Give each open conversation a clear next action.
A quote can remain open because the customer needs more information, is waiting on someone else, or has chosen another option. A useful follow-up helps establish which situation applies.
Review your open opportunities with dates and notes in front of you. Check what was promised, when the last contact happened, and who is responsible for the next message. Respect communication preferences and opt-out requests.
