Three weeks later you have a half-built pipeline with stage names that don't match your actual sales motion, no automations attached, and no idea which deals are about to fall through. The new **AI Pipeline Builder** inside unLocked CRM does both jobs at once: it builds the pipeline for you in seconds, and it never stops watching it. ## How it works Open **Contacts & Pipelines**, click **AI Build**, and describe the pipeline you need: > *"Medicare AEP enrollment pipeline with SOA stage."* The AI returns a complete 7-stage pipeline with the right stage names, the right required fields per stage, default automations (SMS reminders, SOA timers, follow-up cadences), and an estimated time-in-stage benchmark for each step: | # | Stage | Default Automation | | --- | --- | --- | | 01 | New Lead | Auto-assign + welcome SMS within 5 minutes | | 02 | Contacted | Day-2 follow-up if no reply | | 03 | SOA Signed | 48h compliance timer + SOA storage | | 04 | Needs Analysis | Discovery questionnaire sent | | 05 | Quoted | 24h follow-up SMS + quote-viewed tracking | | 06 | Application | E-app + signature workflow | | 07 | Enrolled | Confirmation + onboarding sequence | Hit **"Use this pipeline & open builder"** and the AI hands off to the visual editor where you can re-order stages, rename, or wire in custom triggers. ## The part nobody else does: insights forever Building the pipeline is the easy half. The hard half is keeping it healthy. The unLocked AI Pipeline Builder includes a **continuous insights layer** that runs on top of every pipeline you have — not just the AI-generated ones. Every pipeline view ships with three live insight cards: ### 1. Stuck Deals The AI flags deals sitting too long in any stage. Example: > **8 deals stuck >7 days in Underwriting.** Recommended action: send the carrier status-check template — clears 73% of these historically. ### 2. Conversion Drops Stage-to-stage conversion rates are tracked continuously. When one drops vs. your 30-day baseline, the AI surfaces it: > **42% conversion drop at SOA stage.** Top cause: no SMS reminder within 24 hours of appointment booked. Recommended fix: enable the SOA reminder cadence. ### 3. Revenue at Risk Weighted forecast minus expected closes that haven't happened: > **$23,400 at risk this week.** 5 deals past their expected close date. AI ranks the 2 most likely to save with a call today. ## Next Best Action on every card Beyond pipeline-level insights, every individual deal card gets an AI-recommended next step ranked by close-probability lift: - "Call now — last contact was 6 days ago and they viewed the quote twice yesterday" - "Send the Plan G vs Plan N comparison — they asked about both on the discovery call" - "Schedule SOA — DOB indicates AEP eligibility, they have not signed yet" You stop guessing what to do next. The pipeline tells you. ## Four starter prompts Don't know what to type? The modal pre-loads four high-leverage insurance prompts: 1. **Medicare AEP enrollment pipeline with SOA stage** — 7 stages, AEP-ready 2. **Life insurance new business pipeline from lead to issued** — 8 stages with exam ordered + underwriting 3. **Final expense pipeline with underwriting holds** — dedicated hold bucket with auto-follow-up 4. **Annuity pipeline with suitability review** — includes suitability + transfer paperwork ## Wired into everything Generated pipelines aren't isolated kanban boards — they're connected to: - **Voice OS** — "What's the next best action on the Henderson deal?" answered out loud - **Agent AI** — outbound AI works the recommended actions automatically - **Family Trees** — household relationships factor into deal prioritization - **Renewal Dashboard** — won deals auto-flow into the renewal command center - **Commission+** — closed-won deals reconcile against carrier statements automatically No Zapier. No exports. No "we'll sync overnight." ## What it replaces | Tool | Monthly cost | What it does | | --- | --- | --- | | HubSpot Sales Hub | $90–$150/seat | Generic kanban, no insurance logic, no AI insights | | Salesforce + Einstein | $165+/seat | Insights cost extra, requires admin to configure | | Pipedrive AI | $39–$79/seat | Generic AI, no insurance-aware stages | | Spreadsheets | "free" | No automation, no insights, no audit trail | | **unLocked AI Pipeline Builder** | **Included** | Insurance-aware, insights built in, fully wired | ## Try it The AI Pipeline Builder and the continuous insights layer are included on every unLocked CRM plan starting today.
