One owner moves the opportunity
Strategy owns source, fit, next action, proposal state, and handoff notes for this path.
Contract handoff
Deposit Paid Contract Handoff Guide
Deposit Paid Contract Handoff Guide for managing ZartsAlgo sales qualification, discovery, audits, proposals, scope, contracts, onboarding handoff, and win-back workflows at larger client volume.
Sales contract
What this opportunity path must protect.
Use this guide before scaling lead qualification, audits, proposals, contracts, onboarding handoff, or win-back campaigns.
Name the close risk
The main risk is promising outcomes that are not supported by audit evidence or provider data.
Separate promise from implementation notes
Internal caveats, provider limits, raw audit notes, and pricing assumptions stay internal until approved for client-safe language.
Track every opportunity event
At higher volume, every qualification, proposal, objection, approval, win, loss, and handoff needs owner, timestamp, stage, and next action.
Baseline controls
Checks that apply to every sales workflow.
- Confirm source, service fit, urgency, decision owner, contact path, budget signal, and next action.
- Create a task for every promised follow-up, proposal review, contract step, or onboarding handoff.
- Keep scope, exclusions, assumptions, integrations, timeline, and pricing separate.
- Attach every proposal to a lead, client, service, project, approval, and communication record where possible.
- Record sent date, viewed date, follow-up date, objection, probability, and decision deadline.
- Pause proposal work when audit evidence, scope, timeline, or decision path is not verified.
- Use client-safe summary language for audit findings, revenue proof, provider caveats, and launch blockers.
- Move won deals into project, portal, connector, reporting, and onboarding workflows before delivery starts.
- Track lost reason and reactivation window instead of deleting stale opportunities.
- Retest admin, portal, mobile, proposal links, and message copy after changes.
Topic checks
Specific checks for this opportunity path.
- Record payment state, contract state, kickoff date, onboarding owner, and launch blockers.
- Keep raw audit notes, private details, and provider caveats out of client-safe summaries until approved.
- Record lost reason, reactivation window, competitor context, budget issue, or no-fit reason.
- Measure qualification rate, proposal rate, close rate, dormant recovery, and handoff completeness.
- Confirm source, service fit, urgency, decision owner, contact path, budget signal, and next action.
- Capture discovery notes, pain points, current lead flow, provider stack, and decision criteria.
- Use audit evidence before naming scope, price, timeline, or expected improvement.
- Separate included deliverables, excluded work, optional add-ons, assumptions, and dependencies.
- Route proposal, pricing, sensitive claims, and contract language through an approval step.
Checkpoints
Turn the guide into a close-ready checklist.
Each checkpoint can become a field, task, approval gate, sales note, proposal rule, or onboarding requirement.
