Request Triage

Requests come in by email, web form, voicemail and text. Someone has to read each one, work out what it is, and chase whatever is missing. Request Triage applies your rules to every request, the same way every time.

EXAMPLEAn example of the kind of tool I build. Yours is designed around your own rules and data.

EXAMPLE SCENARIO

A home-services company with a shared inbox and three people answering it

BEFORE

  • Requests handled by whoever gets to them first
  • Missing details found days later, after the customer has moved on
  • Unusual jobs quoted as if they were standard

AFTER

  • Every request checked against the same list the moment it arrives
  • Incomplete requests get a ready-to-send "we just need…" reply for you to approve
  • Unusual jobs land in a review pile instead of a quote

SIGNS YOU NEED THIS

  • You have a shared inbox nobody fully owns
  • The same questions get asked back to customers every week
  • Good leads go cold while they wait for a reply
  • Only one person really knows which jobs to take

USEFUL FOR

  • Trades & home services
  • Property management
  • Small manufacturers
  • Professional services
