Customization capabilities: tailor your avatar

HeyGen allows you to customize avatars in ways that feel truly personal:

Pathways to AI SDR success

1. Engage prospects with real-time responses

Your avatar can manage lead qualification in real-time, simplifying the process of identifying and segmenting high-potential prospects. By conducting interactive sessions that ask open-ended questions or offer multiple-choice options, you can gather key data such as company size, budget, and goals. This allows the avatar to capture valuable details during the conversation, enabling more informed follow-ups and personalized communication strategies.

HeyGen's Interactive Avatars are designed to engage prospects with real-time responses, making them ideal for roles such as virtual support agents, salespeople, and experts. These avatars can speak and respond instantly, providing tailored support when needed. They can also be integrated into various applications, including video calls, voice assistants, and live stream shopping, to enhance customer engagement and interaction. Please note that Interactive Avatars currently only support listening to one speaker at a time.

2. Qualify leads effortlessly

Interactive Avatars can serve as your sales front line, offering immediate answers to common questions. They provide dynamic responses to frequent inquiries about product features, pricing, or company details, adjusting based on conversation triggers. Additionally, the avatars use animations and visuals to make interactions more engaging while effectively delivering important information.
