Opening: "Hi [First Name], this is [AI Name] from [Company]. I'm reaching out because [personalization based on lead data]. Do you have 30 seconds?"
Qualification Q1: "Are you currently using any [solution category] in your business?"
Qualification Q2: "What's your biggest challenge with [pain point]?"
Qualification Q3: "If we could solve [pain point], would it make sense to schedule a 15-minute demo?"

Set Objection Handling Rules
Configure responses for common objections:
- "Not interested" → "I understand. Just curious - are you happy with your current [solution], or is it something you haven't explored yet?"
- "Send me an email" → "Absolutely. While I have you, can I ask one quick question so I send you something relevant?"
- "How did you get my number?" → "Your information was in our business database. I can remove you from our list if you'd prefer."
- "I'm busy" → "Totally understand. When would be a better time to chat for 2 minutes?"
Step 4: Set Compliance Guardrails (5 minutes)
Enable these compliance features before launching:
TCPA Compliance
- ✅ Set calling hours: 8 AM - 9 PM in the recipient's timezone
- ✅ Enable DNC list checking (federal + state lists)
- ✅ Configure AI bot disclosure: "I should let you know this call is assisted by AI technology"
- ✅ Set maximum call attempts per lead (recommended: 3)
- ✅ Enable opt-out handling: unknown "stop" or "remove me" triggers immediate list removal
State-Specific Rules
- California: Enable CIPA two-party consent recording disclosure
- Florida: Enable additional consumer protection disclosures
- Other states: Jobix.AI auto-applies state-specific rules based on recipient area code
Step 5: Launch Your First Campaign (3 minutes)
Your AI agent will begin calling leads, qualifying them, and logging results to your CRM in real-time.
Step 6: Optimize From First Results (5 minutes)
After your first 50 calls, review these metrics:
- Connection rate: What percentage of calls reached a live person? (Target: 25-40%)
- Qualification rate: What percentage of connections were qualified? (Target: 15-30%)
- Appointment rate: What percentage of qualified leads booked a meeting? (Target: 30-50%)
- Top objections: What are leads saying? Adjust scripts accordingly.
