AI Sales Inquiry Automation with Human Control

As a technology and automation partner supporting EdiDev, 2FSOFT contributed to the design and delivery of an AI-powered sales workflow for Metropolis Vertimai. The solution helps classify inbound inquiries, prepare response drafts, coordinate proposal follow-ups, and keep commercial decisions under human control.

Inquiry Classification

AI helps identify genuine sales requests from incoming messages.

Human Approval

Employees review, edit, approve, decline, or regenerate drafts.

Follow-up Control

The workflow supports follow-up timing while people control sending.

The business challenge

Manual inquiry handling can slow down sales response preparation

Metropolis Vertimai receives service inquiries that require reading, qualification, lead handling, response drafting, proposal coordination, and follow-up tracking. Without a structured workflow, important sales context can become fragmented across inboxes and manual tasks.

01

Repetitive message review

Sales staff need to repeatedly read incoming messages, decide whether they are genuine inquiries, and identify missing information.

02

Fragmented lead context

Inquiry details, draft responses, proposal status, and follow-up timing can be difficult to coordinate manually.

03

Follow-up dependency on memory

When prospects do not respond, teams need a controlled way to detect follow-up opportunities and prepare consistent next steps.

What 2FSOFT built

Designing a Practical AI Sales Inquiry Automation Workflow

Working alongside EdiDev, 2FSOFT helped deliver an AI Sales Inquiry and Proposal Assistant that turns fragmented inquiry handling into a controlled workflow. The system supports staff by preparing information and drafts while leaving customer communication and commercial decisions to humans.

01 · QUALIFY

Detect translation quote requests

AI assists with classifying incoming messages so teams can focus on genuine translation and localization inquiries.

02 · PREPARE

Generate multilingual proposal drafts

The workflow prepares a response that accounts for language pair, document type, and certification needs.

03 · REVIEW

Nothing sends without sign-off

Employees review, edit, approve, decline, or regenerate drafts before customer-facing action.

04 · FOLLOW UP

Coordinate translation follow-ups

The system supports follow-up draft preparation after a defined period when a prospect has not replied.

Core capabilities

Core Capabilities of the AI Sales Assistant

The solution model combines AI email response automation, CRM lead automation, proposal draft support, and a built-in review step before anything reaches a prospect.

AI inquiry classification

Detect whether an incoming message is likely to be a sales inquiry and prepare it for lead handling.

CRM / lead synchronization

Support lead creation, lead updates, status tracking, and sales context synchronization with CRM workflows.

AI proposal drafting

Generate response or proposal-oriented drafts based on the inquiry context and service requirements.

Approval workflow

Allow employees to review, edit, approve, decline, or regenerate drafts before customer-facing communication.

How teams use it

How sales teams use the workflow day to day

The assistant is designed around real sales operations: incoming requests, proposal preparation, status visibility, and follow-up coordination. The examples below are anonymized and illustrative.

We need a quote for translation from English to Lithuanian. Can you check the request and prepare a reply?

Illustrative example: The workflow identifies this as a quote request, prepares the lead context, drafts a response asking for missing details such as document type, word count, deadline, and certification needs, then waits for human review.

Prepare a follow-up for this proposal. Why is this lead still waiting for action?

Illustrative example: The workflow can show that the proposal is waiting for customer response and prepare a polite follow-up draft. The operator still decides whether and when it should be sent.

Results & benefits

What Changed for the Sales Team

The workflow replaces fragmented manual handling with a structured review queue. These are the operational improvements the model is designed to deliver — not performance promises, but the shift in how work happens.

Faster inquiry processing

Drafts are prepared automatically as inquiries arrive, so staff start from a ready response instead of a blank page.

Consistent customer communication

Every translation quote reply follows the same structure and tone, regardless of which team member sends it.

Human-controlled approvals

Nothing reaches a prospect without a person reviewing, editing, or approving the draft first.

Better lead visibility

A single review queue replaces scattered inbox threads, showing what's pending, drafted, or sent at a glance.

Review queue

Only the numbers reviewers need for AI draft handling.

Capture

AI governance and trust

Built So People Stay Accountable

The workflow was intentionally designed so AI supports sales operations without independently sending proposals, deciding commercial pricing, or making final commitments

Human approval before sending

AI-generated drafts remain internal until an employee reviews and approves the communication.

Controlled commercial decisions

Operators remain responsible for lead status, proposal readiness, pricing decisions, and final customer commitments.

Traceable workflow actions

Status tracking and basic auditability help teams understand what was drafted, reviewed, approved, declined, or sent.

Reusable workflow model

Reusable Beyond Translation Services

The same model can support any B2B service organization that receives recurring quote requests and wants faster preparation — without removing people from the decision.

01

Professional services

Consulting, legal, accounting, advisory, and language service teams handling repeat service inquiries.

02

Agencies and IT providers

Teams that receive project requests, need qualification, and prepare similar proposal-oriented replies.

03

Logistics and distribution

Businesses managing quote requests, lead routing, and follow-up coordination across operational teams.

04

Manufacturing and B2B sales

Companies that need structured inquiry intake, CRM lead context, and controlled proposal communication.

Frequently asked questions

Questions buyers ask about AI sales inquiry automation

These answers explain how the model supports service businesses while keeping sales teams in control.

No. This workflow is designed to support sales teams, not replace them. AI helps classify inquiries, prepare drafts, and suggest follow-up actions, while employees review content, manage lead status, approve customer-facing communication, and make commercial decisions.

AI proposal automation can read an incoming request, identify relevant service details, prepare a proposal-oriented response draft, and attach the draft to the lead workflow. A human then reviews, edits, approves, or declines the draft before anything is sent to a prospect.

Yes. The solution model can support CRM lead automation by preparing inquiry information for CRM records, synchronizing lead context, and tracking statuses through API or webhook integrations. The exact integration depends on the existing systems and approval rules.

The workflow can detect when a proposal may need follow-up and generate a draft message, but the sales team remains responsible for review and approval. The system supports timing, consistency, and visibility without independently making final customer commitments.
