Know which document shredding leads are worth a visit
Ask about document volume, storage location, and certificate of destruction needs before offering a visit, then collect photos of the boxes so your team knows what's arriving.
The exact intake your document shredding leads complete
This is the real 6-question guided intake for Document Shredding — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified document shredding lead should tell you
On-site or off-site destruction of paper documents for households or businesses, where the intake needs to establish volume, current document location, certificate-of-destruction requirements, and who is authorized to request disposal.
- Approximate Volume Documents Be
- Documents Located
- Certificate Destruction Records

- Owner Or Authorized Representative
- Soon Shredding Service Completed
The questions your team needs answered
Every document shredding intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What is the approximate volume of documents to be shredded? | Document volume distinguishes a quick drop-off job from a bulk on-site shred, and it's one of only two fields that actually moves the score. |
| Where are the documents currently located? | Knowing whether documents sit at a home, office, or storage unit tells your team what access and logistics to plan before scheduling. |
| Do you need a certificate of destruction for your records? | A yes here flags a compliance-driven lead that needs a certificate prepared and issued after the job. |
| Do you prefer on-site shredding or drop-off/pickup for off-site shredding? | On-site versus off-site preference routes the lead to the right workflow without affecting its score. |
| Are you the owner or authorized representative for these documents? | Confirming the requester is the owner or authorized representative protects against handling someone else's sensitive records without consent, and it's the other field that drives the score. |
| How soon do you need the shredding service completed? | Timing is useful for scheduling but isn't weighted, so an urgent small request won't outscore a larger, verified job. |

Built for document shredding workflows
| Cliont capability | Document Shredding application |
|---|---|
| Conditional branching | When a lead picks off-site drop-off or pickup instead of on-site shredding, the intake can skip on-site scheduling prompts and surface the relevant workflow instead. |
| Lead scoring engine | Scores are driven primarily by document volume and confirmed ownership/authorization, so bulk, verified requests outrank small, unverified ones regardless of when they want it done. |
| Photo capture | Requesters upload a photo of the boxes or files before you dispatch a truck or offer a drop-off slot, so your team knows the real scope on arrival. |
| CRM routing | Leads that request a certificate of destruction are flagged in the CRM so compliance paperwork is ready before the visit instead of being handled after the fact. |
Common document shredding lead scenarios
Small home cleanout
A homeowner selects a few folders or less, no certificate needed, and flexible timing — the intake still captures the request but flags it as a lower-volume job.
Office-scale purge with certificate
A business selects large volume, an office location, and requests a certificate of destruction with on-site preference — this combination pushes the lead toward high priority.
Storage unit backlog, unsure volume
Documents sit in a storage unit and the requester marks volume as 'Not sure' — the intake still routes it, but the score reflects the uncertainty until volume is confirmed.
Requester isn't the document owner
Someone handling a family member's estate answers 'no' to the ownership/authorization question, lowering the score and flagging the lead for a verification step before scheduling.

Document Shredding lead-intake FAQs
Why doesn't turnaround time affect the lead score?
Timing is captured so your team can plan scheduling, but it isn't a weighted field in this catalog — a large-volume job with a flexible date can still score higher than a small, urgent request because scoring is driven by volume and ownership verification.
How does the intake handle someone shredding documents that aren't theirs?
The intake asks directly whether the requester is the owner or authorized representative; a 'no' answer scores lower and can be routed for extra verification before you commit a visit.
Does the intake distinguish on-site shredding from drop-off or pickup?
Yes — leads state a preference for on-site shredding or off-site drop-off/pickup, which is used to route the job to the correct workflow rather than to change its score.
What if a household doesn't know how many documents they have?
The volume question includes a 'Not sure' option that still carries a mid-range weight, so uncertain leads aren't discarded — they're just scored lower than confirmed bulk jobs.
Does the intake ask about certificate of destruction requirements?
Yes — a yes/no question captures whether the requester needs a certificate of destruction for their records, which you can use to flag compliance-driven jobs before the visit.
