03 Follow-up · Plastics

Closing the enquiry follow-up gap for plastics processors

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. Tooling costs discussed without a volume assumption.

01 — Diagnosis

What was going wrong

01
No record of who had been contacted, when, or what they replied, so follow-up depended on individual memory.
02
Tooling costs discussed without a volume assumption
03
Enquiries from every source shared one list, so the ones worth chasing could not be told apart from the rest.

02 — Approach

Our approach

01
Every enquiry written into one pipeline with an owner, a status and a defined next action.
02
Follow-up sequences scheduled around the buying timeline, each with a route back to a person.
03
Packaging and component enquiries routed separately
04
Reusable part specifications for repeat production

03 — Publication standard

What this page does not show

No named client. This plastics engagement is described by sector and method, not attributed to a company.
No dates and no figures. Where a performance number would normally sit for follow-up and routing discipline work, this page has none because none has been approved for publication.
What is checkable: the enquiry follow-up problem scoped in section 01 and the enquiry follow-up build specified below. Both can be walked through on a call.
