Follow up with leads

When you get a new lead or a new prospect it is of utmost importance that you provide the proper follow-up to prevent it from getting out of your hands and turn it into a real sales opportunity, but sometimes between so many day-to-day tasks it is almost impossible to provide adequate attention to each of them; automating your follow-up allows you to strengthen the relationship of trust with your customer but without effort.

IMPORTANT: Do not neglect human contact, even if they are automated actions your customers or prospects should not feel that they are talking to a robot, remember, people, buy from people. The only way to achieve this is to offer them content that is directly related to your customer's needs, always with friendly and simple language.

When NOT to automate

Poor implementation

There is nothing more disappointing for a prospect than opening an email and reading "Hello Name" when this happens to you be sure that at that moment you lost your prospect. This small mistake may have occurred by a "not paying attention to what we send" at the time of automating the email or by a failure in the label; however, this small error can cause our prospect to disenchant us, mark you as spam, or simply not open the following emails.

Generalized message

There are communications that although they do not have any technical error, you can see at a glance that it is a previously programmed response, this happens when the message is very generalized and is not directed to a specific audience, your prospect wants to feel that you are talking to him and not to one more prospect.

Everything but NOT everything
