Franchise Enquiry Contact Form Workflow

Why should we automate franchise enquiry handling instead of managing it manually?

Manual handling of franchise enquiries often leads to delayed responses, inconsistent qualification, and lost leads as volume grows. This workflow standardises confirmation, review, prioritisation, and assignment so every enquiry follows the same structured path. It helps franchise teams respond faster and focus effort on the enquiries most likely to convert.

What is the ROI of using this workflow compared to a spreadsheet or shared inbox?

Spreadsheets and inboxes require someone to manually track status, chase responses, and remember follow-ups, which is time-consuming and error-prone at scale. This workflow automates confirmation messaging, review routing, and closure communications, reducing administrative overhead per enquiry. Teams typically see time savings in triage and fewer enquiries falling through the cracks.

How long does it take to get this workflow live?

The template is ready-to-use and can be published in minutes directly inside assess.one. Once published, your team can start receiving and processing franchise enquiries immediately, with no external installation or lengthy implementation project required.

Can we customise the review criteria or prioritisation logic?

Yes, the completeness and fit review steps, the AI prioritisation confidence checks, and the manual review fallback can all be adjusted directly in assess.one. You can tailor scoring criteria, routing rules, and thresholds to reflect your franchise brand's specific qualification standards.

Who typically needs access to this workflow?

Franchise development or business development team members who review, prioritise, and respond to enquiries need access, along with owners assigned to specific leads. Admin-level users can configure roles, notification settings, and approval logic within assess.one to match your team's structure.

What happens if an enquiry is incomplete or doesn't fit franchise criteria?

The completeness and fit review step routes incomplete enquiries to a request for additional information rather than discarding them. Enquiries that clearly don't fit can be routed toward a declined outcome, while borderline cases can be flagged for manual review before a final decision is made.

How does AI prioritisation work, and can we override it?

The workflow uses AI to assess and prioritise qualified enquiries, then checks its own confidence level. Lower-confidence outcomes are automatically routed to a manual priority review step so a team member can confirm or adjust the result before assignment.

What compliance or approval considerations apply to this workflow?

The workflow persists review outcomes and final outcomes at each key decision point, creating a traceable record of how each enquiry was assessed and handled. This supports internal audit and consistency requirements, and approval logic at review and prioritisation stages can be configured to match your governance needs.

What happens after an enquiry is closed?

Once an enquiry is set to progressed or declined status, the workflow sends a closure email to the enquirer confirming the outcome. One day later, it automatically sends a feedback request, helping the team gather insight into the enquiry experience without manual follow-up.

Do we need developer resources to set up notifications like email and SMS?

No, email and SMS notifications are configured directly inside assess.one without third-party development work. You can adjust message content, triggers, and conditions such as the mobile number check that determines whether an SMS confirmation is sent.
