└──────────────┘ └──────────────┘ └──────────────┘Stage 1: Booking Link
Everything starts when a prospect visits your booking link.
What Happens:
- Visitor sees your availability (synced from Google Calendar or Outlook)
- They select a time slot that works for both parties
- Custom questions collect qualifying information
- Disqualification rules filter out poor-fit leads automatically
Data Captured:
- Name, email, phone
- Custom question responses
- UTM parameters (source, medium, campaign)
- Referring URL
- Timezone
Stage 2: Lead Creation
Once someone completes the booking, they become a lead in your pipeline.
Automatic Actions:
- Lead record created with all booking data
- Calendar invite sent to both parties
- Video conferencing link generated (Google Meet or Microsoft Teams)
- Lead appears in your Pipeline view
Pipeline Stages:
Interested → Qualified → Scheduled → Attended → Closed
↘ Cancelled
↘ Lost
↘ DisqualifiedStage 3: The Call
When the meeting time arrives, Aura's AI Notetaker joins automatically.
During the Call:
- Notetaker joins the video conference
- Records audio and video
- Generates real-time transcript
- Captures participant information
After the Call:
- Recording uploaded to secure storage
- Transcript processed and timestamped
- AI analysis begins
Stage 4: AI Analysis
Aura's AI scores every recorded call against the 7-stage framework.
7-Stage Scoring (each 1-10):
| Stage | What It Measures |
|---|---|
| Rapport | Frame-setting, authority, agenda |
| Discovery | Symptoms, pain, cost, emotional layers |
| Gap | How clearly the prospect's current-vs-desired gap was surfaced |
| Financial Qualification | Budget, decision authority, financial readiness |
| Pitch | Solution presentation tied back to the discovered gap |
| Objections | Anticipation, surfacing, and resolution of objections |
| Close | Clarity of ask, price reveal, next-step commitment |
Deliverables:
- Overall Score (0-100) headline
- Structure Score / Emotional Score / Closing Score / Buyer Certainty Index
- Three boolean checks: need acknowledged, gap sufficient, temp check before price
- Exactly 3 missed questions, 5 line rewrites, 3 action steps
Stage 5: Outcome Recording
After the call, mark the outcome to keep your pipeline accurate.
Outcome Options:
- Closed Won: Deal closed, optionally record cash collected
- Lost: Deal lost, capture loss reason
- No Show: Prospect didn't attend
- Rescheduled: New time booked
Stage 6: Analytics
All this data flows into comprehensive dashboards.
Available Views:
| Tab | What You See |
|---|---|
| Overview | KPIs, booking trends, revenue |
| Performance | Rep-level Apex scores, rankings |
| AI Insights | Score trends over time, improvement areas |
| Objections | Heat maps of common objections |
| Attribution | Lead sources, UTM performance |
