WHERE WE START
A clear business problem.
A sale creates a promise the business needs to deliver. Activ-8 helps owners examine how enquiries become customers, where the buying journey loses momentum and what happens after the agreement is signed. The work connects sales behaviour with service delivery and repeat business.
This could be useful when:
- The team spends time pitching before scope and budget are understood.
- Proposals describe the offer but leave the next decision unclear.
- Customers repeat information when they move from sales to delivery.
- Renewals and repeat purchases depend on the owner remembering to follow up.
POTENTIAL PROJECT SCOPE
What the work can cover.
The proposal defines the specific deliverables, responsibilities and costs for your engagement.
Proposal and follow-up review
Examine how the offer is explained, how decisions are made and when follow-up is useful. Give salespeople a practical structure for progressing a suitable opportunity.
Customer onboarding
Map the first steps after agreement, including commitments, required information and the person responsible for delivery. Make the handover understandable to the customer and your team.
Retention and account development
Identify the points where the business should review delivery, gather feedback and discuss the next need. Build an account routine that fits the buying cycle.
A USEFUL FIRST CONVERSATION
Come with the context.
Bring examples of enquiries, proposals, lost opportunities and customer onboarding. Include the questions customers repeat and the commitments that are hardest to deliver. A small review can focus on one offer or customer segment.
Measures we could agree
- Qualified-enquiry to proposal conversion
- Proposal decisions and reasons for losses
- Time to complete customer onboarding
- Repeat purchases, renewals and unresolved service issues
Measures and targets depend on your starting point. We agree the baseline and review method as part of the scope.
HOW THE WORK PROGRESSES
From the initial review to delivery.
Examine the buying and delivery journey
Follow examples from first enquiry through the buying decision and initial delivery. Speak to the people involved and look for repeated questions, unclear promises and avoidable waiting. Record which issues affect conversion and which affect the experience after purchase.
Agree a practical sales and service process
Define qualification questions, proposal expectations and the next action at each stage. Set a clear handover from the salesperson to the delivery owner. Test the approach on a manageable group of opportunities and ask the team what needs adjusting.
Review results and repeat business
Compare the revised process with the starting point, including lead quality, proposal outcomes and onboarding delays. Use customer feedback to check whether expectations match delivery. Agree how account reviews, renewals and further needs will be handled by the team.
BUDGET AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Agree the investment and the handover.
What affects the budget?
A review of one offer or customer journey can use a total project budget. Continuing conversion and customer experience support can use a monthly budget. The number of salespeople, offers, markets and delivery handoffs affects the work. CRM configuration can be scoped as a connected service.
What your team takes forward
The agreed outputs can include qualification guidance, proposal structure, follow-up rules and an onboarding checklist. Give each stage an owner and define how the team will review results. Training, CRM changes and ongoing account support are included where the proposal specifies them.

USEFUL QUESTIONS
Before you enquire.
How does this relate to CRM and sales systems?
This service defines the customer journey, commercial conversations and team responsibilities. CRM and sales systems covers the platform configuration, integrations and automation needed to support that process. Both can be included in one agreed brief.
Can you help us qualify prospects before pitching?
Yes. We can agree the scope, budget, timing and decision information required before a proposal. The process should help the team recognise suitable enquiries and identify what still needs clarification.
Can the work focus on existing customers?
Yes. A scope can cover onboarding, account reviews, service feedback, renewals or repeat purchases. The starting point is the customer relationship and the improvement you want to make.
