The Problem
Hot solar leads go cold waiting for a callback.
Solar leads are time-sensitive — the longer it takes to call after they inquire, the less interested they are by the time someone picks up the phone. Manually dialing every lead, asking the same qualifying questions, and then going back and forth to find a time that works takes hours a sales team doesn't have.
On top of that, unqualified leads (renters, not homeowners) still eat up rep time, and appointments booked over the phone often get miscommunicated or never make it onto the calendar properly — leading to no-shows and wasted sales capacity.
The Solution
An AI voice agent that calls, qualifies, and books — automatically.
We built an automated calling system, using Bland AI for the voice call and Make for the automation layer, that turns a new row in a spreadsheet into a qualified, booked appointment — without a rep touching the phone.
Lead lands in the sheet
New leads — phone number, first name, last name, and address — are pushed into a Google Sheet as the single intake point.
AI calls within minutes
Within about 15 minutes of the lead being added, the automation triggers an AI phone call using Bland AI, and logs the call ID and status back onto that lead's row.
Qualifies the homeowner
The AI follows a set script, asking the questions needed to qualify the lead — including confirming they're a homeowner — before offering to book anything.
Books in real time
If the lead is qualified and interested, the agent checks real-time calendar availability, lets the customer choose a time, and creates the event directly on the calendar with the details discussed on the call.
Confirms and closes the call
The AI tells the customer their appointment is confirmed before ending the call — or, if they're not a fit, closes the conversation politely instead of pushing further.
Syncs the full record back
Once the call ends, a separate automation retrieves the call recording and a summary, and updates the same row in the sheet — so every call is fully documented without manual note-taking.
The Result
Leads called, qualified, and booked before they go cold.
