01 / Website clarity

Can a new buyer
understand your website?

Open your home page as if you’ve never heard of your business. Then check:

  • Can you tell what the business makes, supplies, or services?
  • Is it clear who the products or services are for?
  • Can a buyer find the capabilities or details they need?
  • Is there one obvious next step?
  • Can you read the page and use its contact links on a phone?

Start here: Rewrite the first headline in plain language. Say what you do and who you help before describing your company history.

02 / Inquiry follow-up

What happens after
someone gets in touch?

Trace one recent inquiry from the first message to the next conversation.

  • Who receives the inquiry, and who owns the next step?
  • Does your team have the information needed to respond?
  • Is the reply useful and relevant to the question?
  • Is it clear when someone should follow up again?
  • Can your team see whether the inquiry is still open?

Start here: Give every inquiry an owner and a visible next step. A simple shared process is more useful than an elaborate tool nobody uses.

03 / Trade show follow-up

Keep the context
from the conversation.

Before the show, decide how your team will capture information that makes the next message useful.

  • Record the person’s question or application, not just a badge scan.
  • Note the information you promised to send.
  • Identify who on your team will follow up.
  • Group contacts by the conversation and next step they need.
  • Review contact permissions and preferences before campaign outreach.

Start here: Draft a short follow-up that references the actual conversation and delivers what you promised.
