Inbound Sales Qualification Agent Template
A Methodology-Agnostic Agent Template
Today, we are open-sourcing one of our internal tools: The Inbound Sales Qualification Agent. It’s a customizable AI template built on n8n and Google Gemini that acts as your 24/7 Sales Development Representative (SDR).
What This Agent Does
This isn't just a chatbot that spits out generic answers. This is a state-aware agent that actively interviews your prospects.
- It Interviews: It engages inbound leads via chat or SMS, asking natural follow-up questions.
- It Remembers: It stores every answer in a Google Sheet database in real-time.
- It Qualifies: It checks off criteria as it learns them (e.g., Budget, Timeline, Authority).
- It Adapts: It knows what information is missing and only asks about what it doesn't know yet.
The "Magic" Feature: Use Any Methodology (BANT, MEDICC, SPIN)
We included a Dynamic Column Scanner into the workflow. This means you don't need to write code to change the qualification rules. You just change the headers in your Google Sheet.
- Want to use BANT? Name your columns
Budget,Authority,Need,Timeline. The AI will automatically ask questions to fill those cells. - Want to use MEDICC? Rename them to
Metrics,Economic Buyer,Decision Criteria. - Have a custom question? Add a column called
Favorite_Color. The AI will literally ask the user what their favorite color is.
How to Set It Up (~ 10 Minutes)
We’ve packaged this logic into a downloadable n8n template. Here is how to launch it:
- Download & Import: Import our JSON template into your n8n instance.
- The Sheet: Create a Google Sheet with a
session_idcolumn (Column A) and your methodology columns (Column B+). - Connect: Link your Google and Gemini API credentials in the clearly marked nodes.
- Launch: That’s it. Your agent is live and ready to qualify.

Our custom implementations go far beyond a simple Q&A:
- Live Meeting Support: Agents that sit in your meetings, transcribing and analyzing objections in real-time.
- Deep Use Case Analysis: Agents that cross-reference prospect pain points with your entire product documentation to suggest specific solutions.
