Sales Enquiries with Team Follow-up

Answers new enquiries, asks three quick questions with buttons and hands people who want to talk to your team in Live Chat. Each step is recorded as an event, so CRM → Leads shows how far every person got.

Who it's for: For course creators, coaches and small sales teams that answer enquiries in Telegram and want to see who is waiting for a reply and who stopped halfway.

The alert your team gets in Telegram

How it works

  • Someone opens your bot; the first visit is recorded as the event enquiry_started
  • They get a short welcome and tap to answer three questions: what they want, their experience, when they want to start
  • The answers are saved on the contact, and the event qualification_completed is recorded
  • The bot asks whether they want someone from the team to message them
  • Yes: the event sales_handoff_requested is recorded, your team gets an alert with the answers, and the chat opens in Live Chat for a person to reply
  • Not now: your team gets a quieter alert with the answers, and the person can write later

Setup requirements

  • Turn on leads in CRM → Leads (an owner or admin can do it).
  • In CRM → Leads → Stage setup, add enquiry_started, qualification_completed and sales_handoff_requested as stages in that order, put sales_handoff_requested under Events that need us, and press Confirm setup.
  • For sales, turn off “Close leads that stop replying” in Stage setup, so nobody is closed before you follow up.
  • New-enquiry alerts go to your team through notification settings. Check that everyone who answers enquiries has at least one channel on (Telegram, email or push).
  • Send /start to your bot, answer the questions and tap “Yes, message me”. Check that the alert arrives and that you appear in CRM → Leads under Waiting on us.
  • Change the questions and buttons to fit your offer.

Details

Good to know

  • Three events mark how far a person got: enquiry_started (only the first visit), qualification_completed and sales_handoff_requested (every time, so a returning customer who asks again reaches the team again).
  • The events do not change a lead by themselves. In CRM → Leads → Stage setup you choose which events are stages and which ones need a reply.
  • “Open Live Chat” hands the person to your team: the bot stops answering them until the conversation is resolved in Live Chat.
  • Each question saves the tapped answer into a contact variable, so the answers show on the contact and can be used in filters and broadcasts.
  • The bot does not see payments made elsewhere. When someone buys, mark the lead Won in CRM → Leads.

Common questions

  • Which three questions tell you most about a new enquiry?
  • What do you sell: a course, coaching, a consultation?
  • Who on your team answers enquiries?

Keep in mind

  • Keep it one linear enquiry flow with one offer to talk; do not add payments, scoring or a nurture sequence to this template.
  • Do not record an event on every message or button; keep the three milestones so the stages stay readable.
  • Do not rename the event names after people have reached them: a renamed event splits your history in two.
  • Do not record a purchase from a link click. Mark a real sale as Won in CRM → Leads.

The flow behind this bot

This is the whole flow you get. Once you add the template, you can change any message, button or step.
