For one week, record how many opportunities come in, where they come from, who responds and how many move on to an appointment or proposal. Break down losses by stage, not just by salesperson.
Choose a single definition of lead and opportunity
Record the source, entry date and owner
Measure conversion at each stage
Review why open cases stall
GUIDE 02
Design the first contact
The first response should acknowledge the inquiry, ask for missing information and propose a next step. Prepare versions for working hours and after hours, with an easy route to a person.
Respond through the original channel when possible
Use brief, relevant questions
Show who will follow up
Record the date and commitment for the next contact
GUIDE 03
Measure what you can improve
Start with four indicators: new opportunities, response time, completed appointments and closing rate. Define the period and who records each event before comparing results.
Review trends, not just totals
Segment by channel and team
Distinguish activity from outcomes
Document changes to definitions
GUIDE 04
Prepare useful automation
Choose an event that is often overlooked today, such as a confirmed appointment or a sent proposal. Define the trigger, message, owner, pause and a condition for stopping the workflow.
