Qualifying Instagram Leads Automatically (So You Only Talk to Serious Buyers)

TL;DR

• Not every DM is worth your time, many are casual browsers or freebie hunters.
• Small business owners often waste hours replying manually without closing sales.
• Inrō helps pre-qualify leads via automated questions (budget, needs, urgency).
• Smart qualification = fewer dead-end convos, more efficient sales.

You end up:
