🪜 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
