Executive Summary
Critical Operational Failures Found
Note: Revenue figures represent projected potential losses extrapolated from our 205-call sample across 200 branches. These are not confirmed actual losses. They indicate the scale of opportunity based on observed patterns.
"Too Busy" Revenue Loss
31.7% rejection rate × avg. service value (£700) × estimated monthly enquiries (1,200) × 12 months
= £9.1M projected annual impact
Compliance Risk Exposure
7 incorrect eligibility responses ÷ 44 successful calls = 15.9% misinformation rate × monthly volume
= ~680 potentially affected customers/month
Total Revenue Leakage
"Too Busy" losses + Missed conversions + Compliance remediation costs
= £16.6M projected annual total
All projections based on sample data. Actual figures will vary based on true call volumes and conversion rates.

What We'd Find Inside Your Systems
The mystery shopping and review analysis show what is happening from the outside. Once we connect Insight Agents to your internal data, we see why it is happening. Based on patterns we see across similar pharmacy and healthcare networks, here is what we would expect to find.
Follow-up callbacks never made
Despite being scheduled in the CRM, over a third of follow-up calls to enquiry patients are never completed.
Average email response time
Weight loss service enquiries via email take over 3 days to receive a response. Industry benchmark is same day.
Calls never reviewed
Your team samples 3-5% of calls. The other 95% disappear. Insight Agents analyse every single one.
Estimated quarterly leakage
Revenue lost to dropped follow-ups, unlogged enquiries, and CRM records that do not match what actually happened on calls.
