Before live leads: test what the bot leaves in the CRM
Inbound call bots can sound fine on the phone and still leave a broken handoff in the CRM.
What hurt
Eric Siu (@ericosiu) is testing Grok Bot for inbound lead follow-up. Internal calls went well; the handoff is what he would verify next. His test: consenting internal contact + approved questions; listen and compare answers to CRM notes; check the next person can find the record and pick up; if incomplete, bot marks incomplete and explains why — then decide if live leads are ready. Tip only — no invented prompt. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Consenting internal contact first. Compare call ↔ CRM. Verify next-human pickup. Incomplete must be marked with why.
Bots
Inbound follow-up
Runs approved test calls, writes CRM notes, marks incomplete with why. Stops before live leads.
Plugins
HubSpot
Optional
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/ericosiu/status/2101416038554349921. Tip only — do not invent a system prompt.
- 2Pick one consenting internal contact and a short approved question list.
- 3Run one test call. Listen back and compare every answer to the CRM notes the bot wrote.
- 4Have a teammate try to find the record and continue — if stuck, fix the note shape before any live lead.
- 5If a call cannot finish, require incomplete + why. Keep live leads, sends, and spends behind your yes.
Approval fence
No live-lead calls, CRM writes that close deals, sends, or spends without your yes. Start internal-only.
What to tweak
Steal the handoff checklist before live leads. CRM residue beats a good-sounding call.
