FollowUp Power helps us make sure that no potential client "falls through the cracks"!

Pros

  • It allows us to put notes/comments in as they occur so that there is a complete "log" of information for each project.
  • It reminds us of who we should be contacting each day.
  • It gives us a daily overall picture of how many leads we are currently managing.

Cons

  • It really needs to have the capability of listing numerous phone #s with a note beside each one ("his cell#", "her work#", "do not call before 9a.m.", etc.).
  • It really needs to have the capability of listing numerous e-mail addresses ("hers", "his", "her email address at work", etc.).
  • It would be nice to have a separate general information box where we could put comments in that would show every time we bring up the account (such as "her nickname is Bobbi", "their dogs name is Fido, "their son is currently stationed in France", "husband is going through chemotherapy", etc.), which would help us to remember personal details that are important to our clients.

Return on Investment

  • The best thing about FollowUp Power is that we can look at the entire history of our contact with a particular client with ease.
  • The owners of our company are able to pull relevant reports (for example, showing which particular neighborhoods we are getting the most business from, which advertising sources are working, how many leads each designer is currently working on, etc.).

Predict the future

Pros

  • We love the dashboard feature. This is where we spend the majority of our time. The dashboard helps us avoid missing bid dates and deadlines.
  • The system is very intuitive and a new user will be up to speed within one hour after they start using the system. There is only one place to enter all data. This allows for ease of use and minimizes data entry mistakes.
  • Every task is date stamped to insure proper work flow and holds the team accountable to each other.

Cons

  • We are excited to see the new mobile APP. We understand it's currently being developed and expected to be out very soon.

Return on Investment

  • Follow Up has helped us increase our closing ratio from 10% to 36% of all project bid
