Let’s dive in.
🦾 A.I. In Action
Goal:
Score leads automatically based on form responses, send the right follow-up, and reduce manual qualification.
Tools You’ll Need:
Zapier: for automation
Magistral Small (via Together.ai or Hugging Face): for lead scoring
ChatGPT: for generating follow-up emails
A form tool: like Typeform, Google Forms, or HubSpot
Your CRM or Gmail: for sending the actual emails
Setup Instructions
Step 1: Create Your Lead Capture Form
Use Typeform, Google Forms, or HubSpot Forms to collect:
Name
Email
Company size
Pain point
Budget
Timeline
Make sure your tool is supported in Zapier as a trigger.
Step 2: Connect Zapier to the Form Tool
In Zapier, create a New Zap
Trigger App: Typeform (or your form app)
Trigger Event: New Form Submission
Map the fields (e.g. name, budget, timeline, etc.)
Step 3: Score the Lead with Magistral Small
You'll use a Webhook by Zapier → Custom Request to send the data to a Magistral Small endpoint (via Together.ai or your Hugging Face-hosted model).
Request Type: POST
Endpoint: Your Magistral Small hosted endpoint (Hugging Face or Together)
Payload Prompt:
json
Copy
{
"inputs": "You're a sales analyst. Score this lead from 1–10 based on their answers:\n\nCompany size: {{company_size}}\nPain point: {{pain_point}}\nBudget: {{budget}}\nTimeline: {{timeline}}\n\nJust return a single number from 1 to 10."
}
Output Parsing: Use a Formatter step to extract the score (as a number).
Step 4: Branch Based on Score
Add a "Filter" or "Paths" step in Zapier to route actions based on score:
If Score ≥ 8 → Path 1: VIP Email
If Score 5–7 → Path 2: Standard Follow-Up
If Score ≤ 4 → Path 3: Add to Nurture List
Step 5: Compose a Follow-Up Email Using ChatGPT
Add an OpenA.I. (ChatGPT) step
Use this prompt:
plaintext
Copy
Write a friendly follow-up email for a lead who scored {{score}} and is interested in [product/service]. Keep it personal and include a clear call-to-action.
Get the output and map it into the next Zapier step.
Step 6: Send the Email or Create a CRM Task
Tool: Gmail, Outlook, or CRM (e.g., HubSpot, Pipedrive)
Action: Send email to lead
Or: Create a follow-up task in CRM
Why This Works
Auto-qualifies leads 24/7
Custom email copy is tailored to interest level
No salesperson needed for the first touch
You only jump in for hot leads

🍳 What’s Cooking?
We had our monthly all team meeting the other day, and during it, we covered key metrics as usual. One of the highlights? We set an ad spend company record. 236,148.58 big buckeroos in one week!!! 😅 I can’t sugar coat it. Spending a quarter mil on ad spend made me sweat a little bit. It’s a lot.
At the same time, the numbers were there to support it. Our north star? Customer acquisition cost (or CAC). We were sitting at 1,543.40 dollars which is well within our range to be profitable. When the numbers look good, I’ve made sure the ads team knows that they can push aggressively. While this definitely qualifies as a company milestone, it doesn’t come overnight. We have creeped up incrementally. We continuously optimize our ads. I’ve hired ads rockstars who have deep knowledge of how to crush the ads game on Google, Facebook, YouTube, etc.
And you can, too. Step-by-step.
Until next week,
