1. Map the Templeton inquiry path before choosing automation
Your service area and your operating path are different questions. A firm may serve Templeton from elsewhere in San Luis Obispo County, receive inquiries through a website form, call, chat or video intake, and direct different matter types to different people. The population record for Templeton CDP helps define the place being discussed, but it cannot tell you how many prospects contact your firm or when they contact you. Bosseo describes Automation as a connection between marketing, intake and operations: leads can be captured, logged, tagged, routed and followed up. The first decision is therefore a map of your current path: entry point, information collected, owner, next action, deadline and destination system.
Recommended approach
Bring a current example of each inquiry path, without unnecessary personal information. Decide which steps should remain human judgment and which repetitive handoffs should be connected. Ask whether a Templeton inquiry should follow the same route as an inquiry from elsewhere in San Luis Obispo County or require a different rule.
