Follow Up Boss is a real estate CRM (Customer Relationship Management) platform that takes all your online leads, puts them in one simple system and makes sure they get followed up super fast. It does this 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so that you can provide superior customer service, turn more of your leads into appointments and close more transactions.

How does Follow Up Boss help me close more transactions?

The internet means that you are receiving more leads than ever before, through many different lead providers. To respond, you have to keep logging into different systems to manage leads by email. The end result is you don’t give every lead proper attention and you don’t make the money you should be making from your marketing dollars.

Ignored leads mean you are letting deals slip right through your fingers. You may have tried to band aid this problem by hiring an assistant or paying for a complicated tool that no one on your team actually uses.

Once you start using Follow Up Boss you will no longer need to worry if your leads are being taken care of. Leads will be responded to faster than ever before. You will know precisely which marketing dollars are paying off. You will be able to identify key leverage points in your business that will enable you to grow profits and provide better customer service.

How does Follow Up Boss work? What does it do?

Follow Up Boss is an automated system that doesn’t rely on manual data entry. It allows you to send in leads from your existing marketing and websites via email. You can still enter a lead manually if they call in.

Our user-friendly CRM then distributes leads via an instant phone call or email.

The end result is your leads are contacted much faster and more often. Agents and marketing dollars are held accountable for producing results.

We are 100% focused on providing the best possible real estate CRM follow up system, because it is the most important part of the lead conversion process.

We are a big advocate of using the best possible systems for each part of your business, not using one system that claims to “do it all”.

Can I reassign a lead to a new agent?

Yes absolutely, you can reassign leads to new agents. This is useful if an agent wants to pass a lead to someone else or if you have a lead coordinator screening your leads upfront then assigning out to agents.

Assigning a lead to a new agent is just 3 easy clicks in Follow Up Boss. Once you do that the new agent will receive an email with the leads details and all the history with the lead up until that point automatically.
