lead management workflow
PROBLEM:
Client received hundreds of emails every week from potential customers. Manually sorting inquiries, identifying qualified leads, responding to them, and notifying sales teams took several hours each day and often results in delayed responses and missed opportunities.
SOLUTION:
I built an AI-powered lead management workflow in n8n that automatically monitors incoming emails, identifies and categorises leads, generates personalised responses, sends replies instantly, and notifies the client about high-priority opportunities requiring attention.
RESULTS:
Reduced manual email processing time by up to 80–90%.
Saved approximately 15–20 hours per week of repetitive work.
Enabled near-instant responses to incoming leads.
Improved lead organisation and prioritisation.
Reduced the risk of missing valuable sales opportunities.
Allowed the client to focus on closing deals instead of managing inboxes.

Hiring 4,000 applicants every month isn't the hard part.
Managing them manually is.
Think about what happens when every candidate needs a response.
• Someone reviews applications.
• Someone sends interview invitations.
• Someone sends rejection emails.
• Someone assigns skills tests.
• Someone updates the CRM.
• Someone schedules interviews.
Now multiply that by thousands of applicants every month.
That's not recruitment.
Reject them? They receive a professional response while the CRM updates instantly.
Instead of relying on manual follow-ups, this recruitment workflow automates the entire process.
Approve a candidate? They automatically receive the next steps.
Reject them? They receive a professional response while the CRM updates instantly.
Need a skills assessment? It's sent automatically.
Ready for an interview? The invitation goes out without anyone writing another email.
The result isn't just faster hiring.
It's a hiring process that's consistent, scalable, and gives recruiters more time to focus on choosing the right people, not managing repetitive tasks.
The best automation isn't always the most impressive.
It's the one your team relies on every single day.

Hey Contra community!
I've decided to share my UX/UI design project, which was lead-generation-first to me.
Onyxer Academy is an edtech startup bootstrapped by a web development agency with a strong presence on Upwork.
The goals of the project were:
- Lead Generation through UX/UI design (my favourite!) = maximise conversion rates and make sure the marketing budget spent on customer acquisition, like ads and SMM, won't go to waste + the founder spent his own time on social media and his hourly rate is the highest in the agency (lead cost only increases from that)
- Motivate users to buy the full course (in the product design world, it's called a bundle, and even has best practices — my former boss's team even created a Shopify app dedicated to e-commerce bundles)
- Attract potential students to be the best during their study, since the best were promised to get hired (for real, the website was supposed to be a part of the hiring brand)
- "If there's time, provide also a concept of a Learning Management System..."
I've been a lead generation manager, team lead & mentor in agencies exactly like this, even though I already switched into UX/UI design, so the project excited me. The founder was thorough and detailed in his communication, and he also provided some visuals collected by an in-house graphic designer: logo variations, a mood board, and color schemes.
My then-process was almost as usual now:
- Deep briefing with a client through Zoom and Notion
- Even deeper analysis of all the info about the company to provide a truly narrow and personalized solution and maximise conversions
- Competitor analysis, especially pricing models analysis + UX/UI design standards of the industry, including not only Ukrainian but European & US edtech & coding bootcamp markets
- Website structure creation (the site is a landing page with AIDA framework)
- Wireframing
- UI Design
- Prototyping
- Figma File Cleanout :)
I was working with a wonderful UX/UI Design Mentor back then who had helped enormously by providing useful and pleasant feedback along the way.
The desire for future collaboration followed the project.
Hope you'll support it with your like and comment.
And as usual, if you want your website to bring you leads or conversions, I’m the woman.
See ya!
Starting from AIDA and working backwards into the site structure is the right call for a lead-gen project. Most designers approach it aesthetically first and then try to retrofit conversion logic. The competitor pricing analysis across Ukrainian, European, and US markets is a detail that most freelancers skip entirely.
