A simple intake form should give staff enough context to decide the next step before the first conversation.

It should not try to collect the entire customer history in advance.

## Start with what staff actually need

List the information used before first contact.

That may include:

- name;
- preferred contact method;
- requested service;
- basic location or service area;
- short description of the request;
- a service-specific detail that changes routing.

Anything staff do not use at this stage should be questioned before becoming required.

## Separate required from optional fields

A useful form makes the minimum path obvious.

Optional context can still help, but the customer should not have to complete several low-value fields just to ask for service.

## Use service-specific questions only when they matter

A conditional field can be useful when one answer changes preparation or routing.

It should not create a maze of questions merely because the form system supports branching.

## Explain the follow-up

Tell the customer what submission means.

The next step may be a call, email, request for more detail, scheduling discussion, or staff review.

Do not imply approval, pricing, or availability that has not been established.

## Store the information only as long as needed

Submitted details should go only to the systems and staff that need them for the intake process.

Avoid collecting sensitive information without a clear business reason.
