"Based on what you're looking for, I think [Rep Name]
from our enterprise team would be perfect to help.
[He/She] specializes in [relevant expertise].

Before I connect you, is there anything else I should
let [them] know?"

[Internal check]
- Is rep available?
- What's estimated wait time?
- Who else can take it?

If available:
"Perfect—[Rep] is available now. Let me connect you."

If not available:
"[Rep] is with another customer right now. You'll be
connected in about [X] minutes. Would you prefer to
wait, or should I have [them] call you back?"

To prospect:
"Connecting you now. [Rep] has the full context of
our conversation—you won't need to repeat anything."

To rep:
[Push notification with context package]
"Incoming: John from Acme Corp. 500-user enterprise
opportunity. Ready for demo. Hot lead."

Rep acknowledgment:
"Got it—I see the context. Taking over."

Prospect confirmation:
Rep: "Hi John! I'm Sarah from the enterprise team.
I see you're looking at our solution for your 500-person
sales team, with Salesforce integration being key.
And you're hoping to have this in place by Q2, right?"

Chat/Phone - rep available:

Bot: "Connecting you with Alex now..."
[2-3 second transition]
Rep: "Hi [Name], Alex here. I saw you were asking about
[topic]. Let me help with that!"

Rep not immediately available:

Bot: "Our team is helping other customers right now.
You're [2nd] in queue—estimated wait is [3 minutes].

While you wait, is there anything else I can help with?
Or if you prefer, I can have someone call you back at
a specific time."

Options:
1. Wait in queue
2. Scheduled callback
3. Email follow-up

After hours or no availability:

Bot: "Our team isn't available right now, but I've
captured everything we discussed. [Rep Name] will
reach out first thing tomorrow.

Is email or phone better for you?"

Then send:
- Confirmation to prospect
- Full context to rep
- Calendar task for follow-up

If transfer fails:

Bot: "I apologize—we're having a technical issue
connecting you. Let me take your number and have
[Rep] call you directly within [X minutes].

What's the best number to reach you?"

Then:
- Collect callback info
- Alert rep immediately
- Log the issue
- Follow up to confirm connection made

[Push notification to rep]
