01 · The "Before" Reality

The Tuesday-Morning Mess

When Operations Manager Hugo Contreras and Alex opened AccuLynx during Sprint 1 to map the sales pipeline, they discovered 340 leads sitting in the raw Lead column. Some were already sold, some were dead, and dozens of warm homeowner inquiries had never received a second follow-up call because reps created contacts in AccuLynx and never moved the stage forward.

02 · Single Constraint Diagnosis

Primary Constraint Locked In

340 untouched/unworked leads sitting stagnant in the AccuLynx Lead stage with zero follow-up disposition, combined with jobs moving into production in AccuLynx before Job Value Approved and the upfront material deposit were collected.

Stop letting reps treat AccuLynx as a digital Rolodex. The Operations Manager owns daily AccuLynx Stage Hygiene - every new lead must be contacted, dispositioned, and moved out of Lead into Prospect / Inspection Scheduled or Dead/Archive within 24 hours.

03 · What Was Built in the Sprints

Specificity, Workflows & Playbooks

Audited the AccuLynx CRM pipeline (discovering 340 leads stuck in the initial Lead stage), mapped the Lead Acquisition & Sales Workflows, and built the AccuLynx Lead Triage & Speed-to-Lead Playbook.

04 · Real Rollout Friction & Course-Correction

How the System Held Up in Real Life

During the transition from Hugo Contreras to Adonis Garcia in Sprint 3, the team realized that simply cleaning up the 340 leads once wouldn't prevent the backlog from coming back unless Unworked Leads in AccuLynx > 48 Hours was tracked as a hard weekly number. Adonis built the Sprint 4 Weekly Scorecard with an explicit metric tracking AccuLynx stage aging so the Lead stage could never silently accumulate hundreds of unworked records again.

06 · In Their Own Words

"Alex is our only salesperson, so new leads wait or never get contacted, and AccuLynx has 340 jobs in Lead (Oct 2), many never followed up. Every lead has to go through Alex for qualifying, inspection, and estimate approval... The main issue is not fully having that set up where they have to ask the customer for a deposit first in order to buy those materials for the job."

Additional Workstreams Shipped

Additional Sprint Workstream 01

Enforcing the AccuLynx "Job Value Approved & Deposit Collected" Production Gate

What was built
Built the AccuLynx Pre-Production Approval & Material Ordering Playbook, linking GAF Roof Reports, Xactimate scope totals, and deposit verification before a job can move to the Approved / Order Materials stage in AccuLynx.
Before
Sales reps were verbally telling production a job was sold before the final contract value (Job Value Approved in AccuLynx) and initial check/deposit were verified - leading to premature material orders and margin errors.
Diagnosis
Make the Operations Manager the sole gatekeeper of the AccuLynx Job Value Approved button. No GAF report is converted into a material order until contract documents and deposits pass the Pre-Production Playbook checklist.

Additional Sprint Workstream 02

Delegating GAF Roof Report Ordering & Xactimate File Prep to the Operations Manager

What was built
Documented the GAF Roof Report & Xactimate File Setup Playbook (Sprint 2) and assigned ownership in the Role Library (Sprint 3) to Operations Manager Adonis Garcia, freeing Alex from manual desk prep before estimates are written.
