Capture
Accessible forms and source context.
Customer situation
Leads arrive. Then the system loses them.
More acquisition cannot fix a broken handoff. Start by mapping what happens from the moment a person submits, calls or messages until a named owner takes the next action.

Situation
Common signs
- Form notifications reach one busy inbox.
- Nobody can see first response or next action.
- Duplicates and incomplete records create manual work.
- Nurture continues after a person books or declines.
- Marketing cannot see which leads became opportunities.
System diagnosis
Make every handoff explicit
Define fields, stages, ownership, alerts, response expectations, consent and stop conditions. Then automate the stable process and connect it to measurement.
CRM + Follow-up
The real work starts after Submit.
Make ownership, timing and stop rules visible instead of relying on memory.
