Do you use spreadsheets to manage your sales leads? Here’s why they don’t work and how automation can help you streamline your lead management process.

If you use spreadsheets to manage your sales leads, they may work for the current volume of leads you have but they’re probably not the best long-term solution to support your business growth. This blog post explores why spreadsheets could cause you problems and how an automated system could help you:

  • Improve efficiency
  • Eliminate human error
  • Make room for growth

Written by Lauren Shaw

The problem with spreadsheets

Let’s face it – spreadsheets CAN’T handle 100,000s of leads:

❌ It’s time consuming

❌ It’s difficult to manage so many leads manually

❌ There’s a risk of human error

❌ They break

❌ They’re not automated

 

🤫 Luckily there’s a simple way to AUTOMATE your lead management process…

 

FLG’s automated workflows

👉 Here’s how we use FLG to manage our leads & onboard customers in five simple steps:

1️⃣ All new leads are allocated to a user on a round robin basis

2️⃣ The user is tasked to call the lead & carry out a fact find – all of the data they collect is saved against the lead record

3️⃣ The user schedules a demo – a task is set, their calendar is updated and a confirmation email is sent to the lead

4️⃣ Our ‘Free Trial’ workflow sends the lead information on how to get started and sets up follow-up tasks for the user

5️⃣ Our ‘New Customer’ workflow sends onboarding information to the customer and the user is tasked with some account management calls.
