02

Ask what the team needs

Collect the service, contact details and a short brief.

Mark required fields clearly; save deeper questions for the conversation.

03

Choose one main record

Decide where enquiry status lives. Use a stable enquiry ID so the form, CRM and replies can refer to the same request.

04

Give it an owner

Assign each new enquiry to a named person or queue.

Define who checks the queue when the usual owner is away.

05

Make the next step visible

Record a next action and due time.

A status such as 'awaiting brief' explains more than an unread email in a shared inbox.

06

Test a failed handoff

In staging, simulate a CRM failure.

Keep the enquiry safely stored, flag it for review and retry without creating duplicates.
