Overview

A lead messages you on Telegram at 11:40 pm and waits. Your rep is asleep, and by morning that person bought from a competitor who answered first. Daytime is no better: reps drown in "how much is it" and "can you do X," so hot leads get scraps of attention. A salesperson spends an estimated 60-70% of the day on qualification and repeat questions instead of closing.

Inbound Sales Pro is a ready AI inbound sales agent for Telegram on the ASCN platform. It takes the first line and walks each lead through the funnel from first message to payment:

  • 💬 Replies in seconds, 24/7 — a lead writes at night or on a weekend and gets an answer, not silence until morning.
  • 🎯 Scores every lead — rates them on four signals (fit, need, budget, urgency) and tags each one HOT, WARM, or COLD.
  • 🗣️ Handles objections with the ARPA framework — acknowledge, reframe, prove value, ask a follow-up. No pressure, no arguing.
  • 💳 Drives to the next action — payment, application, call, or demo. It shares the payment link but never takes money.
  • 🤝 Hands hot leads to your rep — complex or large clients go to a human with a short brief: who they are, what they want, which stage.

You run it from a normal chat in ASCN or Telegram. The owner can jump into any conversation with /stop and bring the agent back with /resume. Nothing to assemble by hand — the agent connects services on your request.

How the agent works

You don't need to be a developer. You manage it in plain chat.

  1. Install from the marketplace. Open the agent page, click "Use template," and the agent lands in your account in under 5 minutes.
  2. Connect Telegram in chat. Pick a mode: a separate bot or your personal account. The agent walks you through the setup.
  3. Connect your CRM and email. Type "Connect Google Sheets and Gmail," the agent gives an OAuth link, one click to authorize. Leads land in a sheet, applications come in from email.
  4. Tune it to your niche. Tell it about your product, prices, target buyer, and top objections — it fills the knowledge base and pitches your exact offer.
  5. Launch tasks and run a test. The agent sets up a morning lead summary and, before going live, invites you to message it "as a customer" so you see a real dialog.
  6. Manage it in one chat. Adjust behavior, read summaries, and take over conversations right in ASCN chat or Telegram.

Why this beats hiring a first-line rep

  • Answers first, every time. Leads get a reply in seconds at any hour — nights, weekends, traffic spikes. The first reply often decides who wins the sale.
  • One subscription instead of a salary. A first-line sales rep runs $1,500-3,000/month plus payroll costs. The agent covers the first line for the price of the Start plan — $29/month as of 06/12/2026 (current pricing at ascn.ai/pricing).
  • Your rep works only hot leads. The agent filters out poor fits and hands the human the HOT-tagged leads, where the money is closest.
  • Same quality on every chat. Objections follow one framework, pitches lead with benefits, and quality holds up at chat number one hundred.
  • Scale without hiring. Volume doubles and the agent handles it — no overtime, no new headcount.

What users get

At 20+ leads a day, a first-line agent saves a rep roughly 4-6 hours daily: it clears up to 70% of routine questions and qualification, replies instantly, and passes only hot leads to a human.

Results depend on your niche, how well your product and objections are described in the agent's knowledge base, and how precisely the funnel is set up. The agent handles execution; your setup drives the outcome.

FAQ

Do I need to know how to code?

No. The agent installs from the marketplace and is set up in plain chat: you say what you need, and it connects Telegram, email, and your lead sheet and creates tasks.

How is my data kept safe?

Connections use official OAuth, tokens and keys sit in encrypted storage and never reach chats or logs. Each agent is isolated, and you can revoke access to any service at any time.

How is an ASCN agent different from a regular chatbot?

A chatbot follows a script. This agent runs the funnel: it scores leads, handles objections, drives to payment, and hands a hot lead to your rep with a brief.

Can I take over a conversation with a customer?

Yes. /stop pauses the agent in the current dialog so you reply yourself. /resume brings it back, /status shows paused dialogs, and /handoff passes you the conversation with a short brief.

Can I tune the agent to my niche?

Yes. Through the knowledge base and skills you set the product description, pricing, target buyer, and objection answers. The agent pitches your exact offer.

Which services does the agent work with?

Telegram is required — a bot or a personal account. Gmail for inquiries, Google Sheets or Notion as CRM, and Google Calendar for demo booking are recommended. You can connect any external MCP server.

Does the agent take payments?

No. It moves the lead to the next action and shares a payment link or form, but it doesn't take money and doesn't make phone calls.

How do I track what the agent does?

The agent sends a morning lead summary and a weekly funnel report to Telegram. The Tasks section shows the schedule, status, and run history.

Can I switch channels, say from a bot to a personal account?

Yes. Connect the Telegram mode you want; the sales logic stays the same.
