Balancing new activity with existing customer commitments
A team that only rewards new activity can lose track of customers already expecting a response.
A practical approach
Make due follow-ups and project questions visible alongside prospecting goals. Reserve time for commitments that cannot responsibly wait. Review whether workload is preventing reps from completing both types of work. Adjust ownership when necessary instead of quietly letting existing customers become an afterthought.
Put it into practice
- Display due commitments
- Protect follow-up time
- Adjust overloaded ownership
