$758 booked from 15 leads. Booking rate dropped to 13% (from 37%). But this isn't a sales regression -- it's a lead quality collapse. You were on vacation Mar 18--20 (ads paused), and the Problem Solvers ad group lost 71% of its traffic to lower-intent keywords. Your score held at 6.8, your avg ticket stayed consistent, and your discovery execution actually improved. $4,929 in pipeline sitting untouched -- the biggest single-week pool yet. The leads changed, not your skill.
You were offline Mar 18--20 (ads paused). The remaining active days had lower traffic because Google shifted budget away from your Problem Solvers keywords. This week's numbers represent ~3--4 active selling days, not 7. The ad account was fixed Mar 21.
| Category | Amount | % of Quoted | vs. Last Week |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Quoted | $5,966 | 100% | ↓ 54% from $13,097 |
| Booked | $758 | 13% | ↓ 84% from $4,844 |
| Didn't Convert | $4,929 | 83% | ↑↑ from 39% share |
| Lost | $279 | 5% | ↓ from 22% |
$4,929 in leads who got pricing and went quiet. Loss rate was only 5% ($279) -- the lowest of any week. These leads aren't saying no. They're just not saying yes yet. Combined with W2's pipeline, nearly $10,000 in leads who got quotes and didn't refuse. Follow-up is the unlock.
| Skill | Adherence | vs. Last Week |
|---|---|---|
| Opener | 100% (2/2) | → Stable |
| Discovery Q1 (Vehicle/Service) | 100% (1/1) | → Stable |
| Discovery Q2 (Condition) | 100% (3/3) | → Stable |
| Diagnosis Bridge | 83% (5/11) | ↑ from 63% |
| Skill | Adherence | vs. Last Week | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Close | 33% (2/7) | ↓↓ from 62% | 4 missed closes |
| Expectation Setting | 33% (1/3) | ↓ from 60% | 1 misapplied |
| Hesitation Handling | 50% (1/5) | → stable | 1 misapplied, 3 unknown |
Close rate regression is likely lead-quality driven, not execution regression. When leads feel price-resistant, the instinct is to back off from closing. The ad fix should restore higher-intent leads -- monitor close rate in W4.
4 missed closes in 7 opportunities. Even with price-resistant leads, asking for the appointment is always better than not asking. A "no" gives information. Silence gives nothing.
Target next week: Return to 50%+ close rate. The ad fix should bring better leads -- meet them with a close attempt every time.
12 of 15 leads are sitting in "Didn't Convert" -- 83% of all quoted revenue going idle. Combined with W2's pipeline, nearly $10,000 in leads who got quotes and didn't say no. Your morning brief has the messages ready. Send them.
Dropped from 60% to 33%. With the guarantee refund risk still open, setting expectations before starting work is more important than ever. "Most odors we can eliminate completely. Some deep-set ones we can significantly reduce."
Zero phone conversations -- vacation reduced inbound calls and remaining active days had low volume. No phone data to track the SMS/phone gap this week. Phone was at 5.8 for 3 straight weeks before this.
| Type | Count | % | vs. W2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Problem Solver | 10 | 67% | → from 69% |
| Occasional Detailer | 4 | 27% | ↑↑ from 9% |
| Enthusiast | 1 | 7% | → |
| Type | Booked | Didn't Convert | Lost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Problem Solver | 1 (10%) | 8 (80%) | 1 (10%) |
| Occasional Detailer | 1 (25%) | 3 (75%) | 0 |
| Enthusiast | 0 | 1 | 0 |
OD share jumped to 27% (from 9% W2). The generic Convenience Seekers keywords attract more maintenance-minded people. Problem Solver booking rate collapsed from 45% to 10% -- these are lower-intent leads from weaker keywords, not the pet-hair/odor/stain people who book at $389 without hesitation.
3 of 6 Saturday conversations used the identical template pitch ("sounds like you're looking for a great all-around detail"). None converted. The custom bridges (Pet Parent, Ernest) both produced strong outcomes. The pattern is clear -- pull one detail from their first message and reference it in the recommendation.
Leads engage but don't convert at $389+. This is the ad group shift at work -- Convenience Seekers keywords bring in people comparing prices, not people with a specific problem that needs solving. These leads need either a stronger value bridge or a more accessible entry point.
Ad group shift is attracting different lead types. ODs traditionally don't convert on first touch (0% booking across 3 weeks of data), but they also don't say no (0% loss rate). They're the follow-up opportunity -- if you send a message, they'll engage.
| Day | Count | Avg Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sat 3/15 | 6 | 7.1 | Busiest day. Pet Parent (8.5) standout. |
| Sun 3/16 | 3 | 6.8 | Ernest (9) standout. |
| Mon 3/17 | 1 | 7.0 | Corrie -- first probe sequence. |
| Tue--Thu 3/18--20 | 0 | -- | Vacation. Ads off. |
| Fri 3/21 | 5 | 6.4 | Return day. All ended without converting. |
Saturday and Sunday were strong (7.1 and 6.8 avg). Friday return from vacation was rougher (6.4) -- all 5 leads ended without converting. Consistent with an ad group that's now sending lower-intent traffic.
The biggest single-lead opportunity of the month. Enthusiast interested in ceramic coating. Strong discovery + custom package build. Went to "Didn't Convert" on scheduling -- high-value lead worth patient follow-up. This is the lead you land one per month and it changes the revenue picture.
Custom bridge ("based on the mud and the dogs, I know exactly what you need") led to instant booking. Template bridges on the same day produced zero conversions. The personalized diagnosis IS the difference maker.
3 of 6 Saturday conversations used the same template pitch. None converted. The 2 custom bridges (Pet Parent, Ernest) both produced strong outcomes. Re-read their first message. Pull one detail. Reference it. That's the formula.
| Metric | Mar W2 | Mar W3 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conversations | 32 | 15 | -53% |
| Avg Score | 6.9 | 6.8 | -0.1 |
| SMS Avg | 7.2 | 6.8 | -0.4 |
| Phone Avg | 5.8 | -- | No data |
| Booking Rate | 37% | 13% | -24 pts |
| Close Adherence | 62% | 33% | -29 pts |
| Loss Rate | 16% | 7% | -9 pts |
| OD Share | 9% | 27% | ↑ (ad shift) |
| Booked Revenue | $4,844 | $758 | -84% |
| Didn't Convert | $5,099 (39%) | $4,929 (83%) | ↑↑ % share |
The numbers look bad, but the cause is external (vacation + ad group collapse), not a regression in your sales execution. The ad account was fixed Mar 21. W4 will show whether the correction restored normal lead flow.
