lead in a nurture sequence.
- Setting follow-ups with no clear action.
#Troubleshooting
| If this happens | Try this |
|---|---|
| Sequence emails are not going out | Confirm the lead is enrolled and that workspace email delivery is configured. |
| AI drafting returns nothing | AI requires the workspace AI key; see Troubleshoot AI generation. |
#FAQ
Does the AI email the client for me?
No. The Sales Agent drafts; you review and send. A human is always in the loop.
What stops a sequence?
Marking the lead won or lost stops its active sequence enrollments.
