Sales & Enquiry Process

What happens between the phone ringing and someone signing up decides whether the enquiry was worth generating.

Why it matters

Marketing generates the enquiry. Your team decides what happens to it

What your team does next decides whether that enquiry becomes a participant or a missed opportunity.

I work with providers on the conversations, the follow-up and the systems that turn interest into signed agreements.

The work

What I actually build

01

The first hour matters more than the first impression

A family looking for a provider is often contacting two or three at the same time. The one that responds first, clearly and warmly, usually wins.

I help you set a response standard your team can actually hit, with a simple escalation path for when someone is on leave or unavailable. No complex software. A clear agreement about who responds, how fast, and what they say.

02

The first call is a conversation, not a form

Families and coordinators can tell within two minutes whether they are talking to someone who listens or someone reading from a checklist.

I coach your team on running intake calls that feel like conversations: ask about the person, understand what matters to them, explain what you do in plain language, and make the next step obvious. This is not a sales script. It is a structure that helps your team be themselves while making sure nothing important gets missed.

03 · Follow-up

The enquiry that is not ready today is still worth something

Plans get delayed, families need time, coordinators are comparing options. The providers who win these are the ones who follow up without being pushy.

I help you build a follow-up rhythm: when to check in, what to say, and when to stop. Simple, repeatable, and designed so your team does not have to remember who they called last Tuesday.

04 · Team coaching

Your team knows the work. The conversation just needs a framework

I run sessions with intake staff, coordinators and team leads on handling enquiries well. How to talk about your service without sounding like a brochure. How to answer the hard question, "what makes you different?", with something real. How to follow up in a way that builds trust rather than pressure.

Everyone leaves with something they can use on the next call, not a theory to forget by Friday.

05 · The handoff

Ads and SEO bring people to the door. Your team brings them inside

I sit across both sides, the marketing that generates the enquiry and the process that converts it, so there is no gap between the two.

If your ads are working and your close rate is low, the fix is not more ads. If your team converts well but the phone is not ringing, the fix is not more training. I look at the whole picture and put the effort where it moves the number.

Enquiry handling is the end of the chain. If you want it joined up with the ads and SEO that generate the enquiry in the first place, that is Managed Growth.
