what we set out to move, and moved
01
Signed contract value
Index 100 → 120 across the two closers.
Same two people, no extra headcount.
+20%
02
Appointments the closers actually ran
84 → 110. The front desk booked 97 of them, against 2 in the previous period.
Before: inbound calls were handled by whoever happened to be free.
+31%
03
Closer A: jobs signed
Index 100 → 188, and his appointment-to-job rate went 32% → 43%.
The audit found he was presenting the product before understanding the problem.
+88%
moved without being planned
01
Paid search became the top bought source
Signed work from paid search, index 100 → 246, on flat ad spend.
The traffic was always arriving. It was being lost on the phone.
+146%
02
Closer B moved up-market
Average job index 100 → 210. Jobs in the highest-value product line 0 → 6.
That line is where most of the company's revenue comes from.
+110%
03
The closers generated their own pipeline
New prospects created by the two of them: 51 → 81.
Nothing in the plan asked for this.
+59%
what we did not finish in 90 days
01
Conversion did not follow the volume
110 appointments run, up 31%. Conversion 42% → 36%.
The intake fix delivered the appointments. The closing work on them is unfinished.
02
The past-customer campaign never ran properly
A list of several thousand past customers, planned at 1-2% response.
Four jobs came from that source in 90 days.
03
The second senior seat stayed empty
Open the whole 90 days. Role spec, territory map and onboarding playbook were built and went unused.
Hiring speed was outside our control and it capped the result.
