Enquiries: Centralise and manage all customer queries

Handle inbound enquiries, track tasks and follow ups, and turn conversations into sales.

Enquiries provides a central place to manage all inbound enquiries, giving you visibility and control from first contact through to sale. Each enquiry is captured as its own record, making it easy to track conversations, manage follow ups, and move opportunities forward without losing context.

  • Capture enquiries from Private Rooms*, connected websites*, art fairs (via AG Kiosk), emails and in person conversations.

  • View key details and current status at a glance for every enquiry.

  • Create tasks, schedule follow ups and reminders, and manage enquiries through a defined pipeline.

  • Convert enquiries directly into quotes or sales invoices while keeping the full conversation history intact.

Checking your Enquires

Navigate to Sales > Enquiries to open the dashboard.

Open

After navigating to the Enquiries tab, you will load into Open by default. These are new enquiries that have come in from all of your different sources. Open queries are the first stage of the pipe line, and require responses from you and your team.

Responded

Open enquiries automatically have an "initial follow up" task assigned to them. Once you have responded to an enquiry, you can then mark this task as complete, which will move the enquiry from Open to Responded.

Qualified

Once you have responded to an enquiry and confirmed that it represents a genuine sales opportunity, you can update the status from Responded to Qualified. This indicates that the lead has been assessed, shows clear interest, and is worth actively pursuing (towards a quote, reservation, or sale.

Converted

Once an enquiry has successfully resulted in a sale, reservation, or invoice, you can update the status to Converted. This indicates that the enquiry has moved through the pipeline and has been successfully turned into a confirmed outcome.

Closed

Once an enquiry is no longer progressing and will not result in a sale, you can update the status to Closed. This is typically used for enquiries that have gone cold, received no response, or where the customer has decided not to proceed.

Archived

You can then move enquiries to Archived once they are no longer relevant to your active pipeline. Archiving helps keep your enquiry list tidy while still retaining the record for reference or reporting.

All

View all of the above, in a single list.
