Lists CLEO prepares

Who to reconnect with, and the other lists CLEO keeps ready.

On your Customers screen, under CLEO prepared, sits a short set of lists CLEO keeps ready from what you've actually recorded. They save you building the same query in your head every few weeks — who haven't I seen in a while?

Only a list with somebody on it appears. An empty list isn't shown as an empty link.

The five lists

ListWho is on it
Worth reconnecting withCustomers who came back before, have nothing booked and no active work, and are either past their usual rhythm or have gone quiet
Follow-ups dueFollow-ups you promised that are overdue or due today
Past their usual return intervalCustomers with a measured rhythm who are well past it
Repeated no-shows recordedCustomers with two or more no-shows in the last ninety days
No recent customer interactionCustomers with nothing recorded for twenty-one days

Each opens a filtered view of your customers with the rule stated at the top, and a Show everyone link to drop the filter.

What each rule actually is

CLEO states its own rule on the list, so you never have to trust a label:

  • Past their usual return intervalCustomers with a measured return rhythm (three or more completed visits) who are past it by more than one and a half typical gaps, with nothing booked. The interval and the gap are beside each name — a rule, not a prediction.
  • No recent customer interaction — twenty-one days or more with no request, message, booking or completed visit — with nothing booked and no active work. Customers who have a measured rhythm are read by that rhythm instead, so nobody appears on both. CLEO calls this one Context, not a verdict.
  • Repeated no-shows recorded — two or more no-shows in ninety days, counted from the outcomes you recorded.
  • Worth reconnecting with — the combined list: Customers past their usual return interval first, then repeat customers with no recent interaction. Ordered by how far past they are.
  • Follow-ups dueFollow-ups you promised that are overdue or due today — the earliest first.

Who they cover

Worth knowing, because it surprises people: four of the five are about clients only. The rhythm, quiet-period and no-show lists all read completed visits and recorded outcomes, and they look at active clients.

Follow-ups due is the exception — it covers anyone you promised to get back to, lead or client, as long as they're not archived and the lead hasn't already been closed.

A business that doesn't book appointments will never have anyone on the three visit-based lists. That isn't a fault; there's nothing recorded for the rule to read.

Nothing is sent

Opening a list does nothing. CLEO doesn't email anyone, doesn't create follow-ups, and doesn't mark anyone as handled — Nothing is sent; a follow-up for any of them is one sentence to Ask CLEO.

So the lists are the reading. Acting is still a separate, deliberate step: open a customer and plan a follow-up, or ask CLEO to set several at once and confirm.

Deciding about a whole list

The reconnect and return-interval lists carry one extra thing. If you've recorded a decision about the customers past their usual return interval, it's shown at the top of the list, with a link to what's been recorded since — and a way to record a newer one.

That's the subject of the next article.

When CLEO keeps showing you the same list and you've made up your mind about it, you can say so — Recording a decision.
