Buttons in Action

Now we will learn the purpose of the buttons and how they function. There are 6 buttons arranged into two columns. We have explained them separately along with their subsequent operations and performance.

Left Message: It will stamp a note stating that you have tried to call the person and left a message via voicemail, etc. The system will automatically remind you to follow up with your contact within the next 3 (three) days and will send a notification email to the customer/prospect. You will also have the option to choose a follow up date.

Bad Time: It will add a note stating that it was not an ideal time to speak to him and will send the customer / prospect an email notifying them of the same. You may be redirected to the Action List page depending on the action you have taken. You can choose other options as required by clicking on the arrow next to that button.

  1. Interested: Stamps a note stating that you have called the person and that he has shown interest in your business.
  2. Not Ready: Stamps a note stating that you have called the person and that he is not ready to follow your business ideas.
  3. Wrong Number: Stamps a note stating that you have dialed a wrong number, i.e. the number does not belong to the contact.
  4. No Answer: Stamps a note stating that you have called the person and he/she did not answer the call.

No Contact: Clicking on this button will automatically set the contact’s priority to 10 and set the next follow up date to Never. However, it will still leave him in any email series you have included him in for the purpose of dripping on.

Update: This button triggers the system and says that some modification has been made to the contact’s details and that the data needs to be saved. In this context, we have used the button to save a note for a contact.

In addition to updating a note, you can opt to navigate to either the Action List or the All Contacts page after the action has taken place. Instead of clicking on Update , click on the down arrow next to it and choose your path.

Send Email: It will send a custom email to the prospect right away via our mail servers . A note will be added into the list regarding your action upon transmission of the email. Here’s what you need to do to send a custom email:

  1. Click on the button labeled as Custom Email to bring up a blank email template.
  2. A floating window will pop up where you can type in the content of the email as desired.
  3. Once done, click on the Send button below to send the email to the receiver.

Furthermore, you can navigate to the Action Subscription or Quick Send Emails, which are the edit sections of the existing subscription emails associated with this contact. You will be able to modify the content of the pre-set emails related to the other buttons in this context.

Delete: As the name suggests, this button is used to remove the contact from the system permanently. Make sure you really want to delete the contact by acknowledging the system’s verification message. Click Cancel to return.
