Lead Management System (CRM)

1. Project Overview

A digital marketing agency needed a Lead Management System (LMS) to track leads from Meta, Google Ads, WhatsApp, website forms, and manual entries.

The existing process used Google Sheets + WhatsApp notes, leading to lost leads and poor follow-up. The goal was to create a clean CRM for the sales team to convert leads faster.


2. Problems Identified

  • Leads were not assigned to sales team properly.
  • No clear visibility of lead stages (New → Follow-up → Closed).
  • Slow manual updating caused missed opportunities.
  • No reminders for follow-ups.
  • Managers couldn’t see performance of the team.

3. Research & UX Insights

From stakeholder meetings, we understood:

  • Sales executives needed a mobile-friendly CRM.
  • Managers needed simple dashboards to track conversions.
  • All leads required color-coded status for clarity.

4. UX Strategy

We created a linear, friction-free flow:

Lead Flow Stages

New → Contacted → Interested → Proposal Sent → Follow-up → Won / Lost

Key UX Decisions

  • Kanban board for visual lead tracking.
  • Quick actions: Call, WhatsApp, Notes, Update Stage.
  • Auto-assign rules for new leads.
  • Reminder notifications for follow-ups.
  • Performance dashboard with:
    • Lead Source
    • Conversion Rate
    • Top Performing Executive

5. UI Design Approach

  • Clean dashboard with high-level KPIs.
  • Lead list showing:
    • Name
    • Source (Meta/Google/Website)
    • Status color tag
    • Last contact time
  • Use of blue + green palette for trust & clarity.
  • Collapsible sidebar for more working space.
  • Simplified forms with only essential fields.

6. Final Output & Results

  • Lead response speed improved by 5x.
  • Team collaboration increased because everyone saw real-time updates.
  • Managers got clarity on which campaigns were performing.
  • Conversion rate improved by 22% after 1 month of use.
