Interior Designers: Qualify Projects Before the First Meeting

Not every 'Can you design my villa?' message is a real project. Squidfy qualifies leads by budget, scope and timeline so your designers spend time on the right clients.

Interior design firms receive many enquiries, but only some fit their scope and budget. Qualifying them by phone takes hours each week.

Squidfy's AI answers questions about your services and process, collects project scope, size and budget, and puts qualified leads into your pipeline.

Common WhatsApp challenges

Unqualified leads. Time spent on enquiries that don't fit. Long project cycles. Leads go cold between proposal and contract. Client communication across teams. Designers, project managers and site teams.

Internal notes

Client style preferences and site notes kept with the chat.

What to add to your knowledge base

The AI answers only from content you give it. Start with: Services and fee structure; Design process; Portfolio highlights; Timelines; Site visit policy.

Which plan fits?

Standard suits small studios. Larger firms with several designers will want Pro's 5 seats and analytics. Every plan includes the shared inbox and knowledge base; yearly billing saves 20%, and Meta's WhatsApp message charges are billed separately.

Pro tip

Include a portfolio link in your knowledge base so the AI can share examples of relevant projects.
