my role

Led UX and interaction design for the internal appointment management dashboard, collaborating with product and engineering partners to support concierge workflows tied to the CINC CRM.

impact

Clarified workflows for Appointments Inc. coordinators, helping product partners align on tools that support high-volume lead follow-up and efficient appointment setting on behalf of busy agents.

challenge

Appointments Inc. coordinators acted as a concierge layer for real estate agents, working large volumes of leads and activity data pulled from the CINC CRM. They needed a way to quickly review lead status, prioritize outreach, and schedule property viewings without losing context across multiple clients and agents. Existing workflows made it difficult to maintain momentum and visibility during high-volume calling sessions. The goal was to design a dashboard that supported rapid task execution while preserving the context coordinators needed to act confidently on behalf of agents.

approach

I began by mapping the coordinator workflow from lead review through outreach and appointment confirmation. Working with product stakeholders, I identified the moments where context switching and information gaps slowed coordinators down. Using these insights, I developed dashboard concepts that emphasized lead visibility, call prioritization, and quick access to agent and client context. Designs were iterated with cross-functional partners to ensure alignment with the underlying CINC CRM data structures and real operational needs.

key insights

  • Coordinators needed immediate visibility into lead status and recent activity before making calls.
  • High-volume outreach workflows benefit from strong next-action cues and minimal navigation.
  • Surfacing agent context alongside lead data reduced handoff friction.
  • Clear scheduling affordances improved confidence when booking on an agent’s behalf.
  • Tight integration with CINC CRM data was critical to avoid duplicate work and context loss.

outcome

The concepts provided a clearer model for supporting Appointments Inc.’s concierge workflow within the broader CINC ecosystem. This work helped align product teams around the unique needs of appointment setters and highlighted opportunities to streamline high-volume outreach and scheduling flows.

reflection

This project reinforced how internal operational tools often require a different design lens than customer-facing products. Prioritizing speed, context visibility, and workflow momentum proved essential for high-volume coordinators working on behalf of agents. With additional time, direct usability validation with Appointments Inc. staff would help refine prioritization cues and optimize the calling and scheduling flow under real workload conditions.
