Start with the household
Confirm service availability, the reason for the enquiry and how the household plans to use the connection. Use a short discovery guide so advisors can explain relevant options without turning the call into an interrogation.

The challenge
The offer comes before the need.
A broadband provider receives enquiries from households comparing plans or moving home. Advisors lead with the current promotion before confirming the service address, usage needs and installation timing.
Orders can require correction when expectations do not match the available service. The provider needs conversations that support a good decision and produce complete, accurate orders.
The managed-service approach
Understand. Explain. Confirm.
Make the choice clear
Explain the approved price, promotion period, equipment and installation terms in plain language. Check understanding and leave room for questions. Record the customer's choice without treating an undecided caller as a failed conversation.
Complete the handoff
Check order details and confirm the next step before ending the interaction. Review activation problems and early cancellations alongside call quality, then use those findings in targeted coaching.
How the model operates
Commercial focus. Customer control.
Gatestone manages
Recruitment, training, inbound conversations, order preparation and quality coaching. The service lead reviews both sales activity and what happens after the order is submitted.
The client retains
Product design, pricing, promotion terms and order-acceptance rules. The provider controls installation commitments and approves changes to sales guidance.
Success measures balance completed orders with accurate explanations, customer consent and successful activation.
