1

Lead capture

Do all important forms, calls, chats, bookings, and referral enquiries enter one visible system with a recorded source?

2

Ownership

Does every new enquiry have a named owner, response deadline, and backup person when the primary owner is unavailable?

3

Response speed

Can your team acknowledge new leads quickly and complete a meaningful human follow-up within a defined service level?

4

Qualification

Are budget, fit, urgency, service area, authority, and next steps captured consistently rather than stored in personal memory?

5

Pipeline visibility

Can the team see which leads are new, contacted, qualified, booked, proposed, won, lost, or waiting for nurture?

6

Follow-up continuity

Are tasks, reminders, email, SMS, call notes, and next actions visible without searching through separate inboxes?

7

Measurement

Can you connect lead source, appointments, proposals, sales outcomes, response time, and lost reasons to improve the process?

06

Won / lost / nurture

The automation should acknowledge the caller, create visibility, and support a human response. It should not pretend a real conversation has already happened.

Immediate acknowledgementSend a short, accurate reply only where consent and policy allow.
Create lead and taskAssign the contact and schedule a human callback.

Pre-appointment reminders

Choose timing based on the sales cycle. Avoid excessive messages and keep every reminder accurate.

Outcome and next step

Record attended, rescheduled, cancelled, or no-show, then create the correct follow-up task or sequence.

Before the meeting

Confirm who will attend, what will be discussed, and what information the prospect should prepare.

During the meeting

Capture notes, qualification, objections, commitments, and the exact next action in the shared record.

After the meeting

Send a useful recap, update the pipeline, schedule tasks, and avoid placing every lead into the same sequence.
