Reschedule requested.
The customer asks to move an appointment to a different day or time rather than canceling it outright.
"Something came up at work. Can we do Sunday instead?"
What it sounds like. Synthetic example.Why it matters
A reschedule is a live customer telling you they still intend to come, which makes it one of the better calls of the day and one of the most casually handled. The danger is the reply of just let me know when works, because the appointment leaves the board and nobody owns the next move. Reschedules that end without a new time are how confirmed business turns into a name nobody follows up on.
What to do next
Thank them, then treat the call as a fresh set: offer two specific new times immediately, confirm the vehicle is still available for that day, update the CRM before you hang up and send the new confirmation right away. If they genuinely cannot pick a time, agree on a day to talk again and put that in writing too.
How to coach it
Role play this as a miniature appointment call, because it is one. The failure is almost always accepting later this week. Have the rep practice the transition from the apology into two new times, and check whether the CRM entry was actually moved rather than left to expire.

Questions about this signal
Is a reschedule a lost appointment?
Not if a new time is set in the same conversation. It becomes a loss when the call ends with the customer promising to call back.
How many reschedules are too many?
Rather than counting them, listen to them. Repeated moves from the same customer usually point at a constraint nobody asked about, such as a spouse or a work shift.
Should the original appointment stay on the board?
No. Move it to the new time so the day reflects reality, and confirm the new one the day before like any other.
