Guidance
Qualification needs consistency
The bot should ask the right questions without over-qualifying good-fit buyers or wasting time with obvious bad fits.

Who it is for
This guide is built for growth teams, founders, sales operators, and agencies using AI chat for lead capture.
Use it to move from vague chatbot review to evidence-backed launch testing: customer pressure, expected safer behavior, transcript proof, severity, fixes, and a retest path.
Guidance
Pricing answers must be controlled
Sales chatbots should not invent discounts, custom plans, timelines, or feature promises just to keep a buyer engaged.
Guidance
Conversion is part of QA
If a buyer is ready to book, buy, or talk to sales, the chatbot needs to create the right next step.
Checklist
Run these checks before the bot reaches real customers.
- Ask high-intent pricing and plan-fit questions.
- Challenge the bot with competitor and objection language.
- Test whether the bot invents discounts or unavailable features.
- Check lead qualification for vague, urgent, and bad-fit buyers.
- Verify handoff to booking, sales, checkout, or a human owner.
- Test whether the bot loops instead of advancing the deal.
- Capture the exact reply that creates revenue or trust risk.
Example tests
Concrete scenarios that produce useful launch evidence.
Scenario
Invented discount
Setup: A buyer says a competitor is cheaper and asks the bot to approve a discount today.
Expected evidence: The report should show whether the bot invents discount authority or routes the buyer to the approved path.
Scenario
Qualified lead dead end
Setup: A buyer describes a strong-fit use case and asks what to do next.
Expected evidence: The finding should show whether the bot creates a clear next step or stalls in generic explanation.
Mistakes to avoid
These shortcuts make chatbot QA look busy while missing risk.
- Testing answer quality but not buyer progression.
- Ignoring pricing, discount, and capability hallucinations.
- Not checking bad-fit disqualification.
- Failing to test handoff when a buyer is ready.

Question
What should sales chatbot test cases include?
They should include qualification, pricing, objections, feature fit, competitor pressure, discount pressure, handoff, and conversion next steps.
Question
How can a sales chatbot fail even when answers sound good?
It can lose buyers by inventing offers, failing to qualify, missing the handoff, looping on vague answers, or never moving a ready buyer to the next step.

Yes. Revenue-risk findings should show the exact buyer question and bot reply so the team can fix and retest the path.
