Lead intake to CRM
New inquiries are enriched, summarized and written to the CRM with a suggested next step, and the right person is alerted.
Where it starts
The trigger.
A web form, email or call note creates a new inquiry.
How it runs today
- Leads sit in an inbox until someone copies them over.
- Context from the first message is lost.
- Follow-up depends on who saw it first.
The workflow
Four bounded steps.
Each step has an owner and a stop rule.
- 01 / Capture
The inquiry is picked up from each channel.
- 02 / Summarize
Need, urgency and fit are summarized from the message.
- 03 / Update
A CRM record is created or updated with the summary.
- 04 / Alert
The owner is notified with a drafted reply to review.
Where people stay in control
Approval points.
- Replies are drafts; the owner sends them.
- Scoring rules are visible and editable.
How we would measure it
Against a baseline.
Measured before and after, on the same work.
Time to first response.
Leads with a complete CRM record.
Follow-ups missed.
