What matters

A customer may describe an issue, a planned replacement or maintenance interest. The sales team should record that context and route the next step appropriately without diagnosing technical work through a generic commercial message.

Put it into practice

  • Record the customer’s stated need
  • Identify the appropriate next assessment
  • Confirm who will follow up

An example in practice

A customer asks about a planned replacement. The team records the inquiry and arranges the next assessment rather than treating it as a confirmed installation sale.

What to track

Track request types and completed commercial handoffs.
