Overview
Follow-up drives most conversions and should be scheduled, not random. Respond quickly and close faster.
Diagnostics
- Confirm last contact attempt and response.
- Check preferred contact method.
- Review any promised next steps.
Resolution steps
- Use a 3-2-1 follow-up cadence (3 days, 2 weeks, 1 month).
- Send a short summary of benefits.
- Ask for a simple yes/no response.
Preventive maintenance
- Use reminders and templates in your CRM.
- Avoid over-contacting in a short window.
- Track open and reply rates.
When to contact support
- Switch channels after 2–3 no-responses.
- Offer a specific time window for a call.
- Pause and re-engage next quarter.
See packages and pricing at /pricing. Start with leads at /vending-leads or /hot-leads.
Expanded guidance
- Confirm all steps are documented so the next technician can reproduce the results.
- Capture before/after metrics (errors cleared, sales restored, or uptime improved).
- Review machine, reader, or route settings to ensure they match location standards.
Common pitfalls
- Skipping a controlled test leads to false positives.
- Updating hardware without documenting configuration changes.
- Forgetting to verify payout, refund, or reconciliation data after changes.
Next-step checklist
- Run a final test with known-good inputs.
- Log the outcome with date, time, and device identifiers.
- Schedule a follow-up check if the location has high traffic or seasonal demand.
