Six areas to review

Record who owns each follow-up and what needs to happen next. This is an operational checklist, not a promise of additional revenue.

CHECK 1

Inquiries

Are all incoming calls, forms, and web chats captured in one place?

Record: Number of new inquiries; number with no recorded owner.

CHECK 2

Response time

Does every inquiry show when your team first responded?

Record: Count with no timestamp or unanswered after the business day.

CHECK 3

Unbooked estimates

Can you filter estimates sent but not accepted?

Record: Count and total face value of open estimates; keep face value separate from likely revenue.

CHECK 4

Follow-up cadence

Is there a clear next step and owner for every open estimate?

Record: Count with no next action or scheduled contact.

CHECK 5

Dormant customers

Can you distinguish service-due customers from customers who opted out?

Record: Number eligible for relevant check-ins, subject to consent and preferences.

CHECK 6

Outcomes

Does every lead have a disposition: won, lost, pending, or not qualified?

Record: Count with no outcome and reasons on lost opportunities.

Your 15-minute scorecard

Use the blank fields to capture counts, estimated value where relevant, and the person responsible for the next action.

Measure	Count / value	Action owner
New inquiries with no assigned owner	________________	________________
Unanswered inquiries	________________	________________
Open estimates without next step	________________	________________
Eligible customer reactivation opportunities	________________	________________
Records with no outcome	________________	________________

Estimate the opportunity, not a guarantee

Example only: 20 unclosed estimates × $4,000 average face value = $80,000 of open estimate value. That is not recovered revenue. Win probability, capacity, cancellation risk, timing and margins determine actual commercial value.

Prioritize three actions

Assign an owner to every new inquiry.
Add dated next steps to open estimates.
Review outcomes every week and track booked work separately from estimates.
