The chatbot's last message should never be the end of your sales process.
The idea
Decide which conversations need a person, who owns them and when they will be reviewed. A useful handoff includes the visitor's question and relevant context, so staff do not restart the interview. Agree on a response standard your team can actually maintain, including weekends and holidays. Do not promise instant help if it is not staffed.
Put it into practice
- Create a simple owner and review schedule for the inbox.
- Write a first human reply that refers to the customer's actual question.
- Mark conversations complete only after the next step is clear.
What this looks like
A roofing company could assign new quote inquiries to the office manager each morning and have project-specific questions reviewed by an estimator.
What to measure
Track time to human response and the percentage of handoffs that receive a concrete next step.
