Buyers message you on Instagram and other apps. The message gets answered, but nobody records it, so the enquiry is lost when the chat scrolls away.
Here the message becomes a lead with Instagram as its source and an owner given by an assignment rule. It becomes an opportunity and then a quotation, so the sale can be traced back to where it started.
Before and after
| Without it | With it |
|---|---|
| DMs answered from a phone and forgotten | Each enquiry becomes a lead with its source |
| Whoever sees the message replies | An assignment rule gives the lead an owner |
| No idea which channel brings sales | The source is kept from lead to quote |
| Quotes sent as screenshots | A proper quotation from the opportunity |
Each step is a real ERPNext screen in the demo company. FlowMentor points at what to fill in.
Lead
A possible customer, with an owner and the source it came from, so whoever follows up knows the history.
Opportunity
A qualified enquiry: what the customer is interested in, ready to be priced.
Quotation
Your offer, made from the opportunity with items at price-list rates, ready to become an order when they say yes.
Inside the demo company
Mith Demo Traders, a made-up company that makes and sells kettles and toasters. It isn't GST-registered, so its documents carry no tax.
The lead has Instagram as its source and was given an owner by an assignment rule; you take it to a quotation. The DM itself and click-to-call are in MithUniverse only.
You're signed in as a demo visitor. Nothing is emailed, and what you make is removed 15 minutes after you finish.
And what each of them gets from it.
Social media team
Hands enquiries to sales instead of keeping them in chats.
Sales team
Gets enquiries with an owner and a history.
Marketing
Sees which channel brings enquiries that buy.
FlowMentor is our guide app for ERPNext. On each screen it points at the field to fill and the button to press, one step at a time, so you can finish the flow without training. It runs on the real screens, not a video.
The demo shows the plain flow. In a real project we set it up to how you work.
