How to connect sales and operation
Connecting sales and operations requires a clear overview of what was sold, who is responsible and what needs to happen first. Start with a faithful record of the agreement and a review between teams. Then monitor pending issues and changes so that execution preserves the context of the negotiation.

What information should come out of the sale?
Record the contracted service, those responsible, negotiated deadlines and conditions that affect the start of work. Include the customer's reported objective and questions that have not yet been resolved. Differentiate a confirmed commitment from an idea discussed during the meeting, as this distinction avoids conflicting expectations.
If there are dependencies on access, materials or approvals, indicate who will request them. The sales team must also present exceptional conditions that have been approved, respecting access to information on each role. A note without context or an inaccessible contract is no substitute for an organized handoff.
How can you check the agreement before the start?
Arrange a short conversation between whoever sold and who will take over the account, especially when the scope is unusual. Confirm what is ready and identify gaps with the person responsible and deadline for clarification. If something cannot be delivered as understood, address the disagreement before promising a date to the customer.
The operation can use a onboarding template for each service to verify the required steps. In Zenit OS, onboarding allows for phases, tasks and subtasks. The manager starts the journey, and access depends on the module and permissions applicable to the agency.
How can you track changes after the transition?
Define who talks to the customer when additional orders arise and who approves sales changes. Record decisions and communicate with those affected, including when a deadline depends on material not yet received. Scope changes shouldn't just be left in personal messages that the rest of the team can't consult.
Periodically review whether essential data remains coherent between sales monitoring and the operating portfolio. The platform brings together sales and customer areas in operation. Confirm in the demo how each role queries the required records. The existence of these areas does not dispense with human inspection.
How can you measure whether the transition is working?
Note how many entries start with missing information, how many questions require clarification from the sales team and how long it takes to clarify pending issues. Review examples with both teams before modifying the process. A reduction in rework needs to be interpreted along with the volume and complexity of sales.
Review the handoff template when the agency launches a service or changes the way it serves. Schedule a demo with a recent closing and onboarding steps to evaluate how available resources can support your routine.
Frequently asked questions
Who is responsible for the handoff?
The agency must appoint one person in sales and another in the operation to check the data and address gaps.
Is the contract enough to guide the team?
It is an important reference, but those responsible, dependencies and doubts also need to be accessible to those who execute it.
Can the operation adapt onboarding?
There are templates with phases, tasks and subtasks; confirm proper access and configuration for the service.
How can you treat an unconfirmed promise?
Clarify with salespeople and the customer what was actually agreed before starting a delivery based on the hypothesis.
