Website enquiry to quote workflow

How a public website enquiry becomes a lead, then a priced quote the customer can accept online before it turns into a job and an invoice.

The business problem

Website enquiries often arrive as an email or a generic contact form message with no structure, so staff have to manually chase details, retype them into a quoting tool, and track acceptance and follow-up themselves.

Business situation

Custom or project-based businesses cannot publish a fixed price, because the price depends on the customer's specific job. They need a way to capture enquiry details from the website, then follow up with a properly priced quote.

How KookaCRM solves it

KookaCRM's website enquiry form captures the enquiry as a structured intake submission and lead, which staff work directly into a quote. The customer accepts the quote online, and acceptance carries through to job creation and invoicing without re-entering details.

Recommended KookaCRM setup

Publish a website enquiry form (embedded or linked) for services priced with the quote-to-invoice model. Configure quote line item templates for common job types so staff can build quotes quickly from the enquiry details.

Entry point and pricing model

Customer entry point: Website enquiry form — a public form on the tenant's website where the customer describes the job and leaves contact details.

Service pricing model: Quote-to-invoice: there is no published price. Staff assess the enquiry and issue a itemised quote, which the customer accepts before work proceeds.

Suitable business types

  • Cabinet makers and custom installers
  • Agencies and web developers
  • Renovation and project-based trades
  • Any business that cannot publish a fixed price for enquiries

How it works

  1. Customer submits the website enquiry form with job details and contact information, then

  2. KookaCRM creates an intake submission and a lead from the enquiry, then

  3. Staff review the lead and qualify it, then

  4. Staff build a quote with itemised pricing based on the enquiry details (and any follow-up questions), then

  5. Quote is sent to the customer for review, then

  6. Customer accepts (or declines) the quote online, then

  7. An accepted quote converts into a job where fulfilment work is required, then

  8. Staff issue an invoice against the accepted quote once work is scheduled or completed, then

  9. Customer pays the invoice and a receipt is recorded

Customer experience

  • Fills in the website enquiry form describing the job, with optional photos where the form supports it
  • Receives a follow-up from staff and, in due course, a quote to review
  • Reviews itemised pricing and accepts or declines online
  • Receives an invoice once work is scheduled or completed, and pays it

Staff actions

  • Review new leads from the enquiry inbox
  • Qualify the enquiry and contact the customer if more information is needed
  • Build an itemised quote against the lead
  • Send the quote and follow up on outstanding quotes
  • Convert an accepted quote into a job
  • Raise and send the invoice, then reconcile payment

What KookaCRM creates

  • Intake submission
  • Lead
  • Quote (with line items)
  • Job (once fulfilment work is scheduled)
  • Invoice

Payment flow

No payment is requested at enquiry stage. Once the customer accepts the quote, staff raise an invoice; the customer pays through whatever payment method the tenant has configured, including online payment if Stripe Connect is connected.

Setup requirements

  • Enable and publish the website enquiry form entry point
  • Configure at least one service using the quote-to-invoice pricing model
  • Set up quote line item templates for common job types
  • Connect a payment method (for example Stripe Connect) if you want customers to pay invoices online
