Dan Kennedy, author of a well known book "No B.S. Direct Marketing" describes a business as a bucket where the entrepreneurs pour their ideas, energy and money with a hope of making profits and subsequently wealth.

In his book the author views a few things as holes in the bucket and through these holes hardwork, money and time are lost once you them into the bucket. The holes in the bucket include the following.

  • Failure to get the complete contact information.
  • Delaying to follow-up with new leads.
  • Not taking adequate steps to rescue lost customers.
  • Failure to make plans to follow up with referrals.
  • No instant follow up with new customers.

Therefore to avoid such failures, you need to set up timely follow up.

Apptivo Customers App allows you to provide access to the users who are reputed to schedule the followup to a Customer. The users who have privilege for scheduling a follow up,  can use “Schedule Follow Up” option found in overview page of a Customer.
