Short answer
Service users, budget approvers and those formalising acceptance may be different people. Record roles and confirmed evidence rather than inferring authority from title or email. A positive demo establishes neither approved budget nor authorised signature; make outstanding confirmations explicit.
Key verification: Every pending confirmation has an identified participant, a specific question and evidence required for closure.
Sources and limitationsA contact requests a demonstration and likes the tool. The seller marks the deal contract-ready although another person controls the budget. This guide proposes a decision map to prevent that leap. The case is not an actual sale and identifying roles does not guarantee faster closure.
Confirmed functions rather than assumed titles
Ask who evaluates use, authorises spending and formalises acceptance. One person may hold several roles and several may share one. Record the answer, source and confirmation status. Avoid assuming every director may sign any amount: applicable authority needs checking for the particular transaction.
Fictional proposal map
| Participant | Reported function | Outstanding confirmation |
|---|---|---|
| Ana | Will use the service | Use-acceptance criteria |
| Bruno | Reviews budget | Amount and scope approval |
| Carla | Processes the contract | Acceptance process and authority |
Ana likes the demonstration, but Bruno still reviews cost and Carla has not confirmed the process. The reproducible status is positive evaluation with two confirmations outstanding, not an accepted sale. When scope or price changes, check which approvals remain valid for that version.
Maintain participants in noCRM
noCRM documents multiple contacts within a lead; check feature requirements. Record the map in your available configuration without assuming native authority fields or a company object. Linked contacts do not themselves constitute approval.
Prepare the next conversation
For each outstanding item, write a specific question and the evidence allowing a status change. Confirm the appropriate participant with your contact rather than bypassing them or inventing another person’s commitment. Retain the relevant proposal version. CallsIQ has not tested this configuration: this original procedure can also use a worksheet for a few opportunities.
