Tuesday, 10:15 PM. A prospect types into the chat on your franchise page: "Is Dallas still open for a new location?" Your agent walks them through available territories in the Dallas area and asks about their budget and experience. The lead is marked hot and assigned to your regional franchise sales manager. In the morning, your franchise development director sees the full conversation in the Inbox with the lead card and takes over the chat personally.
