The Problem

80% of sales require at least five follow-ups, yet 44% of sales reps give up after just one. In UK B2B sales, the average sales cycle is 84 days — and most leads go cold simply because no one followed up at the right time. Manual follow-up tracking in spreadsheets or memory is unreliable and unscalable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Won't automated follow-ups feel spammy to prospects?

Not when done properly. Each message is personalised with the prospect's name, company, and specific context from your conversations. Sequences include sensible delays (3-5 days between touches), and replies automatically pause the sequence so you never send a follow-up to someone who's already responded.

Can sequences adapt based on how the prospect engages?

Yes. The system uses branching logic — if a prospect opens an email but doesn't reply, they get a different next step than someone who clicked a link. High-engagement prospects can be fast-tracked to a call, while low-engagement leads receive nurture content instead.
