    How prospecting works.

    Prospecting means Rafi is actively engaged with a lead — dialing, texting and emailing to make contact, qualify, and either transfer or book it — from first touch until the lead is resolved.

    The full loop

    Lead Routing
    Your CRM or a lead provider
    Prospecting
    Calls · texts · emails to connect & qualify
    Qualification
    Per your playbook
    Qualified path
    Live Transfer Attempt
    SMS + email to the full team — first click wins
    Claimed within 1 minute?
    Yes → call patched through now
    No claim → Rafi books the appointment
    Team notified by SMS + email with the details
    Disqualified path
    Declined / Removed
    Bad info, DNC, not interested — auto-updated in system
    Transfer & Linking
    Webhook to your CRM — or Rafi acts as one
    Back to Lead Routing
    The loop restarts on the next trigger

    Leads enter Rafi through a webhook, get worked until contact and qualification, race a one-minute live-transfer window with your team, and land back in your CRM via webhook — which can re-trigger the loop on the next stage change or tag.

    The five steps

    1

    Prospecting

    Rafi makes outbound calls, texts and emails to your leads — connecting, following up and qualifying them before booking appointments for your sales team. Rafi keeps following up until contact is made.

    • 124+ touches / lead / month
    • 4+ touches / day
    • 80% connection rate (30 days)
    • 1 : 6 qualified (60 days)
    2

    Contact Made

    Once contact is made — by phone, email or text — Rafi asks qualification questions based on your playbook. Qualified leads continue through the process; disqualified leads are respectfully declined.

    • Qualified → continues to Step 3
    • Bad info, DNC, not interested → auto-updated

    Qualified

    Rafi attempts a live transfer to your sales team: an SMS and email go out to everyone on the account, and whoever clicks the link first gets the call transferred directly to them. If no one claims it within one minute, Rafi gets back on the phone and books an appointment instead — your team is notified by SMS and email with the date, time and details.

    • Claimed in time → live transfer
    • 1-minute window
    • Not claimed → appointment booked

    Transfer & Linking

    Accepted live transfers and booked appointments trigger a webhook that pushes the lead into your CRM or other endpoint. No CRM set up? You can use Rafi as your CRM instead, with everything retained in the platform. Transferred data can include any call or lead details you want, mapped into your system.

    • Webhook out on transfer or booking
    • Rafi can act as your CRM

    Lead Routing

    Leads route into Rafi through webhooks and integrations like Zapier — from lead providers, or directly from your own CRM. When routing from your CRM, the recommended approach is a trigger event: a lead moving to a specific stage, or a tag being added, moves that lead into Rafi for prospecting.

    • Webhooks / Zapier
    • Trigger: stage change or tag added

    Rafi is engaged with prospecting on a lead from the first outbound touch until it is transferred, booked, or resolved.
