LATTICE Management / Lead qualification
How do you qualify website leads before booking?
Qualify website leads before booking by asking a few questions that determine service fit, then route suitable inquiries to the right calendar and send exceptions to a human. LATTICE Management can connect the form, customer record and booking rules so staff do not have to re-enter the answers. Keep qualification short and explain why each question matters.
What should you decide before choosing?
- Questions that genuinely change booking eligibility
- Routing to the correct service and staff calendar
- An exception route rather than unexplained rejection
- Answers saved with the appointment and customer record
Which questions belong before the calendar?
Ask about the requested service, service area and timing. For appointments that need equipment, staff skills or a certain duration, ask only what is needed to select the appropriate appointment.
Avoid collecting full project documentation before a short consultation. A person should understand what happens next and have a way to ask for help if the available choices do not match their situation.
How should routing rules work?
Treat fit, urgency and appointment type as separate decisions. Someone outside the service area may need a referral, not a lower lead score. Someone with an unusual request may need staff review rather than a calendar slot.
Show the outcome clearly. If the form cannot offer a booking, explain why and provide an appropriate contact route. Do not silently discard the inquiry.
What should be saved with the booking?
Save the submitted answers, the routing result, source and assigned owner. Pass only the details staff need to prepare for the appointment, and confirm that existing contacts are matched rather than recreated.
LATTICE Management can scope qualification and booking as one workflow. Specific branching, calendar rules and custom form behavior need to be tested against your real appointment types, not assumed from a generic demo.
What edge cases should you test?
Test a returning customer, an unknown service, missing fields, a full calendar and a legitimate request outside the initial rules. A review queue can preserve an inquiry while preventing an inappropriate automated booking.
Keep an accessible alternative for people who cannot complete the form. A questionnaire is a convenience, not a reason to make contacting the business impossible.
How do you put this into practice?
Choose booking conditions
List service types, coverage and appointment duration requirements.
Write three to five questions
Every question must affect the appointment or staff preparation.
Connect records and calendar
Save answers once and route to the right available appointment.
Test the exceptions
Confirm unclear inquiries reach staff and full calendars have a next step.
