Inquiry Capture
Customer interest from website, WhatsApp, call, directory, service page or referral should be recorded clearly.
IDSA CRM Inquiry Follow-up Model explains how website forms, WhatsApp messages, service requests, directory interest, MSME support and partner inquiries can move into structured notes, callback, routing, status and responsible follow-up.
It is a structured model for capturing inquiries, classifying them by category and location, recording notes, calling back, routing to the right team or vendor and tracking final status without losing customer interest.
A strong CRM model needs more than a phone number. It needs source, category, location, notes, status and next action.
Customer interest from website, WhatsApp, call, directory, service page or referral should be recorded clearly.
Inquiry should be mapped by category, location, urgency, service type, business type and follow-up need.
CRM team should use proper callback timing, notes, status and next action instead of random calling.
Relevant vendor, partner, CSC or internal team can be mapped only when category and location are clear.
Every inquiry should move through clear stages such as new, contacted, pending, qualified, closed or rejected.
CRM data can improve service pages, directory quality, vendor readiness and business development planning.
IDSA inquiries can come from many channels. The CRM model should capture all of them in a cleaner follow-up structure.
Service pages, contact forms, landing pages, business listing pages and registration interest.
Customer messages, service requirement, business interest and support requests.
Direct call request, missed call follow-up, support query and service coordination.
Local business profile, vendor listing, category page and visibility inquiry.
CSC, vendor, distributor, field team, referral and local business connection.
Training interest, business support, MSME readiness and growth-support inquiry.
Every inquiry should move through a simple controlled path: capture, classify, contact, qualify, route and close or review.
Record customer name, contact path, category, location and basic requirement.
Map inquiry to service type, business segment, urgency and responsible follow-up team.
Call, WhatsApp or respond with clear communication and no false promise.
Check real requirement, service area, budget direction, documents or business fit where needed.
Assign to vendor, CRM staff, CSC, partner or support team as per policy and availability.
Mark final status, reason, notes, next action or learning for future improvement.
These fields help the CRM team avoid confusion and improve callback quality.
