LensmorOfficial Badge Qualifier
Transform raw booth conversation notes into a structured lead record — including tier, authority, fit, and next step — without inflating signals that aren't there.
When this skill triggers:
- Use it during the show or immediately after to triage leads while the conversation is still fresh
- Use it for live single-lead decisions or end-of-day batch qualification
- Do not use it to write the outbound sequence itself; hand the result to
post-show-followup
Workflow
Step 1: Normalize Raw Input
Accept any of these input formats:
- Typed booth notes ("Spoke with Sarah at Acme, she asked about pricing for 5 lines")
- Badge or business card OCR text (name, title, company, contact details)
- Voice transcript or dictated summary
- A mix of all three
If the user pastes badge text only, treat it as contact-only — do not infer conversation depth that wasn't described.
Extract and confirm these fields before proceeding:
- Contact name (badge or notes; unknown if absent)
- Job title (badge; unknown if absent)
- Company (badge; unknown if absent)
- How contact was made (scanned badge / brief chat / product demo / pricing discussion)
If critical fields are missing and the user is in a live session, ask a single clarifying question. If processing in bulk, mark as unknown and continue.
Step 2: Extract Structured Lead Facts
From the normalized input, pull explicit facts — not inferences:
| Field | Source | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Name / Title / Company | Badge or notes | Transcribe exactly; mark as unknown if absent |
| Email / Phone | Badge | Transcribe only if present; never fabricate |
| Need | Conversation notes | Only quote if explicitly stated; otherwise unknown |
| Urgency | Notes ("needs by Q3", "replacing system now") | Only when a timeline is given |
| Authority | Title + explicit role clues | Infer conservatively (see tier rules below) |
| Budget signal | Notes only | Only if the contact or rep mentioned it |
| ICP fit | Compare to ICP criteria if provided | Low / Medium / High; explain why |
Critical guard: if the input is a badge scan with no conversation notes, the output should reflect that — do not generate a "needs" field or urgency from a job title alone.
Step 3: Qualify Lead Conservatively
Apply a 4-signal score:
Authority — buying role based on title:
- Decision Maker: C-level, VP, Director, Plant Manager with budget authority
- Influencer: Manager, Engineer, Specialist — shapes decisions but likely not the buyer
- End User: Operator, Technician — useful but low authority
- Unknown: title absent or ambiguous
Need — was a problem or goal stated?
- Explicit: they said what they're trying to solve
- Implied: they attended a demo or asked product questions
- None: badge scan only
Urgency — timeline signal:
- Immediate: replacing something now, evaluating for current project
- Planned: mentioned a future cycle, budget in planning
- None: no timeline discussed
Fit — against ICP (if provided):
- High / Medium / Low based on company type, size signals, and industry
Tier assignment:
| Tier | Criteria |
|---|---|
| Hot (A) | All three: Authority ≥ Influencer + explicit Need + Urgency signal |
| Warm (B) | Any two of the three signals present (see combinations below) |
| Cold (C) | Zero or one signal, or badge-only with no conversation |
Warm tier signal combinations — any of these qualifies as Warm:
- Authority ≥ Influencer + explicit Need (no timeline given)
- Authority ≥ Influencer + Urgency (problem implied but not stated)
- Explicit Need + Urgency (authority unknown — genuine conversation but buyer unclear)
Do not upgrade a lead based on a prestigious company name or impressive title alone. A C-suite badge scan with no conversation is still Cold. Unknown authority alone never elevates a tier.
Step 4: Produce Follow-up Handoff
Output a structured lead card as formatted Markdown (do not wrap in a code block — the card should render as readable text):
## Lead: [Name] — [Tier]
**Contact**
- Name: [name or unknown]
- Title: [title or unknown]
- Company: [company or unknown]
- Email: [email or unknown]
- Phone: [phone or unknown]
**Qualification**
- Authority: [Decision Maker / Influencer / End User / Unknown]
- Need: [explicit statement or "not stated"]
- Urgency: [timeline signal or "none discussed"]
- ICP Fit: [High / Medium / Low / Unknown — reason]
- Tier: [Hot / Warm / Cold]
- Follow-up Class: [Tier 1 / Tier 2 / Tier 3]
- Why this Tier: [1 short line grounded in the actual signals]
**Conversation Summary**
[2–3 sentences summarizing what was actually discussed. If only a badge scan, say so plainly.]
**Recommended Next Step**
[Specific action for the sales rep — not generic. If no conversation happened, suggest a low-commitment outreach, not a proposal call.]
**Unknowns to resolve**
[List any critical qualification gaps: budget, decision timeline, who else is involved]
If the user submits multiple leads at once, output one card per lead, then a brief Batch Summary at the end:
## Batch Summary
- Hot (A): X leads
- Warm (B): X leads
- Cold (C): X leads
- Immediate priority: [names for same-day follow-up]
Next step: the lead cards produced here can be fed directly into post-show-followup — the Hot / Warm / Cold tiers map to its Tier 1 / Tier 2 / Tier 3 sequences.

Quality Checks
Before delivering results:
- Do not fill in
unknownfields with plausible guesses — gaps are more useful than fabrications - A badge-only contact should never receive an
Explicit needentry - Hot tier requires at least two confirmed signals — one signal is Warm at best
- Recommended next step must match the tier (no demo calls for Cold leads)
- If notes are ambiguous, surface the ambiguity rather than resolving it silently
Follow-up Classmust match the lead tier: Hot → Tier 1, Warm → Tier 2, Cold → Tier 3
