Three things to act on

Your busiest call window is 11am–1pm

26 of 103 calls arrived in this two-hour window; 2 were missed. Across all hours, 19 calls were missed.

Check phone coverage in this window and which missed enquiries still need a callback.

$42,050 of quoted work has been open for 30+ days

That is 17 of 33 open quotes. Total open quoted work is $72,850. These are potential jobs, not confirmed sales.

Ask the quote owner what each older customer is waiting on, confirm the next step and set a follow-up date.

Some online enquiries may still be waiting

3 have no human reply recorded. Another 7 need their reply evidence checked.

Verify whether they were answered; respond to any still waiting and confirm who owns the reply.

Thirty days is an illustrative review threshold, not an agreed expiry or overdue date. Age means time since quotation, not time since last activity. Last follow-up, next-action dates and reasons are not supplied, so inactivity or customer intent cannot be established. Quote amounts are invented potential work, not cash owed, probability-weighted pipeline or forecast revenue.

Where better enquiries appear to come from

Organic search: 15 sales from 45 enquiries.
Google Ads: 15 from 60. Organic search has the higher observed sales share in this sample.

A signal to investigate, not a spending decision. Lead age, job mix, costs and margins still need checking. AI-source samples are too small to judge.

Evidence to complete: 10 unknown sources · 14 unknown outcomes · 7 online reply records to verify. These gaps can overlap.

Your priorities

What to do next, and why

Suggested actions for the example business. Owners and review times below are proposals, not assigned tasks.

01

Check the missed-call path

19 of 103 call contacts were missed. Establish whether they were recovered before counting them as lost opportunities.

Action: Check the 19 missed-call records. Call back any enquiry still awaiting a response, using the business's contact rules.

Suggested owner: Office / enquiry owner · Review: Next working day

Check afterwards: Recovery status and eventual outcome recorded for each missed call.

02

Check online response gaps

3 online enquiries have no human response recorded. Another 7 lack response evidence, which is a data gap rather than proof nobody replied.

Action: Check the three online enquiries with no reply recorded; reply if still needed. Verify the seven records with missing response evidence.

Suggested owner: Online enquiry owner · Review: Next working day

Check afterwards: Each record has a verified human response or an explicit unresolved status.

03

Review older open enquiries

The median age of open enquiries is 40.5 d (n=62). Ask what is waiting on the business, what is waiting on the customer and which records need updating.

Action: Review the oldest open enquiries and quotes. Record whether the next step sits with the business or the customer.

Suggested owner: Sales / quote owner · Review: Within two working days

Check afterwards: Each reviewed opportunity has a current stage, reason for the wait and next step.

Enquiry quality

Where do the better enquiries come from?

Organic search shows a stronger observed sales signal. It is a source to understand better, not yet a budget verdict.

Organic search produced 15 sales from 45 enquiries (33%), compared with 15 from 60 for Google Ads (25%). Business Profile also shows 10 from 30 (33%). Organic search has the highest recorded paid value in this mock: $22,910 ex GST from 13 paid jobs.

These are observed results across different enquiry ages and job mixes. Paid value is not profit. Neither conversion share nor paid value alone establishes the best source. ChatGPT has four sales from twelve enquiries; Perplexity has one from eight. Those samples are too small for a dependable ranking.

Action: understand the stronger enquiries before changing spend

Suggested owner: marketing owner with the sales owner. Review the organic and paid-search jobs by service, enquiry age and value. Add advertising cost and margin evidence. Check whether the difference still holds for comparable, mature enquiries; keep the budget decision open until then.

Time and opportunity

Where is work waiting?

39 open enquiries are at least 30 days old. That is a review queue, not a list of confirmed lost sales.

18 of those have a recorded quote at least 14 days old. These age bands are illustrative review cuts, not agreed deadlines. The overall median open age is 40.5 d (n=62); completed sales took 16 d (n=51) from enquiry. The 100 online-origin enquiries show 120 min (n=90) to first human response across records with a reply.

A slow sale can reflect customer approval, information still needed or job timing. Ask which next step is waiting and who owns it. A recent enquiry has had less time to sell; never treat it as a failed conversion.

