The Problem

Scattered inquiries create chaos and lost opportunities

When inquiries arrive through different channels, things get missed, duplicated or delayed. Your team wastes time checking multiple inboxes, and there's no single view of what's pending or who's handling what. This fragmentation directly costs you bookings.

  • Email, phone, website forms and social media all managed separately with no unified view of pending inquiries
  • No single view of all pending inquiries - you have to check multiple places to see what needs attention
  • Team members duplicate work or miss leads entirely because there's no clear ownership or visibility
  • Impossible to track response times or conversion rates across channels - you can't optimize what you can't measure

Frequently Asked Questions

Which inquiry channels can Joinways centralize?
Joinways integrates directly with email (Gmail, Outlook), website forms, and allows manual entry for phone calls and walk-ins. Social media inquiries can be forwarded via email or entered manually. The goal is one queue regardless of source.
How do team assignments work in a centralized inbox?
Inquiries can be auto-assigned based on rules (event type, date, source) or manually assigned by a manager. Each inquiry has a clear owner, preventing duplicate work. You can see at a glance who's handling what.
Can I still respond from my regular email client?
Yes. Joinways syncs with your email, so you can respond from Joinways or your regular email client. Either way, the conversation is tracked in the inquiry record. Your team can use whatever tool they're comfortable with.
How do I handle inquiries that come in after hours or on weekends?
Joinways can send automatic acknowledgments 24/7, letting clients know their inquiry was received and when they can expect a response. This ensures no inquiry sits without any response overnight or over the weekend.
What metrics can I track across channels once centralized?
Joinways tracks inquiry volume, response time, conversion rate and revenue by channel. You can see which channels perform best, where response times lag, and where to focus improvement efforts. This visibility is impossible with scattered inboxes.
