1. Map the first inquiry to the next action
Automation begins with the path a new inquiry should take. Bosseo describes a flow from captured lead to logged and tagged information, system synchronization and a ready-to-work record. For a firm serving North Lynnwood, define the geographic rule explicitly: which inquiries are within your service area, which should be reviewed for jurisdiction, and which need a different response. Do not use the North Lynnwood population estimate as a proxy for inquiries or matters. Instead, review the firm’s real channels and the decisions staff make after each one arrives.
Recommended approach
Bring examples of current forms, inbox notifications, call-handling instructions and intake destinations to the consultation. Decide what must happen for each channel and what information is necessary before a person on the team takes ownership.
