The exact intake your audio visual rental leads complete
This is the real 7-question guided intake for Audio Visual Rental — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified audio visual rental lead should tell you
Rental of sound systems, microphones, lighting, screens, projectors, or DJ gear for a specific event, where the equipment mix and any needed operator depend on guest count, venue type, and whether power and space have been confirmed.
- Event This Equipment
- Equipment
- About How Many Guests
- Event Indoors, Outdoors, Or
- Someone On-Site Operate Equipment
- Know Event Date
- Venue Confirmed What Power
The questions your team needs answered
Every audio visual rental intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What type of event is this equipment for? | Event type helps distinguish corporate budgets from wedding or nonprofit pricing expectations before your team quotes. |
| What equipment do you need? | The multi-select equipment list determines how many crew and how much gear the job requires, not just a single item quote. |
| About how many guests are expected at the event? | Guest count drives how much speaker coverage and lighting scale the setup needs to reach. |
| Is the event indoors, outdoors, or both? | Outdoor or mixed-venue events change power, weatherproofing, and setup requirements compared to a fully indoor job. |
| Do you need someone on-site to operate the equipment during the event? | This is a high-value signal in the scoring model because staffing an operator changes labor cost and crew scheduling for the date. |
| Do you know your event date? | Knowing the event date is the other high-value signal, separating leads ready to book from early-stage inquiries. |
| Has the venue confirmed what power or space is available for this equipment? | Unconfirmed venue power flags a lead that may need a site visit before your team can commit to an equipment quote. |

Built for audio visual rental workflows
| Cliont capability | Audio Visual Rental application |
|---|---|
| Weighted lead scoring | Leads that confirm both a known event date and a need for an on-site operator score higher, since those are the two signals this catalog weights most heavily. |
| Multi-select capture | The equipment question lets an enquirer pick sound, microphones, lighting, screens, and DJ gear together, so your team sees the full package instead of following up per item. |
| Conditional routing to CRM | Enquiries with confirmed power and a set date can route straight to your CRM as consultation-ready, while unconfirmed-power leads get tagged for a site check first. |
| Guided intake flow | Guest count and indoor/outdoor answers sit next to the equipment question so your team can judge coverage needs (speaker throw, generator power) before the first call. |
Common audio visual rental lead scenarios
Corporate event, operator required
A confirmed date plus a request for on-site operation are both high-value signals in this catalog, so the intake flags these enquiries for a fast consultation rather than a generic quote.
Wedding, date not yet set
Couples still shopping venues often answer 'no' on the event date question, which the intake still routes forward but without the same urgency as a confirmed date.
Outdoor event, power unconfirmed
When the venue power question comes back 'Not yet' or 'Not sure' on an outdoor or 'both' event, the intake surfaces that gap so your team can chase venue confirmation before quoting equipment.
Large fundraiser, full AV package
A nonprofit or fundraiser selecting multiple equipment types (sound, screens, lighting) at a guest count over 300 is a different quoting job than a single speaker request, and the intake captures the full list in one pass.
Not sure what's needed
Some enquirers select 'Not sure' on equipment, which the intake still captures alongside event type and guest count so your team has enough context to start the conversation instead of a blank lead.

Audio Visual Rental lead-intake FAQs
What happens if someone selects 'Not sure' for equipment needed?
The intake still records the event type, guest count, and indoor/outdoor answers alongside the 'Not sure' selection, so your team has enough to open a real conversation rather than getting an empty request.
Why does the intake ask about on-site operator staffing?
Whether someone needs to run the equipment during the event is one of the two highest-weighted signals in this catalog, since it changes your staffing cost and crew scheduling for that date.
How does this intake stop us from holding a date that never books?
The event date question is a high-value scoring signal, so leads who don't yet have a confirmed date are still captured but scored differently than a couple or planner ready to lock in a slot.
Does the intake check if the venue can actually support our equipment?
Yes, one question asks whether the venue has confirmed power or space, which lets your team flag site-visit-needed leads before quoting a full sound or lighting rig.
How is this different from your tent rental or dance floor rental intake?
Each subservice in the library uses its own catalog, so audio-visual questions focus on equipment type, operator staffing, and power rather than the flooring or structural questions used for tent rental or dance floor rental leads.
Can the intake handle both an indoor ceremony and outdoor reception in one enquiry?
Yes, the indoor/outdoor question includes a 'Both' option so mixed-venue events are captured accurately instead of forcing a single location answer.
