AI SDR & Lead Conversion Built for Public Relations Firms

{"faqs":[{"answer":"The AI SDR uses your calendar and qualification rules — company size, budget bands, service interest, decision-maker status — to route or book accordingly. Enterprise leads get flagged for immediate partner follow-up; SMB leads book directly onto junior AE calendars. All context transfers on handoff.","question":"How does Worqd's AI SDR handle the nuanced qualification our PR firm needs for enterprise vs. SMB prospects?"},{"answer":"Yes. Pipeline Recovery works on your existing CRM data — no platform switch required. The AI SDR reaches out to dormant contacts with personalized, permission-aware outreach (not template blasts) and books qualified conversations. You only pay for conversations that actually return.","question":"Can Worqd reactivate leads from media coverage we secured 12–18 months ago?"},{"answer":"No replacement needed. Worqd integrates with your existing CRM, calendar, phone, and helpdesk tools. The AI SDR books directly into your calendar, logs activity in HubSpot, and uses your dialer for handoff calls. One partner manages the whole path without adding tools.","question":"We already use HubSpot and a separate dialer. Does Worqd replace either?"},{"answer":"Paid campaigns and outreach can start producing inquiries within days of launch. AI SDR deployment and CRM integration typically go live in the same week — the Build → Launch → Optimize → Recover process is designed for speed, not months of implementation.","question":"How fast can we go from signed agreement to AI SDR live on our inbound?"},{"answer":"Fractional SDRs don't work 24/7, cost 4–5x more per qualified conversation, and lack integrated creative and ad management. Chatbots can't qualify via voice, hand off with context, or reactivate old CRM data. Worqd is one retainer partner running the full funnel — ads, creative, AI SDR, and recovery — with one report.","question":"What makes Worqd different from hiring a fractional SDR team or using a chatbot widget?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Book a Growth Call","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Share your current lead flow, CRM setup, and qualification criteria on a free 30-minute call.

In an industry where 57% of PR firms expect revenue growth but only 50% anticipate profit increases, every overnight inquiry that goes cold directly erodes the margin between new business wins and actual profitability. A prospect who reads your client's coverage, visits your site, and fills out a contact form on a Saturday expects a response — not a Monday-morning callback.
