Understanding Dispositions (Connected, Not Connected, Create Order)

Purpose: For Inbound Sales & Follow-Up Teams


1. Purpose of This Module

This SOP explains what dispositions are, why they are critical, and how Sales teams must correctly select dispositions after every call.

Correct dispositioning helps Cashkr:

✔ Track real lead quality
✔ Measure sales performance accurately
✔ Improve follow-up efficiency
✔ Reduce data confusion
✔ Increase lead → order conversion

Golden Rule:
Every call must end with ONE correct disposition. No exceptions.


2. What Is a Disposition?

A Disposition is the final status of a sales call that explains what happened with the lead.

Dispositions answer:

  • Did we connect?

  • What did the customer say?

  • What should happen next?

Dispositions drive:

  • Follow-ups

  • Callbacks

  • Reporting

  • Sales KPIs

  • CX handoffs


3. Primary Disposition Categories

Cashkr uses three main dispositions:

  1. Connected

  2. Not Connected

  3. Create Order

Each has clear meaning and rules.


4. Disposition: CONNECTED

Meaning

You spoke to the customer successfully.


When to Select CONNECTED

  • Customer picked the call

  • Conversation happened (even if short)


Connected – Sub-Options

After selecting Connected, you MUST choose one of the following:

A. Customer Will Place Order

  • Customer agrees to sell

  • Wants to place order themselves

  • Needs no further assistance

Example:

“I’ll place it in the evening.”


B. Callback

  • Customer asked to be called later

  • Gave a specific time

Rule:
Callback time must be written clearly.


C. Waiting for Quote

  • Customer wants to compare prices

  • Needs time to check another platform


D. Already Placed an Order

  • Customer confirms order already created

  • Verify order ID if possible


E. Technical Issue

  • Model not listed

  • App/website error

  • Price not loading

CX/Tech escalation required.


Mandatory Rule for CONNECTED

✔ Add call notes
✔ Select correct sub-option
✔ Never leave Connected without explanation


5. Disposition: NOT CONNECTED

Meaning

You did not speak to the customer.


When to Select NOT CONNECTED

  • Phone switched off

  • Not reachable

  • No answer

  • Call disconnected

“Switched Off” and “Not Reachable” are merged under this category.


Rules for NOT CONNECTED

  • Try at least 3 attempts at different times

  • Add call attempt note

  • Retry later the same day or next day


Example Notes

  • “Switched off – will retry at 6 PM”

  • “No answer – 2nd attempt”


6. Disposition: CREATE ORDER

Meaning

Customer is ready to sell NOW and needs assistance.


When to Select CREATE ORDER

  • Customer confirms intent

  • Customer agrees on price

  • Customer wants help placing order


What Sales Must Do Next

  1. Create order via Admin Panel
    OR

  2. Guide customer step-by-step to place order


Important Rule

❌ Never mark Create Order unless order is actually created.

Once order is created:

  • Lead is converted

  • Order ID is generated

  • Ops team takes over


7. Correct Disposition Selection – Examples

Customer Response

Correct Disposition

“Call me at 7 PM”

Connected → Callback

“I will place it myself”

Connected → Customer Will Place Order

“Price is low, checking others”

Connected → Waiting for Quote

“Help me place the order”

Create Order

Phone not reachable

Not Connected

“Already placed order”

Connected → Already Placed an Order


8. Common Mistakes to Avoid

🚫 Marking Connected without speaking
🚫 Using Create Order before order creation
🚫 Missing callback notes
🚫 Wrong disposition just to close lead
🚫 Leaving disposition blank


9. Why Dispositions Matter (Management View)

Dispositions help management track:

  • Real contact rate

  • Follow-up efficiency

  • Sales productivity

  • Lead quality

  • Conversion bottlenecks

Wrong dispositions = wrong decisions.


10. Sales KPIs Linked to Dispositions

  • Connected %

  • Not Connected %

  • Create Order %

  • Callback success rate

  • Lead → Order conversion rate


11. One-Page Quick Summary (Training Card)

Three Main Dispositions

  • Connected → You spoke

  • Not Connected → You didn’t speak

  • Create Order → Order created now

Rules

✔ One call = one disposition
✔ Notes are mandatory
✔ Create Order only after order creation

Goal

Clear data → Better follow-ups → Higher conversions
