The moment an inquiry arrives: first response

9 items
  • Every form, call, WhatsApp, and LinkedIn message lands in one place (a CRM or shared sheet), and no inquiry stays only on someone's phone.
  • Who answers an inquiry and their backup are set, and if the owner is on leave, the inquiry routes to the backup automatically.
  • A target first-response time is written down (say, two working hours), and the real time is measured in the weekly report.
