Don’t let sales opportunities fall through the cracks! Automate It with the Act! Activity Series
It’s easy to have great intentions, but they aren’t very great if we forget to follow-up!
So whatever happened to that prospect who requested more information?
Did the “thank you for your business” note get written?
When was that call supposed to be made after the proposal was sent?
The Activity Series in Act! is a tremendous tool to help remind you of follow-up tasks for common events such as:
- General Inquiries
- Newsletter sign-up
- Proposals
- Post-purchase
You can set up a separate activity series for each event when you want to be sure the same follow-up ALWAYS happens. Let’s say these are the 4 activities you want to occur EVERY time you close a deal.
1. Thank you for your business note a week after
2. Phone call a month later, do you have a satisfied customer?
3. Email 6 months later with tips, resource ideas, helpful hints
4. One-year anniversary card, thank you for your business, include new products, resources, ideas
