02 • The Challenge
A long form was slowing down lead capture.
Registering one lead took about 10 minutes. At events, agents meet 10 to 15 prospects, so repeating a long form meant lost time and missed leads.
Agents also needed simple ways to find leads, track tasks and mark attendance.

10 leads x 10 minutes = 100 minutes of form filling
Goal: reduce friction in everyday work without losing essential information or verification.
03 • Research & Discovery
What was wrong with the old screen
I reviewed the existing screens and spoke with stakeholders. Here is what stood out on the old dashboard.
Existing UI and workflow reviewStakeholder discussions
1
Two time tabsMTD and YTD split the view before agents see anything useful.
2
Greeting bubbleUses prime space but offers no action.
3
Tiny day plannerA cramped, cut-off timeline that is hard to scan.
4
Buried actionNew Activity hides in Quick Links, so creating a lead is not a primary action.
5
Counts onlyGreen tiles show numbers with no hierarchy or next step.
6
Repeating tilesThe same tile style keeps repeating, adding noise.
Also missing: an attendance check-in and a clear task list.
Key findings
01
Lengthy registration
About 10 minutes per lead, which adds up fast.
02
High-volume capture
10 to 15 prospects at one event multiply every extra step.
03
Workflow clutter
The dashboard and daily actions needed clearer order and easier access.
Research note. Findings come from the existing workflow review and project information. Formal user interviews, surveys and usability tests were not part of the confirmed research.
04 • User Persona
Meet the Financial Advisor
The primary user is a field-based advisor who meets prospects and runs daily operations through AMS/LMS.

Needs
A short lead creation journey
Clear navigation and feedback
Quick access to leads, tasks and attendance
Design opportunity: help agents spend less effort on the system and more time with customers.
A provisional persona based on the known workflow and stakeholder context, not a validated research profile.
05 • Research Insight
Capture the essentials first.
How much does an agent need to enter at the very start? My answer: three fields, then verification.
Before
Everything upfront
A long form at the very first meeting.
→
After
Essentials first
Customer name
Mobile number
State
Verify mobile number→Lead created
Everything else comes later, when it is relevant.
06 • Card Sorting & Information Architecture
Pinning down the structure
Based on the interface review and stakeholder discussions, I grouped the product around what agents do.
01
Dashboard
Daily overview
Quick access to essential actions
02
Lead Management

04
Attendance

Access settings
A proposed information architecture. A formal card-sorting study with agents would be needed to confirm these categories match their mental models.

UX decisions
01
Reduce initial data entry
Limit the first interaction to essential details.
02
Retain verification
Use OTP to verify access to the entered mobile number.
03
Provide clear feedback
Confirm when the lead has been successfully created.
04
Support recovery
Design clear error and retry states for invalid or expired OTPs, according to the system's verification rules.
08 • Wireframes
From sketch to structure
Low-fidelity wireframes for the core screens, focused on hierarchy and flow before any visual styling.

