Suggestions for having two customer types in potentials module
Hi,
We are a small healthcare services company using Zoho professional.
I'm struggling to figure out the best way to set-up our potentials module in Zoho because we offer two primary service-based products and the fee-schedule / data collection requirements for both are slightly different.
Our two primary potentials / customers are:
- Patients
- Healthcare facilities
Currently for patient potentials:
- We collect basic information but also collect health insurance information and a few other criteria for the facility we send them to
- There are 13 custom fields for this type of potential
- Patients are eventually sent to facilities which are currently registered as 'accounts' in Zoho.
- In the pipeline process, the patient is eventually assigned to one of our facility accounts.
- When the process completes, the potential is closed and we are able to see all the patients that were sent to the facility.
- The 'expected revenue' for patients is very different from our other service-line
For healthcare facilities potentials:
- We sell two services
- Patient intake processing (the process explained above)
- Insurance claims auditing (what I'm explaining in the section)
- For facilities, we need to collect more traditional deal metrics, like bed-size, est. annual revenue, services offered, etc.
- There are about a dozen custom fields for this potential
- New facility potentials eventually become accounts.
- The 'expected revenue' for facilities we are selling our insurance auditing is completely different from the patient intake processing
This is my current thinking for our Zoho set-up and questions:
- Use Zoho's 'products' and 'price books' for the two types of services, that is pretty straight forward
- Since both potential types have 12+ custom fields, is it possible to dynamically generate those fields in the 'potentials' form in Zoho? Example:
- Zoho user selects patient or facility for potential deal type
- The respective custom fields show up for that deal type
- It would be nice to do this so I don't have two dozen+ fields on screen for two completely different types of customers. I think this might end up confusing sales reps using Zoho.
- Is it possible to convert a potential to an account? This would never happen with a patient potential, but would definitely happen with a facility.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