Check whether the action helped

At the next review, revisit these same opportunities. Count verified next steps and movement to quote, sale or closure separately from new enquiries. No earlier snapshot is supplied here, so improvement is not claimed.

Confidence in the picture

Where is evidence lacking?

10 enquiries have no evidenced source

The source comparison is incomplete. Inspect original referrals, campaign links or CRM source evidence. Retain Unknown when it cannot be established.

14 enquiries have no known outcome

Sales or losses may be missing. Ask the outcome owner to verify current status; unknown does not mean lost.

Seven online records lack human-response evidence

Response performance could look better or worse than reality. Confirm actual reply events; keep missing evidence separate from no reply recorded.

Costs, margins and equal-age comparisons are missing

We can show observed sales and paid value, not profitability or a reliable spending recommendation. Add costs and compare similar enquiry cohorts.

AI-source samples are small

Keep collecting evidenced ChatGPT and Perplexity enquiries. Do not turn four or one observed sales into a confident source ranking.

Evidence gaps can overlap the same enquiry. Do not add them together as distinct leads. In this concept, every number and source assignment is fictional.

Calls

Answering the phone is only the first step.

Fictional recordsOutcomes by initial enquiry route

19 of 103 call contacts were missed (18%). Review the time of day, callback and eventual outcome before calling these lost sales. Call-origin sales are kept separate from online-origin enquiries that later called. Callback completion is not provided in this mock.

Online enquiries

A submission is the start of the conversation.

Fictional recordsOutcomes by initial enquiry route

There are 45 email-origin and 55 form-origin enquiries. First human response is 120 min (n=90) in calendar minutes, across records with a response. 3 have no response recorded, while 7 lack response evidence. Those gaps are different. Review unresponded records before judging staff performance; automatic acknowledgements do not count.

How to interpret the comparison

Calls produced 23 accepted sales from 80 call-origin enquiries. Online produced 28 from 100 online-origin enquiries. This is descriptive evidence, not proof that one route is better: service mix, age and missing outcomes can change the comparison.

ChatGPT and Perplexity are shown separately here using invented attribution. Live reporting would need reliable referral or source evidence. A form or email address alone cannot establish marketing source.

Hold the budget decision

Spend, margins and a comparable earlier period are absent. Paid job values do not establish profit, sales uplift or advertising savings. First check the older enquiries and the evidence gaps.

The next conversation

Choose one check. Give it an owner.

The outcome owner reviews missed-call recovery, online enquiries with no recorded human response and the oldest open quotes. Agree one first investigation, an owner and review date. Record reasons and compare the same leads at the next read.

Older open examples to review

Open lead age is 40.5 d (n=62); time to sale is 16 d (n=51) for completed sales only. Recent leads are not failed sales. Review the oldest open examples: MOCK-082 (Flyer, 89 days, quoted); MOCK-164 (Google Ads, 84 days, quoted); MOCK-098 (Google Ads, 83 days, no quote recorded). Ask what is holding each up.

Definitions, coverage and limitations

Source attribution across both segments

Each enquiry has one marketing source and one initial contact route. ChatGPT and Perplexity are separately represented in this mock, as are paid search, organic, Business Profile and flyers. All attribution assignments are invented. In live evidence, preserve referral/campaign/verified CRM evidence; otherwise retain Unknown source. A form followed by a call about the same job remains one enquiry.

What not to conclude

Source samples and follow-up ages differ. Small AI-source cohorts cannot justify a winner/loser judgement. No advertising spend, margin or prior comparable period is supplied: paid values are fictional gross receipts ex GST, not profit or attributed uplift. Do not recommend budget increases, cuts or a specific service from this example.

How the counts work

Segment outcomes use initial contact route: 80 call-origin plus 100 online-origin enquiries = 180 distinct opportunities. Contact events include later follow-ups and are not unique leads. *Call contact counts include later calls from online-origin enquiries. **Response measures cover online-origin records only, use calendar minutes, exclude absent evidence from response medians, and include an eligible-record count. Open/sold/lost/unsuitable/unknown are exclusive statuses; quote and paid milestones overlap those statuses. All timing cells show sample size; combined medians are recalculated from histories, never averaged from segment medians.