09 • The Design Solution
The design solution
01
Quick Lead Creation
The registration journey was simplified to three fields followed by OTP verification. This reduces the amount of information requested upfront and creates a more focused interaction for agents capturing leads in the field.
UX value: less initial data entry, clearer progression and a more focused registration experience.
02
Mobile-First Experience
The interface prioritizes readability, clear actions and easy navigation for field-based users.
UX value: supports quick interactions and access to essential workflows in a mobile environment.
03
Unified Agent Dashboard
The dashboard brings together the key areas of the agent experience: leads, tasks, attendance and daily activities.
UX value: provides a clearer starting point for navigating the platform and accessing frequent actions.
Create Lead in three steps
The final screens split lead creation into a short stepper.
Step 1: MeetingBasic details (first name, last name, mobile number) and whether a meeting is scheduled.
Step 2: Customer InfoGender, occupation, date of birth, income range and closure date.
Step 3: Product PlanProduct type, sum assured, premium amount, payment frequency and lead source.
Progressive disclosure in action
The form reveals more only when it is relevant.
No meeting yetA short prompt reminds the agent to schedule a meeting at the earliest to drive closure.
Meeting scheduledThe agent picks the meeting date. Additional details become visible only on the meeting day, once the meeting is completed.
Meeting dayA Meeting Done toggle appears next to the scheduled date.
Meeting doneThe meeting is marked as done.
Lead detail
Everything about a lead, organized into three tabs.
InfoName, lead ID, created date and time and contact number, with a call shortcut and a Process Lead button.
AppointmentFollow-up and notes: meeting date and time, follow-up type and a note field.
HistoryA timeline of the lead from Lead Created to Lead Closed.
10 • Task Tracking & Attendance
Supporting the complete daily workflow
Lead creation was the primary focus, but the redesign also considered how agents interact with other essential workflows.
Task tracking
Organize pending activities and task details so agents can understand what needs attention and access the next available action.
Attendance management
Make attendance status and relevant actions easier to locate and understand.
Dashboard navigation
Establish clearer destinations and a more consistent hierarchy for daily agent activities.
Home, calendar and notifications
The daily workflow screens.
HomeCheck-in, search, headline numbers, Today's Tasks and the Create button in the bottom bar.
CalendarA date strip with Today, Upcoming and History tabs. Each entry shows the customer, time, status and meeting type.
NotificationsAll and Unread filters, with reminders for demos, huddles and activities.
11 • Design Principles
The redesign followed four core principles.
01
Simplicity
Remove unnecessary complexity from frequent workflows.
02
Progressive disclosure
Request essential information first and introduce subsequent steps when needed.
03
Clarity
Use understandable labels, a clear action hierarchy and useful feedback.
04
Consistency
Create a predictable experience across lead management, task tracking, attendance and dashboard navigation.
12 • Validation & Success Metrics
Measuring whether the redesign works
The existing workflow provided a baseline of approximately 10 minutes per lead. The redesigned journey should be evaluated through usability testing and product data before claiming a specific improvement.
01
Lead creation time
Compare the time required to create and verify a lead before and after the redesign.
02
Task completion rate
Measure how many agents successfully complete each workflow.
03
Error rate
Track invalid entries, OTP errors and incomplete registrations.
04
Navigation usability
Evaluate how easily agents find leads, tasks and attendance actions.
05
Data quality
Check whether the simplified registration process maintains reliable records.
No post-redesign performance figures are claimed here because measured results were not provided.
13 • Reflection
Better UX starts by removing unnecessary effort.
This project highlighted the importance of designing around the user's real working context. A registration process that seems manageable when completing a single form can become cumbersome when an agent needs to repeat it for multiple prospects during an event.
By focusing on essential information, simplifying the lead creation journey and organizing daily workflows more clearly, the redesign established a more focused approach to the agent experience.
The goal was not simply to redesign the screens. It was to make the everyday experience of using AMS/LMS simpler, clearer and more efficient.
14 • UX Laws
UX laws applied
The laws of UX that shaped the decisions in this redesign.
01
Hick's Law
More choices take longer to decide.
In AMS/LMS: Only three essential fields first, with details revealed when relevant.
02
Jakob's Law
People prefer patterns they already know.
In AMS/LMS: Familiar steppers, tabs, cards and a bottom navigation bar.
03
Fitts's Law
Big, close targets are faster to hit.
In AMS/LMS: A large central Create button and full-width Submit buttons within thumb reach.
04
Miller's Law
People hold only a few items in mind at once.
In AMS/LMS: A long registration chunked into three steps: Meeting, Customer Info, Product Plan.
05
Goal-Gradient Effect
Motivation rises as the goal gets closer.
In AMS/LMS: The stepper shows completed and remaining steps, so agents want to finish.
06
Law of Proximity
Nearby items feel related.
In AMS/LMS: The meeting date sits right under the scheduled toggle; related details stay together.
07
Law of Common Region
Items in a shared area feel grouped.
In AMS/LMS: Cards and tabs group tasks, calendar entries and lead history.
08
Von Restorff Effect
The item that differs is remembered.
In AMS/LMS: The Create button, status tags and primary actions stand out from their surroundings.
