3 AI tools to increase lead gen for 6-figure solopreneurs

January 27, 2024

As a solopreneur, lead generation is the lifeblood of your business. But trying to attract, qualify, and follow-up with leads on your own can be an endless grind. 

There are only so many hours in the day - even for the most productive entrepreneurs. Reaching your revenue goals takes more than hustle alone.

That's where artificial intelligence (AI) comes in. AI sales assistants can automate lead gen activities to help you fill your pipeline and expand your reach.

In this post, we'll look at 3 powerful AI tools purpose-built to amplify lead generation for 6 and 7-figure solopreneurs.

Let's dive in!

AI Website Engagers to Attract More Leads

Your website is often the first touchpoint for potential leads. But turning visitors into contacts requires engaging experiences.

Conversational AI tools like Drift create interactive website experiences that convert. 

With Drift, you can launch pop-up chatbots on your site. As visitors browse pages, the chatbot engages them in real-time with personalized messaging and offers.

This provides a concierge-like buying experience that delights visitors. And it means you capture more contacts instead of losing traffic that leaves your site.

You can even integrate the chatbot with your CRM to trigger targeted messages based on leads' attributes and behavior. For example, the bot may ask about specific pain points or direct VIP prospects to book a call.

The end result? More enriched lead data and conversions from previously passive traffic.

AI Lead Qualifiers to Focus Efforts on Hot Prospects

Time spent calling or emailing cold prospects that aren't a fit is time wasted. But manually qualifying every inbound lead isn't scalable.

That's where AI lead qualifier tools like Leadlius shine. Leadlius integrates with your funnel to automatically call and engage new prospects using conversational AI.

The bot asks a series of customized questions you configure such as:

- What are your top business challenges?  

- Have you invested in services like ours before?

- What is your role in the buying decision?

Based on the lead's responses, the AI scores each prospect on criteria you pre-define. It then routes only qualified, sales-ready leads to your CRM for follow-up. 

This ensures your sales conversations are focused only on prime prospects truly interested in your offering.

AI Assistants to Book Demos at Scale

Booking demos and sales calls with promising leads quickly is critical but challenging to scale manually. 

AI sales assistants like Gong enable you to instantly book demos at scale.

After identifying qualified prospects, Gong will send tailored messaging and meeting invites via email or LinkedIn to schedule demos.

The AI handles the back-and-forth of securing times on your calendar. You simply show up for the booked meetings and focus on selling.

And some AI assistants like x.ai can manage scheduling changes, cancellations, and follow-ups automatically. This saves tons of coordination overhead.

The Payoff: Double or Triple Lead Gen Velocity

Combined, AI website engagement, lead qualification, and booking assistants provide end-to-end support to: 

- Increase conversions from your audience into leads  

- Identify and focus only on profitable prospects

- Efficiently schedule sales calls at scale  

This can double or triple the velocity of your lead gen while saving dozens of hours normally spent on manual outreach and coordination.

More inbound leads means hitting your revenue goals faster. And offloading repetitive tasks allows you to devote energy to high-value sales conversations.

Supercharge Lead Gen With a Custom AI Assistant

Beyond standalone tools, we at Criya allow you to build no-code customized AI assistants called digital twins.

A digital twin combines different AI capabilities into a single assistant tailored to your business needs.

For solopreneurs, this could include:

- An AI chatbot on your website to engage visitors 

- Lead qualification flows to score inbound prospects

- Automated email sequences to nurture leads

- Calendar integration to book sales calls 

With a digital twin fully customized to your workflows, you can take advantage of comprehensive AI support for lead generation.

The Future is Automated (But Still Human)

AI will become integral to solopreneurs who want to sustainably scale while avoiding burnout. Repetitive lead gen tasks are ideal for automation so you can provide the human touch where it matters most.

If done right, prospects may not even realize they're interacting with an AI until your human sales team takes over. And that's the point - AI supports you behind the scenes so you can deliver an elevated, personalized sales experience.

The future of high-performing lead generation blends AI efficiency with human relationships and strategy. Are you ready to supercharge your pipeline? Reach out if you want to discuss integrating AI tools or a complete digital assistant. Let's grow your business together!
