Lead Qualification & Scoring for General Contracting

{"faqs":[{"answer":"You set your qualification questions and what counts as qualified — for example, project type (office build out, retail construction, restaurant build out), budget range, and timeline. Every lead gets an instant response, answers those questions, and is automatically scored. Qualified leads route to your team and get booked; unqualified ones don't waste estimator hours.","question":"How does lead scoring work for commercial construction inquiries?"},{"answer":"Yes. You define the response rules and qualification questions per your process, so design-build and commercial tenant improvement inquiries can be asked different questions than bid-board leads. You control what counts as qualified and when leads get routed to your estimators.","question":"Can CallMyLeads handle inquiries for design-build and tenant improvement projects differently from plan-and-spec bids?"},{"answer":"Always. Honest disclosure is a feature, not something hidden. Every caller knows they're talking to AI and can reach a human, use text, or book online. Business texting is registered under US carrier rules (A2P 10DLC), consent and quiet-hours laws are followed, and opt-outs are honored immediately.","question":"Is the AI upfront that callers are talking to an AI, and can they reach a human?"},{"answer":"It starts with a free ~15-minute scoping call to settle the right plan. From there we connect your lead sources — website forms, ads, phone lines, chat, and referrals — and configure your qualification questions and routing. Once your response rules are set, everything runs automatically into your existing CRM and calendar.","question":"How long does setup take for a commercial GC firm?"},{"answer":"A traditional answering service takes messages. CallMyLeads responds in seconds, asks your qualification questions, scores the lead, books appointments with confirmations and reminders, and nurtures not-ready leads until they book — all tracked from source to outcome. Plus, screened spam and robocalls are never billed, and there's no contract or per-seat fee.","question":"How is this different from hiring an after-hours answering service?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Connect Your Lead Sources","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Website forms, ads, phone lines, chat, and referral sources all feed into one response system — your bid board inquiries, design-build requests, and tenant improvement leads included."},{"step":"2","title":"Set Your Qualification Rules","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"Tell us your qualification questions — project type, budget range, timeline, commercial vs. residential — and what counts as qualified.
