The version of AI lead qualification that works for a Queenstown business is rarely the version a national vendor would sell you. We build the one that fits how your team actually operates – usually with fewer parts than the off-the-shelf pitch.

Built and supported here – the way a Queenstown business would actually use it.

Every form-fill, every missed call, every Instagram DM – scored, enriched, and routed within minutes. Your team only sees leads that match your ideal customer.
- 01 Auto-enriches with NZBN, company size, and history
- 02 Scores using your past won/lost deals as training data
- 03 Hot leads get SMS-routed to the right rep instantly
- 04 Cold leads enter nurture, not the bin
Built on: Claude HubSpot NZBN API Twilio Vercel
Otago
The Queenstown context, plainly.
- Queenstown's economy is tourism on rails – peak season is chaos, shoulder season is brutal. AI smooths both.
- Hospitality, accommodation, adventure operators, and a tight labour pool that empties every winter. AI here means coverage when staff can't be hired.
We work with teams across Queenstown: CBD · Frankton · Arrowtown · Jack's Point · Arthurs Point · Wanaka.
Talk to us about this →How we build AI lead qualification for a Queenstown team.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Queenstown business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI scores your leads.

Sales reps spend 70% less time on dead-end conversations. For Queenstown teams, that almost always shows up as fewer interruptions and a calmer week, not a dashboard chart.
Not your typical AI agency.

Ships the one workflow that pays for itself
Hours given back, never the size of the invoice

Questions
FAQ
What's a typical engagement length for Queenstown businesses?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes – on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Sales reps spend 70% less time on dead-end conversations.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default AI lead qualification stack we reach for is Claude, HubSpot, NZBN API, Twilio, Vercel, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run – Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
The honest version of a sales call.
No deck. No discovery doc. Just whether this is worth building and what it would cost.
