Pool Builder
Every Quote Request in the CRM Before the Confirmation Email Lands
The Challenge
The quote request form is the most common way a prospect introduces themselves to a custom pool builder. These inquiries are top-of-funnel by nature — someone who has been browsing online and finally decided to raise their hand. Over a two-year review of closed deals, the company found that more than half of their sold projects had started with a general quote form submission.
The problem was that submissions landed in a shared email inbox and moved into Pipedrive only as fast as someone happened to check it. During busy spring months, a third of quote requests sat unworked for more than 24 hours. A handful each month fell through entirely — a team member would see the email, assume someone else was handling it, and no Pipedrive record ever got created. The form also collected meaningful preference signals — pool style, size, features, budget range — but that information rarely made it into the CRM intact. By the time entry was done manually, notes were often abbreviated or dropped.
The Solution
We built a workflow that captures every quote request the moment it comes in and converts it into a structured Pipedrive lead — no inbox monitoring, no manual entry. Contact details go into the person record, and the prospect’s project preferences are written as a formatted note attached to the lead. The workflow checks for an existing contact before creating anything new, so returning prospects or people already in the system through another channel have the new lead linked to their existing record. Source channel attribution is logged automatically on every lead.
Sales staff see a fully populated lead in Pipedrive within 30 seconds of form submission.
How It Works
- A website visitor submits the quote request form
- The form submission is received by the workflow immediately
- Contact details and project preferences are extracted and organized
- Pipedrive is searched for an existing contact matching the email or phone number
- If new, a contact record and lead are both created
- If the contact already exists, only a new lead is created and linked to their record
- The prospect's stated preferences — style, size, features, budget — are written as a note on the lead
- The marketing source channel is logged to the lead automatically
The Results
- 100% of quote request submissions now appear in Pipedrive within 30 seconds, ending inbox monitoring entirely
- Average lead response time dropped from 22 hours to under 45 minutes, as staff work from the Pipedrive lead queue rather than a shared inbox
- The office manager freed up approximately 4 hours per week during peak months previously spent on manual entry
- Prospect preference notes are captured on every submission rather than being summarized or omitted, giving salespeople useful context before the first call
- The duplicate contact rate dropped to near zero after the deduplication logic was introduced, cleaning up a CRM that had accumulated hundreds of duplicate entries
General quote requests may be early in the buyer journey, but they represent real pipeline value. An inquiry that goes unworked for 24 hours is often one that found a different builder to call back first.
