Start with age and quote context

Opportunity Hub places the freshest declined work first and labels older opportunities as cooling or cold. The age band tells the advisor how urgent the call is and whether the price needs a refresh.

Keep the reason on the call card

The focused card holds the customer, vehicle, declined service, days open, estimated value, and supporting record together. The advisor sees why this customer is next.

Open the conversation from the talk track

The talk track and guardrails come from the customer's own history. The advisor reads them once, chooses the customer, and makes the call.

Record the attempt and the result

Call, message, no-answer, booked, declined, and skip are one-key outcomes. The recorded outcome advances the queue and keeps what happened on the record.

Worked example: one pass through the call queue

The queue opens on the freshest declined work. The advisor reads the age band, the declined service, and the estimated value on the focused card before dialing.

The talk track is built from the customer's own history, so the opening line references real work rather than a generic script.

The advisor records the outcome with one key press. The card advances, and the next opportunity is ready without leaving the workspace.

Checklist: a clean call-queue pass

Keep the queue honest by finishing each card.

  • Work the freshest declined work before the cooling and cold bands
  • Read the record before dialing, not during the call
  • Record an outcome for every attempt, including no-answer
  • Refresh a stale price in Shopmonkey before quoting it again

Common questions

It orders work by age band and value so the advisor starts with the freshest, highest-value declined work. The advisor still chooses each customer and each call.
