A CRM should reflect the real customer journey. For health and beauty businesses, that might mean enquiry to consultation, consultation to booking, purchase to repeat purchase, or appointment to rebooking.
Define the pipeline before choosing software
- New enquiry or customer
- Qualified / relevant
- Consultation or booking offered
- Booked / purchased
- Attended / fulfilled
- Follow-up or rebooking due
- Lost / inactive
Automate routine follow-up
- Enquiry acknowledgements
- Booking confirmations and reminders
- Rebooking prompts
- Lapsed-customer reactivation
- Post-purchase or post-visit follow-up
- Source and campaign attribution
Keep sensitive communication under human control
Automate logistics and low-risk communication, but escalate suitability, complaints, sensitive personal information or clinically relevant questions to the appropriate person.
Measure the full journey
- Response time
- Booking rate
- Show rate
- Purchase or treatment conversion
- Repeat booking or repeat purchase
- Customer value by source
