Unused Visit Review
Identify customers approaching the end of a term with required visits still incomplete.
The customer and operating outcome
Identify customers approaching the end of a term with required visits still incomplete. The plan must be understandable to the customer and deliverable by scheduling, dispatch, field, billing, and customer-service teams.
Plan controls
- Use the same scope, benefit, term, and pricing language across the website, agreement, office scripts, dispatch notes, field forms, and invoices.
- Avoid benefits that depend on unlimited capacity or undefined exceptions.
- Keep active-customer terms separate from future pricing or product changes.
Key checkpoints
- Run a due and overdue visit report early enough to recover capacity.
- Separate customer-deferred, company-delayed, no-access, and scheduling failures.
- Contact customers with specific available options and deadlines.
- Follow the agreement and local requirements for expired or unused services.
Implementation sequence
- Define the rule and the business owner.
- Document how the rule appears in customer communication and system records.
- Train office and field teams using realistic examples and exceptions.
- Test the workflow with a small account group before broad use.
- Measure completion, customer questions, cost, and retention impact.
Review evidence
- Agreement version and effective date.
- Customer authorization, covered assets, due visits, completed service, and open obligations.
- Revenue, delivery cost, discounts, cancellations, renewal outcomes, and service exceptions.
