System Summary

The Problem

In growing teams, generalist assignment breaks down. Inquiries for high-value services get assigned to junior reps, or leads wait because the assigned specialist is in client meetings.

The System

Bigin 360 automates service-based routing and team calendar distribution. Inquiries are automatically evaluated by service category, assigned to the qualified specialist, and provided with team round-robin booking links.

Why this version

It delivers structured, enterprise-grade lead distribution and sub-pipeline tracking on a simple CRM interface that non-technical teams actually enjoy using.

Before You Start

  • → Configure Bigin 360 user accounts for all sales and specialist reps
  • → Map your exact service categories and representative skill sets
  • → Sync Google or Outlook calendars with Bigin Booking Pages

How the system works

How the tools connect and hand off to each other, step by step. Follow them in order, and each one links to the tool that does the work.

1

Inbound inquiry captured with service segmentation

Prospective client completes a smart intake form or WhatsApp flow specifying their exact service requirement.

  • › Form captures specific requirements: service category, budget range, and timeline
  • › Bigin custom fields automatically categorize the deal value and priority tier
  • › Record enters the Inbound Intake sub-pipeline for immediate qualification

2

Intelligent routing assigns the right specialist

Bigin assignment rules evaluate service category and rep availability to route the lead to the best specialist.

  • › Route technical inquiries to specialist engineers and general requests to sales representatives
  • › Use round-robin assignment within rep groups to balance lead volume evenly
  • › Lead owner receives an instant mobile alert with complete qualification notes
🔧 zoho-bigin
3

Specialist-specific booking calendar dispatched in under 60 seconds

Prospect receives a personalized confirmation containing the assigned specialist direct booking calendar.

  • › Dynamic email and WhatsApp confirmation embeds the assigned rep calendar link
  • › Prospect can self-select an open time slot directly on the specialist calendar
  • › Booked meetings automatically update the Bigin deal stage to Discovery Call Scheduled
🔧 zoho-bigin
4

Automated 45-minute response SLA timer monitors activity

System checks rep activity at 45 minutes and escalates if no contact attempt has been logged.

  • › Bigin monitors deal activity: phone calls, manual emails, or meeting bookings
  • › If uncontacted at 45 minutes, a reminder alert triggers to the rep and team lead
  • › At 60 minutes, the deal automatically reassigns to an on-duty backup representative
🔧 zoho-bigin
5

Seamless transition to Technical Qualification pipeline

Once initial contact is made, the deal moves automatically into the connected closing sub-pipeline.

  • › Rep marks initial outreach complete with call notes and qualification status
  • › Bigin sub-pipeline automation moves the deal to Technical Qualification without re-entering data
  • › Next steps and proposal drafting tasks populate automatically for the account manager
🔧 zoho-bigin
⚠️

What not building this costs you

Routing a $3,000 project inquiry to an unavailable team member who replies 24 hours later often costs the entire deal.

🪤

The catch: be aware

Bigin 360 handles team routing and sub-pipelines cleanly, but it remains CRM-focused. It does not include live website visitor chat or cloud phone infrastructure.
