AI Readiness Lead Magnet Playbook
A step-by-step guide for building the full AI Readiness Snapshot survey, checklist, CRM lead capture, and sales-engagement automation workflow inside the AI Business Integration Hub. This is our team build plan, designed to be executed together.
What's Already Built (Live Now)
- Two funnel pages, /ai-readiness-snapshot (15-question, 5-dimension self-scoring survey with animated score dial and dimension breakdown) and /ai-readiness-checklist (interactive 4-pillar, 15-item governance checklist).
- CRM lead capture wired, both funnels fire a form-submission event to the CRM on submit, creating a contact with 6 custom fields: Lead Source, AI Readiness Score, AI Readiness Tier, Business Type, Employee Count, and Current Tech Stack.
- Site-wide cross-links, nav dropdowns, mobile menu, footer, home page lead-magnet banner, cross-link hub, and support page CTAs all drive traffic to both funnels.
Can AI Studio + the Hub Build the Full Survey, Course & Workflow?
Yes. The website-side survey and checklist are already live and capturing leads. The remaining pieces, a structured self-led course, automated email/SMS sequences, and pipeline-stage workflows, are built inside the Hub using native tools. Here's the complete build plan, step by step.
The Complete Build Plan, 7 Steps
The Survey & Checklist Pages (DONE)
CompleteThe self-scoring survey (15 questions across Technology, Data, Team, Strategy, Risk) and the interactive 4-pillar checklist are live. Both calculate a score client-side and present results instantly, no backend needed for the scoring logic.
To extend into a full self-led course: Use the Hub's native Course/Membership builder (or AI Studio to generate the course pages). Break the 5 survey dimensions into 5 short modules, each with a video, a knowledge check, and a progress tracker. Gate the course behind the same lead-capture form so every enrollee enters the CRM.
CRM Custom Fields & Lead Capture (DONE)
CompleteSix custom fields are registered in the CRM and wired into both funnels' submit handlers:
- • Lead Source (Snapshot vs Checklist)
- • AI Readiness Score (0–100)
- • AI Readiness Tier (Foundation / Ready / Advanced / Optimized)
- • Business Type (10 verticals)
- • Employee Count
- • Current Tech Stack
Every submission creates a contact with these fields populated, so you can segment and prioritize leads by score, tier, and vertical.
Build the Sales-Engagement Workflow
To BuildInside the Hub, create a Workflow triggered by Form Submission (filter by formId: ai-readiness-snapshot or ai-readiness-checklist). Recommended sequence:
- 1. Add contact to pipeline stage "AI Readiness Lead" (new pipeline stage).
- 2. Send instant SMS: "Thanks for taking the AI Readiness Snapshot! Your score: [AI Readiness Score]. Your action plan is on the way."
- 3. Send email with personalized action plan template (use the AI Readiness Tier field to branch content).
- 4. Branch by score: Score ≥ 70 → assign to sales rep for priority call within 4 hours. Score 40–69 → nurture sequence. Score < 40 → educational content + strategy session invite.
- 5. Create a task for the assigned rep: "Call AI Readiness lead, [Business Name], score [Score], [Business Type]."
- 6. Wait 3 days → if no meeting booked, send follow-up email with calendar link.
Email Automation Sequence
To BuildBuild a 5-email nurture sequence in the Hub's email builder (use Content AI / Ask AI to draft each email in your Brand Voice):
- Email 1 (Day 0): Action plan delivery + score recap + calendar link.
- Email 2 (Day 2): "Your AI Readiness Tier explained", what [Tier] means and the top 3 actions to take.
- Email 3 (Day 5): Case study / vertical-specific success story (use Business Type field to personalize).
- Email 4 (Day 9): "The cost of waiting", competitive pressure + NIST governance framing.
- Email 5 (Day 14): Final CTA, free strategy session + limited onboarding slot.
SMS & Task Automation
To BuildIn the same workflow, add SMS touchpoints (use the Hub's SMS builder with your telephony configured):
- • Instant SMS on submission (score confirmation)
- • Day 3 SMS: "Still thinking about AI? Book a 15-min call: [calendar link]"
- • Day 7 SMS: Vertical-specific tip (e.g., "Restaurants using AI receptionists capture 100% of missed calls")
Create tasks at each stage so no lead goes cold. Assign by round-robin or by vertical specialization.
Pipeline & Sales Stage Setup
To BuildCreate a dedicated pipeline: "AI Readiness Lead Funnel" with stages:
- 1. AI Readiness Lead (entered via snapshot/checklist)
- 2. Contacted (SMS/email sent)
- 3. Strategy Session Booked
- 4. Strategy Session Held
- 5. Proposal Sent
- 6. Won, Onboarded
- 7. Lost / Nurture
Use the AI Readiness Score custom field to sort and prioritize the lead list, high-score leads get called first.
Self-Led Course (Optional Phase 2)
To BuildTo turn the snapshot into a full self-led course (higher-value lead magnet), use the Hub's Membership/Course builder or AI Studio:
- 1. Create 5 modules (one per survey dimension): Technology, Data, Team, Strategy, Risk.
- 2. Each module: a 3–5 min video (use AI Studio to generate or record), a 1-page PDF action guide, and a 3-question knowledge check.
- 3. Gate access behind the lead-capture form (same formId). Course enrollment = CRM contact creation.
- 4. Award a "AI Readiness Certified" badge on completion, triggers a final workflow that books the strategy session.
- 5. Track progress in the CRM with a custom field (Course Progress %) updated by workflow at each module completion.
