Background

Founded in 2018 by former Salesforce leaders, Qualified was created to solve a major challenge: website visitors often leave without ever being engaged, even if they’re a great fit. Qualified and Piper the AI SDR Agent change that. Piper works your entire funnel across email, your website, and real-time conversational channels. She engages prospects wherever they are through text, chat, or even personalized video, starting meaningful conversations the moment buyers show intent.

Piper identifies the right accounts, nurtures prospects over time, and converts qualified buyers into meetings automatically. Always on and always consistent, Piper ensures every opportunity is recognized, engaged, and moved forward.

Qualified is an AI-powered agentic marketing platform that automatically converts website traffic into pipeline. Built for B2B marketing teams using Salesforce, Qualified combines real-time engagement, buyer intent signals, and deep CRM integration to surface and convert ideal prospects using the website and email inbox.

Core use cases

• Identify website visitors in real time. Get full visibility into who’s on a site (what company they're from, what pages they visit, and where they are in the buyer journey).
• Piper the AI SDR Agent engages visitors with AI chat, voice, video, and email. These AI sales development representative agents start conversations, answer questions, book meetings, and nurture leads via email,  instantly.
• Qualifying leads & routing intelligently. Automatically qualify leads based on firmographics and intent data, then route the best leads to the right reps, so sales teams only focus on high-value prospects.
• Automating follow-up and nurturing. Piper the AI SDR Agent is also used to facilitate timely follow-up emails to personalized offers, and an AI SDR agent stays engaged with prospects so that no leads are lost when human reps are offline.
• Deep CRM + martech stack integration. Because Qualified is built natively on Salesforce and integrates with common tools (e.g. marketing automation, ABM platforms), everything syncs (visitor data, lead status, conversation history), keeping the sales funnel clean and collaborative.
