Outputs the team works with.
01
Lead classification
Inbound is sorted on arrival so a serious buyer enquiry is not sitting behind a vendor pitch in the same inbox.
02
Voice-matched replies
Responses are drafted in the broker's own voice, so a five-minute reply reads like the broker rather than an autoresponder.
03
CRM hygiene
Every conversation attaches a clean record, so the pipeline reflects reality without manual upkeep.

Engagement notes
What was in the way
Stride Commercial's inbound does not respect office hours. Enquiries landed in the evening, at weekends, and in the middle of showings.
Average response time ran about four hours, and overnight enquiries went cold before anyone saw them. For a boutique brokerage where the principal is also the responder, that is not a discipline problem. It is arithmetic.
What PSV built
PSV put an AI inbound desk across every channel the firm receives enquiries on, running continuously rather than during working hours.
Each enquiry is classified, a reply is drafted in the broker's own voice, and a clean record is attached to the CRM. The point is not just speed: the reply has to sound like the person whose name is on the listing, or the speed costs more than it gains.
CRM hygiene comes free with it. Every conversation lands as a record rather than as something to be reconstructed from an inbox later.
What changed
First replies go out in under five minutes, down from about four hours, which is more than 48 times faster.
Overnight and weekend enquiries get answered while the sender is still interested, instead of going cold.
About a day a week of senior time came back, and the CRM stays clean without anyone doing data entry to keep it that way.
