Check assignment before adding activity
An estimate can have several people involved and still have no one responsible for the next action. Ask who is expected to respond, how they receive the handoff, and what happens if they are unavailable.
Respect the team’s workload
Technicians, advisors, and office staff have competing work. Find where this responsibility fits and whether capacity exists. A reminder without time, context, or authority may simply add another task nobody can finish.
Preserve contributions
If a later sale occurs, record the relevant contributions and contact history. The shop decides compensation. Clear attribution rules should be agreed before work begins; a later sale alone does not establish who caused it.
