What Happened to the Other Five?

Customer Opportunity Review — The Daily Save-A-Deal Operating Discipline

Six conversations and one appointment may sound like acceptable activity until the manager asks what happened to the other five. This card teaches managers to inspect unconverted activity before allowing customer opportunities to disappear inside a report.

Key PrincipleDo not only count completed activity. Inspect what did not convert and determine why.

Notice

Reopen the unconverted opportunities

One appointmentThe report shows the converted outcome.
Five other conversationsThe report may hide what was lost, missed, or left unresolved.
Manager inspectionEach unconverted conversation needs a reason and a next action.
AccountabilityThe opportunity remains active until the customer outcome is understood.

Discuss

Where did the other opportunities go?

Start here
  1. What happened to each conversation that did not convert?
  2. Which of those customers still has buying potential?
Inspect the process
  1. Which outcomes are supported by facts, and which are assumptions?
  2. What information or action is still missing?
Manager decision
  1. Which opportunity will the manager reopen first, and why?

Practice

Diagnose five outcomes

  • No answer after the first visit
  • Payment objection
  • Spouse not present
  • Customer wants to compare another vehicle
  • Customer video sent but not opened

For each one, answer: What happened? What is unknown? What is the confidence gap? What should the next conversation accomplish? Who owns it? When will it be inspected?
