Practical method

Know what happened to every enquiry.

See who owns an enquiry, when a person responded and what happens next. Start with a recent lead export, identify exceptions and set a response standard the team can use.

Start with your records

The management question

Can a manager follow any suitable enquiry from arrival to a known outcome?

The operating path.

Operating sequence
  1. CaptureCheck source, time and identity.
  2. AssignName an owner and a fallback.
  3. ActSet a dated commercial next step.
  4. CloseRecord the outcome or exception.

What you need.

A 30 to 90 day lead export with source, enquiry time, first human response, owner, stage, next action and commercial result. Read a sample end to end before designing a dashboard.

What you leave with.

A response standard

A shared stage dictionary and response expectations by enquiry type and business hours.

An exception queue

Suitable leads without an owner or dated next action are visible for review.

A useful baseline

Contact and qualified next-step rates can be measured consistently.

How to know it is working.

The method is working when a manager can select any suitable enquiry and see who owns it, what happened, what should happen next and when its commercial outcome became known.

A useful next step

Check the current lead path.

Use the Lead Handling Check to identify the first operating gap worth reviewing.
