Name the next owner before you celebrate

Before marking a deal as “Won”, make sure there’s a named owner for the next step. Whether it’s delivery scheduling or client onboarding, assign it in your CRM. That one step can save weeks of confusion later.

Don’t rely on memory. Build accountability.

If it’s not written down, it doesn’t exist. A quick “sorted!” message might keep things calm in the moment, but if that promise isn’t tracked, logged, and assigned, it’s as good as forgotten.
