Lead routing forms
On this pageWhat it is
What it is
A lead routing form asks a few questions, such as company size, country or what the visitor needs, and then sends them to the right place based on the answers. A small company might be offered a self-service booking page, while a large one is sent to a senior salesperson. Cal.com, Calendly and Chili Piper are examples of tools that offer it.
Why it matters
Routing keeps your best people focused on the best opportunities and sends everyone else to the right place without delay. It also removes the manual step of reading each enquiry and forwarding it. You need it once several people or teams take bookings, or when different kinds of enquiry need different handling. If one person takes every call, routing adds complexity for no gain. A bad rule can send good leads to the wrong person, so the rules deserve careful thought.
What to check
- Ask how rules are built and whether they can use several answers at once, or only one.
- Check what happens when no rule matches, so no lead is lost.
- Find out whether routing can take account of who is free, or who received the last lead.
- Test with a few made-up enquiries to confirm each ends up with the right person.
