These questions are designed to be answered honestly in a leadership meeting. If any are difficult to answer, that's useful information in itself.

  1. How many new inquiries did we receive last month — and how many reached a real conversation?
  2. How quickly, on average, does a new web inquiry receive a response?
  3. What happens to a call that isn't answered live?
  4. How many open estimates do we have right now, and how old are they?
  5. Does every salesperson follow the same follow-up process?
  6. Which marketing channels produced sold jobs — not just leads — last quarter?
  7. When did we last contact our past customers, and for what reason?
