It does not click the way people do, so scores built on clicks miss it. 2. **Your work moving to agents.** Agents keep the data clean, score on live signals and get every lead to a named person the same day. ## The problems we see Each one with what you keep, and the questions buyers ask on the way to fixing it, answered. ### Nobody can say what happened to last quarter's leads. Your work moving to agents. What you keep: The people who answer enquiries. - **Enquiries come in and deals come out. Why does the middle matter?** The middle is where revenue goes missing quietly. If enquiries land in an inbox, nobody can say how many came, who answered or what happened next. - **What is the smallest system that fixes it?** Four things. Every form writes to the CRM. A confirmation goes out at once. Each enquiry goes to a named person. Stages are defined so anyone can see where it stands. - **Can that be done in the tools we already have?** Almost always. In my two-week assessment those fixes are made in your own systems while I am there. ### Our first reply takes a day. Your work moving to agents. What you keep: The personal reply from a real person. - **We reply within a day or two. Is that slow?** By then the buyer has often heard from someone else. The first useful reply tends to shape the shortlist. - **Can a first reply be instant and still be honest?** Yes. The confirmation is instant and says it is automatic. The personal reply follows from a named person, from a draft an agent prepared. A person reads it and sends it. - **What happens to quality when agents draft replies?** Nothing leaves unread. The agent does the looking up and the first draft. Your person keeps the judgement and the send button. ### Our lead score counts clicks, and the visitor may be an agent. Agents coming in. What you keep: The stages and the handoff your teams agreed. - **Our scoring has worked for years. What changed?** It counts human behaviour: pages viewed, emails opened, forms filled. When a buyer sends an agent to do the reading, those clicks never happen, and a ready buyer can look like nobody. - **What do we score in its place?** Keep fit, which still holds. Add signals that survive delegation: a direct question, a request for pricing, a change at the company. Score what the buyer does, whoever does the clicking. - **Do we have to rebuild the whole model?** No. The stages and the handoff stay. The inputs change. That is a piece of work with a clear edge. ### An agent cannot make an enquiry. Agents coming in. What you keep: Your protection against spam. - **Why would an agent fill in our contact form?** Because its owner said: ask these five suppliers for a quote. Many forms stop it with a puzzle, several steps or a required phone call. - **Should we drop the protection?** Keep it and add a door: an email address in plain text, a short form, the common answers on the page. Then decide how an enquiry from an agent is routed. - **How do we tell a buyer's agent from spam?** By what it asks and who it says it acts for. A real one names the need and wants specifics. Send it to a person to confirm. ### We cannot trace revenue back to what produced it. Your work moving to agents. What you keep: Your channels and your judgement about budget. - **We know what marketing costs. Why can't we say what it returned?** The lead, the deal and the revenue sit in different places with nothing joining them. Each tool reports on itself. - **What has to be joined?** The source on every lead, the stages from first touch to closed won, and the deal value. Keep those three clean and the report follows. - **Have you done this at scale?** Yes. A paid social programme I ran at Sustainalytics turned roughly $400K of annual spend into about $18M in pipeline and $6M to $7M in closed revenue. Tracing spend to revenue is the work I mean. ## What is in Route - CRM lifecycle stages - Lead scoring and routing - Pipeline reporting - Data hygiene Each area can be bought three ways: we set it up once, we run it for you every month, or agents keep watch and each month you hear what changed and what to do next. Most start with [the two-week assessment](https://closedwonlabs.com/assessment/). ## The free check for Route You answer eight questions while the scanner reads how your site takes an enquiry. You see where enquiries go missing, and the three fixes to make first. It is being built. Until it is ready, send me a line about Route and I will answer it myself. - [Ask about Route](mailto:hello@closedwonlabs.com?subject=Closed%20Won%20Labs%3A%20Route) Next area: [Close](https://closedwonlabs.com/close/) · [All six areas](https://closedwonlabs.com/#areas)
