Customer and sales

Score each statement based on what happens consistently—not only when the strongest person is available to compensate.

01Customer enquiries arrive through several channels without one shared record.
02Follow-up depends on a person remembering or checking old messages.
03Customers repeat information they have already supplied.
04Management cannot easily see which enquiries became sales.
