Click to Contract Checklist: Convert Interest Into Signed Contracts

After digging into the Builder 100 analysis we found some incredible data. For example, 57% of builders are already ECI customers. Even more, 90 percent of those customers use at least one Sales Suite product. And 31% use two or more Sales Suite products. Those numbers show some serious momentum. Builders are moving toward connected workflows. Now it’s up to you to can use that momentum to close more deals! 

The “Click to Contract” checklist 

1. Inventory visibility and accuracy 

• Show live lot availability on your website and on sales tablets 
• Sync LotVue or your inventory source with web listings every hour or in near real time 
• Expose sold, held, and available status so buyers stop asking basic questions 
• Why it matters: Buyers want answers. If they cannot find the right lot quickly, they go elsewhere 

2. Instant appointment booking tied to inventory 

• Let buyers book a specific appointment for a specific lot online 
• Capture pre-visit intent data, such as lots viewed, and models favorited 
• Send immediate confirmation to the buyer and a calendar invite to OSC 
• Why it matters: Appointments become commitment signals when they include context and expectations 

3. Fast lead routing with clear SLAs 

• Route new leads to the right OSC or BDR automatically based on geography and lot interest 
• Set a response SLA of under 15 minutes for high-intent leads 
• Use automated workflows to escalate if not claimed 
• Why it matters: Speed equals trust. Fast responses turn curiosity into conversation 

4. Unified CRM record for buyer activity 

• Ensure Lasso CRM or your CRM records the full interaction history 
• Persist lot clicks, map interactions, appointment times, and chat transcripts 
• Use that record to personalize the first contact 
• Why it matters: Sales teams need context to have better conversations 

5. Design selections that flow to ops and costing 

• Capture selections in a single canonical record that flows to operations 
• Attach photos, SKU references, and versioned timestamps 
• Connect selections to job costing so finance sees the impact before closing 
• Why it matters: Fewer errors, fewer change orders, better margin protection 

6. Integrated digital tour and demo content 

• Link Insearch virtual tours or model walkthroughs from the lot detail page 
• Make demos shareable in follow-up emails 
• Why it matters: Buyers who can visualize the home convert faster 

7. Social proof and reputation nudges at the right moment 

• Surface buyer reviews in the booking confirmation and on lot pages 
• Use AvidCX data to highlight recent great experiences 
• Why it matters: Trust is contagious. Positive experiences shorten the decision process 

8. Measurement and attribution ready 

• Standardize UTM naming for campaigns. Example campaign value: utm_campaign=click_to_contract_q3 
• Track page events: lot_view, appointment_book, demo_watch, audit_submit 
• Report on funnel metrics from session to contract 
• Why it matters: You cannot improve what you do not measure. 

9. The external sales process audit  

• The external sales process audit finds the places where buyers are getting stuck or walking away 
• Get a second set of eyes to map out the response times and the selection gaps that cost you money 
• Why it matters: You get a clear roadmap and a one-page executive brief that tells you exactly what to fix first 

10. Audience hygiene and guardrails 

• Exclude current customers from paid prospecting lists 
• Cap frequency to avoid ad fatigue 
• Why it matters: Clean audiences reduce wasted spend and protect customer relationships
