Follow-Up Reminders: Never Let a Lead Go Cold

When you capture or update a lead, you can set a follow-up date. MyFBleads tracks all your scheduled follow-ups and shows overdue leads prominently in your dashboard. You see at a glance who needs attention today, this week, and who has gone cold.

Yes. Enable browser notifications to receive alerts when follow-ups are due. You can also see a badge count on the extension icon showing how many leads need attention. The dashboard highlights overdue follow-ups so they are impossible to miss.

Click any lead to open their detail view, then select a follow-up date from the calendar. You can also set follow-ups directly when capturing a new lead. Quick options let you choose tomorrow, in 3 days, next week, or a custom date.

Overdue leads appear at the top of your list with visual indicators. The longer they are overdue, the more prominent the warning. This ensures hot leads that are cooling off get your attention before they go completely cold.

You can plan a follow-up cadence by updating the follow-up date after each contact. For example: initial message, then set follow-up for day 2, then day 4, then day 7. After each contact, update to the next date in your sequence.

Research shows 80% of sales require 5 or more follow-ups, but most salespeople stop after 2. A good baseline: Day 1 (initial), Day 2 (value-add), Day 4 (check-in), Day 7 (different angle), Day 14 (final attempt). Then move to monthly nurture.

Yes. Filter your lead list by: overdue follow-ups, follow-ups due today, follow-ups due this week, or leads with no follow-up set. This helps you plan your outreach time and prioritize effectively.

Studies suggest Tuesday through Thursday, mid-morning or mid-afternoon, have highest response rates for business messages. However, Facebook Messenger is more casual - many people respond evenings and weekends. Test different times with your audience.

Move the lead to a nurture or archive stage in your pipeline. Clear the follow-up date but keep the lead in your system. You can re-engage later with a seasonal message or when you have relevant news. Never delete - circumstances change.

With cloud sync enabled, your follow-up dates sync across all devices where you use MyFBleads. Set a reminder on your laptop, see it on your desktop. This ensures you never miss a follow-up regardless of which device you are using.
