Service summary
What this system fixes
This is for the operational gap where a CSR writes the note in one place, the dispatcher texts from another, and the CRM never shows the real lead status clearly.
Problem: Missed calls, old form leads, and after-hours messages often sit unanswered until the customer has already booked a competitor.
System: The workflow detects the lead source, sends a fast SMS or chat response, captures job details, qualifies urgency, and updates the CRM for staff follow-up.
Outcome: More inquiries receive a response while buyer intent is still active, and staff can see which leads need action first.
