I’m on a client call right now.

We’re talking about follow-ups—and how the lack of a process is costing them.

Reminds me of a CEO who once admitted they hadn’t followed up on $60M worth of quotes.

Not because they didn’t care. Not because they weren’t capable.

But because there was no process.

We made one small change:

✅ On Day 7, a required CRM question: “Did you follow up?” Yes / No.

✅ On Day 8, sales management received a report of all outstanding quotes.

✅ On Day 12, any still outstanding quotes went to the CEO.

No more guesswork. No more storytelling. No more abdicating responsibility.

Process creates accountability. Hope is not a strategy.
