1. Leads & follow-up

New leads wait more than 5 minutes for a first reply
Follow-up depends on someone remembering to do it
Leads get one reply, then go silent (no 2nd–5th touch)
No consistent qualifying questions before a call is booked
You discover dropped leads days or weeks later
After-hours and weekend inquiries go unanswered

2. Inbox & communication

Important emails get buried and answered late
The first hour of the day is spent just triaging the inbox
The same routine replies get written by hand again and again
Messages get missed when the team is heads-down on delivery
No clear system for urgent vs. later vs. ignore

3. CRM & records

The CRM is always a few days out of date
Call notes and next steps get logged inconsistently (or not at all)
Deal stages don't reflect what's actually happening
Reps spend selling hours on data entry
Reporting means manually copying numbers between tools

4. Scheduling & coordination

Booking and rescheduling is a back-and-forth email/phone game
No-shows happen because reminders are manual or skipped
Confirmations and prep info aren't sent automatically
Internal handoffs between people drop the ball

5. Documents & admin

You chase clients for the same documents repeatedly
Invoices, quotes, or proposals are followed up by hand
Repetitive document creation eats hours each week
Onboarding a new client is a manual checklist someone runs

6. Reporting & visibility

You don't get a clear daily picture of what happened
Status updates to clients are written manually
You only notice problems after they've cost you
Key metrics live in your head, not in a report
Weekly/monthly reports take hours to assemble
No single place shows the state of all open work

Your score

0–6 ticked: You're fairly tight — automate the few that hurt most.
7–15 ticked: Typical growing service business. One AI operations employee would buy back serious hours.
16+ ticked: Admin is capping your growth. This is exactly what Orynval is built to fix.
