Who this is for

  • Sales managers

  • Studio managers

  • Owners overseeing conversion


Why this matters

Most leads don’t say “no.”
They say nothing.

Follow-up exists to remove friction, not apply pressure.


How to do this in Pipeline

Step 1: Use Tasks as Reminders

Every open lead should have:

  • A next follow-up task

  • A clear due date


Step 2: Mix Channels Thoughtfully

  • Text for speed

  • Calls for connection

  • Email for confirmation

Pipeline keeps it all visible in one place.


Step 3: Know When to Pause

After multiple attempts:

  • Log the outcome

  • Stop guessing

  • Move on intentionally


What “good” looks like

  • Clear next steps

  • No forgotten leads

  • Clean pipeline


Common mistakes to avoid

  • Over-following up without logging

  • Relying on memory

  • Letting “maybes” linger forever
