Know which structured cabling leads are worth a scoping call
Ask about project scope, drop count, and cable types upfront, then collect floor plans and site photos so your team walks into the scoping call already knowing what the job actually involves.
The exact intake your structured cabling leads complete
This is the real 7-question guided intake for Structured Cabling — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified structured cabling lead should tell you
Installation, expansion, or repair of physical cabling infrastructure — ethernet/copper, fiber, telecom, or AV/security wiring — inside a building or across a campus, scoped by location type, drop count, and cable types needed.
- Location Cabling Work
- Best Describes Scope Cabling
- How Many Network Drops
- Have Authority Approve This
- Cabling Work Start
- Site Accessible On-Site Assessment
- Cable Or Connection Types
The questions your team needs answered
Every structured cabling intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What type of location needs the cabling work? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| What best describes the scope of the cabling project? | Scope of work carries the widest weight spread in the catalog, separating a full rewiring or new install from a lower-effort repair request. |
| Approximately how many network drops or outlets are involved? | Drop count gives a rough sense of job scale, helping your team judge crew and material needs ahead of the scoping call. |
| Do you have authority to approve this work at the property? | Confirming approval authority filters out enquiries where the requester still needs sign-off from someone else before work can be scoped. |
| When do you need the cabling work to start? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| Is the site currently accessible for an on-site assessment or installation? | Site accessibility tells your team whether an on-site assessment can be scheduled right away or needs to be arranged first. |
| What cable or connection types are needed, if known? | Knowing which cable types are needed, or that the client isn't sure yet, helps assign the right technician expertise before the call. |

Built for structured cabling workflows
| Cliont capability | Structured Cabling application |
|---|---|
| Weighted lead scoring | Scope-of-project answers (new install, expansion, repair, full rewiring) carry distinct weights, and approval-authority answers are weighted heavily so leads without a decision-maker attached don't outrank ones that are ready to commit. |
| Document and photo capture | Floor plans and photos of existing cabling or patch panels are collected alongside the drop-count and cable-type answers, giving your team a sizing reference before the scoping call. |
| Qualified lead routing to CRM | Leads that confirm approval authority and site accessibility are sent to your CRM as scoping-ready, while leads still in the planning stage or unsure on scope can be tagged for a nurture sequence instead. |
| Structured field capture | Location type, drop count, and cable types are captured as discrete fields rather than free text, so your team can filter incoming leads by job scale before deciding who scopes the call. |
Common structured cabling lead scenarios
New build, unwired office space
A tenant fitting out an empty office selects new installation in unwired space and gives high drop counts — the intake flags this as top scope, one of the highest-weighted options in the catalog.
Expansion of an existing network
A growing team needs more drops added to cabling already in place; the intake captures this as an expansion project, distinct from a rewiring or repair request.
Troubleshooting a flaky connection
A facilities contact reports intermittent drops and wants a repair, but doesn't have authority to approve the work — the intake still records the request while flagging that sign-off needs to be confirmed before scheduling.
Still in the planning stage
A prospect isn't sure yet whether they need a full rewiring or just expansion, and selects 'not sure' on scope and cable types — the intake routes this as a lead to nurture rather than one ready to size for a scoping call.
Full rewiring for a warehouse upgrade
An operations manager with sign-off authority wants to replace outdated cabling across an industrial facility — high scope weight, confirmed authority, and site accessibility combine into a strong lead.

Structured Cabling lead-intake FAQs
What happens if the client doesn't know what cable types they need yet?
The cable/connection type question allows a 'Not sure' selection, so those leads still come through — your team can confirm ethernet, fiber, telecom, or AV/security requirements during the scoping call instead of losing the enquiry.
Does the intake check whether the requester can actually approve the work?
Yes — it asks directly whether the person filling out the form has authority to approve work at the property, and that answer carries meaningful weight, since a 'no' means you're talking to someone who still needs to loop in a decision-maker.
How does the intake handle drop count and location type in scoring?
Drop count and location type are captured for context and job sizing — helping your team gauge the physical scale of the project — while the scope of work and approval authority are what drive the qualification score.
Can the intake tell if a job needs a site visit before you commit resources?
It asks directly whether the site is currently accessible for an on-site assessment or installation, so you know before the scoping call whether access needs to be arranged first.
How is this different from the Business Network Installation intake?
Structured Cabling intake focuses on physical wiring scope — new runs, expansions, repairs, or full rewiring — while Business Network Installation covers broader network setup; if a lead needs both, you can route it accordingly.
What does the intake ask about timing?
It asks when the client needs the work to start, from immediately to still in the planning stage, so you can prioritize leads ready to move against ones that are further out.
