Diagnose Why Your Sales Dropped and Fix It Fast.

/troubleshoot-falling-sales

Sales is three factors multiplied together, which is why a rise in one can hide a bigger fall in another. This skill computes the product instead of eyeballing it.

How to run the skill. Three steps, under three minutes.

  1. Step 01

    Upload the skill file once

    Download it above, then add it to Claude under Customize, then Skills. It becomes /troubleshoot-falling-sales in every chat after that.

    Where it goes
    Claude Desktop or web
    Customize › Skills › Add › Upload a skill
    Claude Code
    Unzip into ~/.claude/skills/
  2. Step 02

    Add the AdLabs connector

    AdLabs is in the Claude connector directory. Open Customize, then Connectors, search AdLabs and click Connect. Sign in with your AdLabs account and set Read-only Tools to Always Allow so the data reads do not stop for approval. The optional change-log lookup asks each time unless you allow it. The skill never writes. No connector? Paste or attach two equal periods of sales, clicks, impressions and orders from any PPC tool.

    In Claude

    Customize › Connectors › Discover › AdLabs › Connect

    Before the first run
    • AdLabs connector added and signed in
    • Read-only tools set to Always Allow
    • Two comparable periods of the same length
    • No connector? Paste two periods from any tool
  3. Step 03

    Say this

    Give it the symptom and the window. It pulls both periods from AdLabs and rules out the calendar and the reporting lag before it looks for anything broken.

    My ad sales dropped 22% over the last two weeks. Why?

    Claude, using the skill
    1. Ruled out the settlement lag and the calendar
    2. Set equal 14-day windows either side
    3. Sorted by absolute change in sales
    4. ΔSales = ΔClicks × ΔCVR: clicks fell, CVR held
    5. ΔClicks = ΔImpressions × ΔCTR: a reach problem

    Diagnosis: reach fell on the top-of-search placement

    Then, in the same chat
The output

What you get back. Your Next Steps to Get Sales Back on Track.

A diagnosis, not a dashboard. Sales decomposed into clicks and conversion, clicks into reach and clickability, the calendar and the lag ruled out first, and the fixes ranked by how much of the loss each recovers.

  • The product it decomposed
  • Reach or clickability, separated
  • Calendar and lag ruled out first
  • Fixes ranked by loss recovered
