Availability
Gatestone built the managed sales approach around a clearer understanding of the enquiry. Advisors confirmed the address, the reason for the call and the household's needs before recommending a plan.

The challenge
An offer before the household’s needs
A broadband provider was receiving enquiries from households comparing plans and preparing to move. Its advisors had attractive offers to discuss, but the conversation often reached the promotion before it reached the practical questions: was the service available at the address, what did the household need, and when could installation take place?
When those details surfaced late, orders needed correction and customers faced expectations the activation team could not always meet. The provider needed the sale to hold together after the call ended.
Gatestone’s work
Starting with the household
Focused discovery
A short discovery guide helped them cover the relevant questions without making the conversation feel like an interrogation. Training connected that discovery to the recommendation.
An informed choice
Advisors explained the approved price, promotion period, equipment and installation terms in relation to the customer's situation. They checked understanding and gave undecided callers room to consider the options.
How the work changed
Carrying the decision into a complete order
Order details
Once a customer chose a plan, the team checked the submission and explained the next step. Gatestone managed recruitment, training, inbound conversations, order preparation and coaching. The provider retained control of products, pricing, acceptance rules and installation commitments.
Provider authority
That division gave advisors a clear boundary. They could explain an authorised offer and prepare the order, while commitments outside their scope went to the provider. The handoff carried the information needed to act on the customer's choice.
The service lead also brought activation problems and early cancellations into the sales review. Those records helped the team examine what happened after submission, including where a recommendation or explanation needed attention.
What changed

02A broader sales review
Conversion remained part of the review, alongside accurate explanations, corrected orders and completed activations. The engagement connected the commercial conversation to the service the household was buying.
03A complete handoff
Each order carried the customer’s choice, address and relevant terms into activation, with the requirements established before it reached the receiving team.
