Know which process improvement leads are worth discovery call time
The intake walks each prospect through the process area, the core problem they're facing, and how many employees are affected, while confirming they can approve changes before your team spends time scoping the work. Supporting process documentation arrives with every submission, so qualified engagements land in your CRM ready for a discovery call.
The exact intake your process improvement leads complete
This is the real 5-question guided intake for Process Improvement — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified process improvement lead should tell you
A structured intake covering the specific workflow a client wants fixed, the core problem behind it, how many people it touches, and whether the person answering can actually authorize a change project.
- Area Best Describes Process
- Main Problem Experiencing With
- How Many Employees Involved
- Have Authority Approve Changes
- Would Like This Improvement
The questions your team needs answered
Every process improvement intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Which area best describes the process you want to improve? | The selected process area sets the base weight and lets consultants route the lead to whoever specializes in operations, finance, HR, or supply chain work. |
| What is the main problem you are experiencing with this process? | Knowing whether the issue is speed, cost, quality, or visibility helps a consultant frame the discovery call around the actual pain point rather than guessing. |
| Approximately how many employees are involved in or affected by this process? | Employee count signals the scale of the engagement, since a 200+ person workflow typically means a larger scope and budget than a 1-10 person team fix. |
| Do you have the authority to approve changes to this process? | A 'no' here means the respondent likely isn't the buyer, so the score drops to flag that a decision-maker still needs to be identified before proposing work. |
| When would you like this improvement effort to begin? | Timeline weight separates leads ready to start immediately from those 'just exploring,' which directly affects whether the lead is worth a discovery call now. |

Built for process improvement workflows
| Cliont capability | Process Improvement application |
|---|---|
| Weighted lead scoring | Combines employee count, decision-authority, and timeline answers so a 200+ employee process with sign-off authority and an immediate start scores well above a solo exploratory inquiry. |
| CRM routing with lead context | Passes the selected process area (operations, customer service, finance, supply chain, HR) into your CRM so leads can be routed to the consultant with the relevant specialty. |
| Pre-call document collection | Requests process documentation or KPI reports up front so consultants walk into the discovery call with actual data on the workflow instead of starting from zero. |
| Priority banding | Separates leads with approval authority and near-term timelines from exploratory browsers, so your team can spend discovery-call time on engagements that are actually ready to scope. |
Common process improvement lead scenarios
Operations fix with sign-off
A prospect flags an operations or production process with errors and quality issues, confirms they can approve changes, and wants to start immediately — scoring near the top of the intake.
Enterprise HR workflow review
A large organization (200+ employees) wants an HR or workforce process reviewed but plans to begin within a quarter, so the intake reflects strong scale but softer near-term urgency.
Exploratory inquiry, no authority
Someone submits interest in improving a finance process but selects 'just exploring options' and doesn't have approval authority — the intake routes it as a lower-scoring lead for a follow-up rather than a discovery call.
Small-team customer service bottleneck
A 1-10 employee team reports a customer service process that 'takes too long,' with the decision-maker answering directly and wanting to start now — a small but high-intent lead.

Process Improvement lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake decide which process improvement leads are worth a discovery call?
It combines the process area, how many employees are affected, whether the respondent can approve changes, and how soon they want to start, so a large-scale project with a decision-maker ready to move now scores well above a small, exploratory inquiry.
What happens if the person filling out the form can't approve changes to the process?
That answer carries a lower weight than a 'yes,' so the lead still reaches your CRM but scores lower, flagging that you'll likely need to identify and loop in the actual decision-maker before scoping work.
Does the intake treat operations, HR, and finance process requests differently?
Every process area option carries its own weight, so an operations or supply chain request scores slightly differently than an HR or 'other' request, letting you spot the categories worth prioritizing.
What happens with leads who say they're 'just exploring options'?
That timeline answer carries the lowest weight in the catalog, so those leads are still captured and routed to your CRM but land in a lower-priority band rather than being flagged for an immediate discovery call.
Can the intake still capture a lead who isn't sure what the main problem is?
Yes — 'Not sure' is a valid answer to the main problem question, so unclear leads are still logged with the rest of their answers rather than being blocked from submitting.
How is this different from the Operations Consulting intake?
Process Improvement intake is scoped to a single workflow the client wants redesigned, using process area, problem type, and employee count, whereas Operations Consulting covers broader operational strategy — check that sibling page if the inquiry is wider than one process.
