Speed to Lead

Answer every inbound inquiry fast, in the owner's voice, without the owner having to be at their desk.

This is the most visceral pain owners describe. The recurring phrase is "nothing falls through the cracks." Owners are not asking for more leads — they are losing the ones they already have because nobody replied before the prospect called the next name on their list. Speed is the entire product.

Step 1 — Find what came in

Check every inbound channel in one parallel pass:

• Gmail or Microsoft 365 — the shared or sales inbox, filtered to inquiries, confirmed as the owner's before the first read (../../shared/tenant-scope.md)
• HubSpot — new contacts and form submissions since the last run
• Website form notifications — usually arriving as email
• RingEx Chat — not an inbound-lead source; it is where a hot lead gets handed to a human. See below.

Note anything already answered by a human and leave it alone. Replying underneath a colleague's response is worse than not replying.

Without connectors, this runs on forwarded or pasted inquiries. The owner forwards the inquiry, and the skill does the rest. That is a complete path — it just isn't automatic.
