Qualified

Qualified is the agentic marketing platform purpose-built around Piper — the AI SDR (Sales Development Representative) Agent that engages and converts inbound buyers at scale through autonomous conversations, real-time meeting booking, and pipeline generation. Founded in 2018 by former Salesforce executives Kraig Swensrud and Sean Whiteley, Qualified has grown into a defining brand in the agentic marketing category, with positioning as "the world's #1 AI SDR Agent" and substantial customer adoption across leading B2B brands. Pricing is enterprise-only with no public self-serve tier. Public benchmarks place Qualified deployments in the $50,000-$500,000+ per year range depending on company size, traffic volume, and modules selected (Piper AI SDR Agent, conversational marketing, meeting orchestration). Implementation typically runs 2-6 weeks including discovery, CRM integration (Salesforce primarily), website chat installation, ICP configuration, and marketing team rollout. Qualified's differentiation versus Drift, Intercom, and other conversational marketing platforms is the agentic SDR positioning combined with deep Salesforce integration: rather than positioning around chatbots (Drift pattern) or messaging (Intercom pattern), Qualified's Piper AI SDR Agent is positioned as a fully agentic worker that handles inbound buyer conversations end-to-end — qualifying intent, answering product questions, booking meetings, and routing to human reps when appropriate. The agentic positioning matches the broader category shift toward AI workers replacing or augmenting full SDR functions rather than handling individual chat interactions. Qualified capabilities include Piper AI SDR Agent (autonomous inbound conversations), face-to-face conversational AI (video chat with AI), meeting orchestration, intent signal detection from website behavior, account-based personalization, deep Salesforce integration, and marketing analytics. The platform serves B2B enterprise marketing and revenue teams primarily on Salesforce, particular strength in SaaS, technology, and other industries with significant inbound traffic. Qualified operates under SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and HIPAA compliance.
