Manual follow-up types are those follow ups which will need to be opened by the staff whenever required and will reflect on the Dashboard of the staff as per the date selected manually. This type of Follow-up will give you a convenient classification which in turn will allow the representative to know the type of follow ups they need to open as required. This will help to increase the effectiveness and clarity to the sales representatives and also will provide clarity to the owners while viewing the follow-up report. e.g. Notes, Escalation, Balance

e.g. Let say if a client is asking to the staff to remind her/him about the Classes availability on a specific day or praising a staff or escalating about anyone / thing at the centre, then this feature can be created in the software through the Manual Follow-up by having the Notes/Escalation/Appreciation types configured and the comments can be added in the followup. You can either update the comment and close the followup or keep it open till the date selected as required.


Similarly, you can also have Automated Follow-up configured which will be automatically opened based on the set criteria at the time of configuration.
