Recovering $5.5 Million in Lost Sales Revisited: Kristian Hall ICYMI

In this ICYMI cut, Kristian Hall shares the service-first sales-recovery process behind millions in recovered home-service revenue. Learn why the best follow-up starts with research, a Happy Call that gets the customer talking, intentional listening, and checking every box before trying to close.

How much revenue is already sitting inside estimates your team did not close the first time? In this ICYMI highlight, Kristian Hall revisits the phone-based sales-recovery process that helped her recover millions in home-service revenue without stepping inside the home.

Kristian explains the progression of the process: find the gold already inside the opportunity, review and assess the customer before calling, make a Happy Call instead of jumping into a sales pitch, listen long enough to understand what the customer actually needs, and check every box before moving toward a recommendation.

The larger lesson is simple: sales recovery is not about having every answer or pushing harder. It is about doing the research, staying curious, letting the customer talk, and working the opportunities the business has already earned.

Review the notes and customer history before calling, then make each follow-up a Happy Call: ask what changed, let the customer talk, listen for what is really holding up the decision, and do not move to a recommendation until you have checked the important boxes.
