FMCG case study/03 Follow-up

Closing the enquiry follow-up gap for FMCG brands

Enquiries were arriving and being answered, and then nothing happened next. People who were not ready to buy in the first week were never contacted again, and the pipeline lived in one inbox. Retailer onboarding enquiries that never become stocked listings.

Client name withheld — we do not have permission to publish it.

Follow-up

What was going wrong

  • No record of who had been contacted, when, or what they replied, so follow-up depended on individual memory.
  • Retailer onboarding enquiries that never become stocked listings
  • Enquiries from every source shared one list, so the ones worth chasing could not be told apart from the rest.

Our approach

  • Every enquiry written into one pipeline with an owner, a status and a defined next action.
  • Follow-up sequences scheduled around the buying timeline, each with a route back to a person.
  • Pricing structures presented consistently to every enquiry
  • Territory mapping used to prevent channel conflict

The difference it makes

  • Every enquiry has an owner and a next action, visible to whoever picks it up.
  • Follow-up happens on a schedule instead of depending on who remembers.
  • The pipeline can be reviewed honestly, including the enquiries that did not convert.

What was delivered

An enquiry pipeline with statuses and owners, scheduled follow-up sequences, and a weekly review view.

  • Pipeline automation
  • Scheduled follow-up
  • Status tracking
  • Review view

Results

This study describes the engagement and the system it produced. Client names are withheld because we do not have permission to publish them, and no performance figures are shown because none have been approved for publication. When a client approves a figure, it belongs here.

    Qualified enquiry system for FMCG brands

    Enquiry volume looked healthy while the work behind it stayed the same. Distributor requests with no territory or product line detail. Nothing in the enquiry path separated a serious request from a casual one, so the best hours went into conversations that were never going to close.

    Local search visibility for FMCG brands

    The business was easy to find by people who already knew its name, and invisible to people searching for its services by area. Pricing and margin questions answered inconsistently. Nothing on the site matched a specific search.
