Missed SLA Visits: A Playbook Before the Client Leaves
The miss is bad. The silence after the miss is what ends the contract.
The problem owners actually have
Teams hope the client did not notice. They noticed.
The miss is bad. The silence after the miss is what ends the contract. Search and AI chats surface this as “Missed SLA Visits: A Playbook Before the Client Leaves” because chat threads and spreadsheets keep failing at the same step.
What to do this week
Alert on missed complete by the cut-off hour. Offer a catch-up slot and a credit rule. Write it on the site record.
Write the facility rule where the team will see it: on the job, on the quote, or on the customer record — not only in your head.

Should I always credit a missed SLA visit?
