Demo business — real audit patterns, anonymized

High-intent patients are leaking before the first call.

A full demonstration report. The business is fictional; every pattern in it is one we have measured in real audits.

The team is warm and courteous when it engages — but slow first replies, prices that don’t match the clinic’s own website and Instagram, and zero follow-up mean implant and Invisalign inquiries are quietly choosing the clinic that answered first.

First reply, price accuracy, follow-up and courtesy are four of the nine criteria. A channel with no reply in 7 days scores 0 — there is nothing to judge, so it gets no partial credit. Listed price = what you publish on your website or social profiles. A quote at or above a “from” price counts as consistent; where nothing is listed we show “No listed price to compare” instead of a score. The overall score is the weighted total across the nine criteria.

02 — Criterion scores

Nine criteria, scored across every channel

Response time22/100
weakest: email inquiry

Email inquiry sent Tue 09:14. First reply Tue 18:41 — 9h 27m later. The Lead Response Management study (MIT / InsideSales.com, 2007, vendor-funded) found the odds of contacting a lead drop about 100-fold between a 5-minute and a 30-minute response.

Answered at all70/100
weakest: inquiry form

Email inquiry, live chat, WhatsApp and phone call answered. The inquiry form submission (Mon 09:40) never received any acknowledgement during the 7-day window.

Price accuracy vs listed price35/100
weakest: email inquiry

Email quoted $3,200 for a single implant; the clinic’s website lists $2,650. WhatsApp quoted $6,500 for Invisalign against $4,200–$5,800 according to the clinic’s Instagram. The phone quote of $4,900 sits above the website’s “from $4,200”, so it counts as consistent.

Listed price = what you publish on your website or social profiles.

Personalization55/100
weakest: email inquiry

First name used in the email reply; the stated concern (front tooth, wedding in June) was never referenced again.

Qualification questions40/100
weakest: WhatsApp

One question asked (“have you had an X-ray?”). No timeline, budget or decision questions on any channel.

Follow-up cadence15/100
weakest: email inquiry

No follow-up after the first email reply, and the inquiry form was never picked up. The only follow-up call came from an unlisted number.

Close attempt / next step30/100
weakest: email inquiry

“Feel free to call us to book” — a passive invitation. No specific slot offered, no booking link sent.

Tone & professionalism82/100

Courteous and well-written where responses occurred.

What the shopper found first

Red flag

Callback from a number not on the staff list

Our phone inquiry (Thu 14:20) was returned the following morning from a cell number not on the clinic’s authorized staff list, by a person who introduced themselves as working “with” the clinic and offered to arrange a consultation “directly”. We report what the evidence shows; we make no claim about intent.

Evidence: Call log and number attached in the full report.

Fix → Verify call-forwarding configuration and confirm who holds access to the inquiry line.

Missed revenue

One reply, then silence

After the first email reply nobody followed up in seven days — on a prospect who put her wedding deadline in the first line of her email.

Fix → A day-2 check-in and a day-5 last-chance message, written once, sent every time.

What a best-in-class reply looks like — the standard your competitors are measured against

Treatment coordinator, her own clinic address 12 min after the inquiry

Hi Sophie, Congratulations on the wedding — and yes, we do implants. June is realistic if we start this month. Price: a single implant is $2,650, the price on our website, crown included. If the consultation shows you need anything extra, you’ll have the cost in writing before anything is booked. Timing: a consultation and X-ray first (about 45 minutes). The implant goes in soon after, and a temporary tooth covers the gap until the final crown is fitted — well before June. One question so we can plan properly: is the tooth still in place, or has part of it come away? I’ve attached our implant guide (PDF) — the stages, what’s included and aftercare. Can I call you Thursday between 5 and 7 pm to book the consultation? If another time suits, reply with it and I’ll hold it. If I don’t hear back, I’ll check in on Friday morning.

The difference · 51 points

Same inquiry, same business, same facts.

  • Answered in 12 minutes, not 9h 27m — before she emailed the next clinic on her list.
  • Quoted $2,650, the clinic’s own website price, instead of $3,200.
  • Answered the question behind the question: can it be done before June?
  • Explained what happens next and roughly how long each step takes.
  • Asked one question that moves the booking forward.
  • Attached a guide she can keep and forward.
  • Offered a specific call — Thursday, 5–7 pm — instead of “feel free to call us”.
  • Signed by a named person with a direct line, and a dated check-in if nobody replies.

Reply B is written by us from the facts the business already had — its own published price, its own next step — so the gap is the reply, not the offer. It is the standard, not a named rival: this sample is fictional. In a live audit this panel is built from your own replies, and on SalesWitness Watch Pro the quarterly competitor benchmark shops two real competitors and scores their replies the same way. Follow-up on Reply B is scored on the dated check-in it commits to.

    Empathetic, de-escalating, no admission of fault — marked “review before use”, ready to paste.

Drafted replyReview before use

Hi R., thank you for taking the time to tell us, and I’m sorry you didn’t get the call back you were expecting. That isn’t the experience we want anyone to have. I’d like to understand what happened — please call me directly on (512) 555-0147 and I’ll look into it myself.

When a review breaks the rules · Google

  1. 1Check the review against Google’s “Prohibited and restricted content” policy — e.g. not based on a real experience, a conflict of interest, personal information.
  2. 2Gather the evidence: most often, no matching booking, order or inquiry on your records.
  3. 3Report it: Business Profile → Read reviews → Report, or Google’s Reviews Management Tool. Google says decisions typically take several days.
  4. 4If it’s refused: one appeal through the same tool, with the case ID and the evidence. That decision is final.

SalesWitness Watch: the appeal drafted for you, citing the rule — you file it.SalesWitness Watch Pro: we file the appeal for you.

Platforms remove policy breaches, not bad opinions. We never file a false report, and we never post or solicit reviews — the public reply goes up either way, because it is the part prospects actually read. Every platform we read has its own route; the same checks apply.

06 — The tape: one inquiry, two replies

One inquiry. Two replies.

What the report says“The inquiry was answered from an address not on the authorized staff list, with an offer to transact off-channel (evidence attached).” Evidence-led, defamation-safe — and the kind of leak that costs more than a year of SalesWitness.
