Potential market-fit lead
Basic lead exists, but contact quality and relevance are not yet confirmed.
SPANCO is a clean CRM pipeline model for managing leads from first signal to closed outcome. For Voice AI, it works best as an operational pipeline model rather than a scoring model. CHAMP + BANT decides quality; SPANCO decides where the lead is in the pipeline.
Use SPANCO to tell the team what operational step comes next for each lead after Voice AI qualification.
Basic lead exists, but contact quality and relevance are not yet confirmed.
Voice AI confirmed correct person, interest area, or early fit signal.
The AI has opened discovery and collected initial qualification signals.
Lead is asking for pricing, demo, callback, or direct rep discussion.
Lead has agreed, signed, or converted after the final sales step.
The closed deal is now handed into fulfillment, activation, or order processing.
These stage totals are now driven by live call-session data and refreshed automatically for the team.
Voice AI should move a lead through SPANCO based on concrete conversation outcomes, not vague impressions.
| SPANCO | Voice AI Trigger | CRM Action |
|---|---|---|
| Suspect | Imported lead, no live confirmation yet | Put into AI call list |
| prospect | Correct person confirmed, basic interest verified | Move to active qualification queue |
| Approach | CHAMP + BANT questions started | Track discovery responses and objections |
| Negotiation | Pricing/demo/callback/rep request | Assign sales rep, prioritize fast follow-up |
| Closed Deal | Lead agreed and the sale is won | Mark revenue as closed and confirm handoff |
| Order | Closed deal moved into order or fulfillment workflow | Hand over to onboarding, fulfillment, or delivery ops |
SPANCO should sit beside the score, not replace it. Sales teams need live stage ownership and recent movement.
Use CHAMP + BANT for qualification and SPANCO for CRM pipeline movement. That keeps the system explainable and actionable.
CHAMP + BANT tells the AI what to ask, what to confirm, and how strong the lead is.
SPANCO tells the CRM what the sales team should do next and where the lead sits in the funnel.
Keep this separate from the leads-scoring page. `/leads` should remain the intelligence and scoring view. This SPANCO page should remain the CRM stage and sales-process view.
