Routing and human handoff

Match every qualified lead with the right eligible agent.

Translate territories, owners, groups, ponds, source rules, schedules, and first-answer logic into a handoff system that updates Follow Up Boss after the human connects.

Routing inputs

Your business rules become explicit system rules.

01

Territory

Route by location, market, listing area, service line, or any structured geography available to the workflow.

02

Ownership

Preserve agent-owned leads, treat ponds and groups differently, and define reassignment exceptions.

03

Availability

Use working hours, schedules, eligibility, escalation order, and fallback paths before ringing.

04

First answer wins

Ring multiple eligible agents while the lead stays on the line; assign the person who actually connects.

05

Booking fallback

When no one answers, offer a calendar, schedule follow-up, or place the lead into an approved queue.

06

Write-back

Record the selected agent, transfer result, summary, stage, tags, and next action on the FUB record.

Handoff sequence

The lead should never wonder what happened next.

Each handoff has a defined success, no-answer, decline, voicemail, disconnected, and retry path.

  • AI summarizes motivation and qualification before or during handoff.
  • Eligible agents receive context rather than a blind call.
  • The lead remains in a coherent conversation if no human connects.
  • Assignment reflects the actual outcome rather than the attempted outcome.

Timothy implementation

Eight agents, with two to three eligible agents per territory.

The tested design kept the lead on the call, rang eligible agents, and used the first successful answer as the handoff and assignment outcome.

We will turn it into a deterministic routing and fallback map.
