🎯 Objective:
To recover cancelled orders by identifying the reason, addressing concerns, and encouraging the customer to reschedule the pickup.
🧑💼 Responsible:
Sales/Support/Calling Team
🪜 Step-by-Step Talk Track
✅ Step 1: Call the Customer Within 12–24 Hours of Cancellation
“Hi [Customer Name], this is [Your Name] from Cashkr. I noticed you cancelled your pickup for [Device Name] — just wanted to check if everything’s okay or if we can help in any way?”
✅ Step 2: Understand the Reason for Cancellation
Ask politely:
“Was there any issue with timing, price, or something else?”
✅ Step 3: Respond Based on the Scenario
|
Reason |
What to Say |
|---|---|
|
Price too low |
“Got it. If you’ve received a higher quote elsewhere, feel free to share and we’ll try to match it.” |
|
Change of mind |
“Totally okay — if you change your mind, you can rebook anytime. We’ll be happy to help.” |
|
Vendor didn’t show up |
“Sorry about that. We can assign a different vendor and ensure timely pickup this time.” |
|
Want to delay |
“Would you like me to reschedule for another day or time that’s more convenient for you?” |
✅ Step 4: Offer Rebooking Support
If customer shows interest:
“I can help you rebook the pickup now — just tell me your preferred time.”
Or guide them to rebook:
“You can easily reschedule through our website or app in under a minute.”
✅ Step 5: Mark Disposition in CRM
Update lead status in your CRM/disposition tool:
-
Disposition 1: Connected
-
Disposition 2: Cancelled Follow-up
-
Add remarks: “Price concern / Delay / Rescheduled to tomorrow” etc.
🧠 Best Practices
-
Be empathetic, not pushy
-
Always give customer the option to reschedule or cancel freely
-
Offer resolution for operational failures (e.g., vendor no-show)
-
If user refuses, mark lead as Cancelled – No Interest to avoid spamming
