The Follow-Up Gap
A simple system for managing enquiries, quotations and follow-up.
THE APPROACH
A trackable enquiry pipeline and follow-up process
A small home improvement business received enquiries through its site, telephone and social channels, but busy working days made it difficult to track outstanding calls, site visits and quotations. The problem was inconsistent follow-up rather than a shortage of potential customers.
Mapping the enquiry journey revealed gaps after a new request, following a visit and after a quotation was sent. Better acknowledgement and a simple shared view could reduce uncertainty for customers and the owner.
Create one enquiry record, clear stages and a manageable set of acknowledgement and reminder messages. Keep important pricing, scope and customer conversations with a person rather than attempting to automate every interaction.
Define stages from new enquiry to quote sent and completed. Connect forms and incoming contacts where supported, then create appropriate notifications and follow-up reminders. Test timings against business hours and give staff control to pause or take over messages.
A practical pipeline for organising incoming work. Response times, outstanding quotes and progress between stages would help the owner review the process and identify what needs attention.
