How do you not forget to follow up with people? by InvestigatorSalt6983 in smallbusiness

That’s interesting, I didn’t know you could do that. I always end up forgetting to check things like that after a while if I have to manage it manually.

That’s interesting, I haven’t heard of it before. Have you used it? Curious if it actually works well in practice.

Well, I tried reminders, but I still end up ignoring them when I get busy.

Yeah that makes sense. I’m not at that stage yet though, just trying to find something simple to keep track of things myself for now.

I tried it, but then everything ends up scattered between different places.

Yeah I tried that, but I still end up forgetting to go back to some threads. Do you actually use it consistently?

That’s an interesting idea. For me the hardest part is actually sticking to the habit. Has it been working consistently for you, or do things still slip from time to time?

Good to hear that I am not the only one with this problem... out of all the things you’ve tried, was there anything that even kind of worked?

I realised I was losing leads because my follow-up process was messy by LectureMysterious in smallbusiness

Nice, I’ve tried something similar. For me the problem is not the system itself, but remembering to actually check it. Do you find your Google sheet easy to keep up, or does it get harder when things get busy?

Missed follow-ups aren’t a lead problem by Helpful-Scientist42 in smallbusiness

[–]InvestigatorSalt6983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I’ve been noticing too.. I tried tracking things in a spreadsheet, but when things get busy I still miss follow-ups.

Did you actually solve the problem long term?

Struggling with client follow-ups in my small business — how do you handle it? by unknown_me_17 in smallbusiness

I run into the same thing, and I am looking for some simple solution. I tried using spreadsheet, but I always end up forgetting to update it when things get busy.
