WHAT IT ISFollow-up works when the next step is always visible. In Upward, each lead has a timeline, scheduled activities appear on the CRM Calendar, and email and SMS go out from the record. Vutesa drafts from the person's history so the first message is quick and specific, and you review before sending.

Habits that work

Clear Pending activities daily. Text a short confirmation after a booking. Use Notes and Reminders for things that are not meetings.

  • Confirmation text with Reply STOP included
  • Notes and Reminders with search
  • Bulk email logs one activity per person
