Introduction
Sales Agent Skills allow you to customize what your AI assistant can do, from how it engages leads to how it qualifies and nurtures them. Skills are modular capabilities that define specific behaviors, workflows, and actions your Sales Agent can perform automatically.
With Skills, you can tailor your AI assistant to match your business processes, communication style, and lead management strategy.
Important: All Sales Agent packages have access to skills, but you must have the Sales Agent Max or Team package to create custom skills.

What Are Sales Agent Skills?
Sales Agent Skills are configurable building blocks that control your AI assistant’s behavior and capabilities.
- Skills = What the agent does (actions, workflows, behaviors)
- Settings = How the agent operates (timing, tone, rules)
Together, Skills and Settings give you full control over how your Sales Agent interacts with leads across text, email, and web chat.
Sales Agent is built on a structured library of skills that trigger in real time during conversations, allowing it to respond intelligently and move leads through the funnel automatically.
Skill Library
The Skill Library is where you can browse and apply pre-built capabilities to your Sales Agent.
Key capabilities include:
- Pre-built, ready-to-use Skills designed for common real estate workflows
- Organized Skill categories (ex: lead capture, qualification, follow-up, scheduling)
- Ability to enable/disable Skills based on your business needs
These pre-built Skills help your Sales Agent:
- Engage new leads quickly
- Ask qualifying questions
- Nurture conversations
- Surface opportunities for human follow-up
Custom Skills (Skill Creator)
In addition to the Skill Library, you can create Custom Skills tailored to your workflows and business goals.
What Custom Skills allow you to do:
- Define specific workflows for your AI agent
- Customize how conversations are handled
- Create unique behaviors based on your process (ex: listing intake, buyer qualification, follow-up sequences)
- Replace or extend previous “playbook” style automation with more flexible logic
Custom Skills give you full flexibility to design an AI assistant that works exactly like your team.
How Skills Work
Sales Agent activates Skills dynamically based on the conversation and lead behavior.
For example, Skills can:
- Trigger when a new lead is captured
- Activate based on lead responses or intent signals
- Shift the conversation toward booking appointments
- Hand off leads to a human agent when needed
This real-time activation ensures the right action is taken at the right moment—without manual intervention.
Common Skill Types
While available Skills may vary, they typically fall into categories such as:
-
Lead Capture & Activation
Automatically engages new leads and collects key information -
Lead Qualification
Asks questions to understand timeline, budget, and intent -
Conversation & Outreach
Manages ongoing communication and follow-up -
Handoff & Scheduling
Transfers qualified leads and sets appointments -
Compliance & Personalization
Ensures messages are appropriate and tailored to each lead
These categories work together to support the full lifecycle of a lead—from first contact to conversion.
Why Skills Matter
Using Sales Agent Skills allows you to:
- Automate lead engagement 24/7
- Standardize your team’s follow-up process
