Businesses lose up to 80% of potential sales due to slow or missed follow-ups (Harvard Business Review, 2024). Automating lead tracking and reminders ensures you never let a hot prospect slip away.

By setting up a simple workflow that logs new leads in Google Sheets and schedules personalized follow-up reminders in your calendar, you can capture every opportunity. Flow Genius specializes in building these automations, saving you time and increasing your close rate.

The Challenge

Many business owners juggle multiple leads but struggle to track who needs a follow-up. Relying on memory or manual notes leads to missed opportunities and lost revenue. According to Salesforce, 63% of businesses say their sales teams waste time on manual data entry instead of selling. Without a reliable system, promising leads go cold, and your sales pipeline dries up.

The Solution

Automate your lead management with a workflow that instantly adds new leads to a central Google Sheet and creates follow-up reminders in your calendar. This approach ensures every inquiry is tracked, and you receive timely prompts to reach out—no more forgotten prospects.

Implementation Steps

1. Connect your lead capture source (website form, CRM, or email) to Google Sheets using a workflow automation tool. 2. Set up the automation to add each new lead’s details (name, contact info, inquiry date) as a new row in your Google Sheet. 3. Configure the workflow to automatically create a calendar event or reminder for a personalized follow-up, using the lead’s name and preferred contact time. 4. Customize reminder intervals (e.g., 24 hours, 3 days, 1 week) to match your sales process. 5. Monitor your Google Sheet for real-time updates and track follow-up status, ensuring no lead is left behind.
