Customer Category is one of the modules in MetoCRM, the medical tourism CRM built for clinics and health tourism agencies. The sections below cover what it does in day-to-day work.

Knowing what a patient wants before you read the thread

A clinic that treats hair transplant, dental and aesthetic patients is really running three different sales processes. They have different price ranges, different questions, different objections and different lead times. Treating every enquiry as one undifferentiated queue is how consultants end up answering the wrong question first.

Customer categories let you sort incoming patients into the groups your business actually works in. Each category can be given a colour, so as soon as a patient appears in chat the consultant knows what kind of conversation this is going to be — without reading back through the history.

  • Sort incoming patients into the categories your operation uses
  • Understand what a patient needs without a long conversation first
  • Give each category a colour your team recognises instantly
  • Filter by category from anywhere in the system
  • Prioritise and route interactions on something better than arrival order

Filtering that turns into planning

Categories are only worth setting if you can act on them. Because you can filter by category anywhere in the CRM, they become the basis for the ordinary work of running a clinic: seeing how many dental enquiries are open this week, sending a campaign only to aesthetic patients, or checking whether one treatment's leads are being answered more slowly than another's.

Combined with customer status, which describes how far along a patient is, and customer tag, which records the specific details, categories give reports something meaningful to break down by.

Defining your categories

Categories are defined once, to match how your clinic is actually organised — see the customer category guide.

Keep the list short enough that consultants use it consistently. A category set that nobody maintains produces reports that quietly mislead, which is worse than no categories at all.

Frequently asked questions

A category is the broad group a patient belongs to and is normally one value, such as the treatment area. Tags are the many smaller details you may want to filter on later, and a patient can carry several at once.

Yes. Each category can be assigned a colour so a consultant recognises the patient type the moment a conversation appears, without opening the record.

Yes. Category filtering is available across the system, which is what makes it useful for campaigns, workload checks and reporting rather than only for tidiness.
