A potential customer is a person or company that has shown interest in your products or services and could become an actual customer. While they haven’t made a purchase yet, their interest indicates they might do so in the future.



GES-PET TIPS AND TRICKS

Why is managing your potential customers so important?

Every person interested in your services represents a great opportunity. Managing your potential customers strategically allows you to guide each one along the path to becoming an actual customer. This is key to increasing conversions and boosting revenue!

With effective lead management, you can better understand their interests, provide accurate and personalized responses, and offer the value they’re looking for. By actively following up, you turn initial interest into trust and loyalty toward your brand. This doesn’t just increase sales—it also optimizes your resources by focusing on those who are genuinely interested.

In summary: effectively managing potential customers isn’t just a sales technique—it’s the foundation for turning opportunities into satisfied and loyal customers!



Using a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) tool to manage potential customers is a game-changing strategy that simplifies the organization, tracking, and conversion of leads or opportunities into actual customers.

Some of the key benefits include:

  • Centralizing information in one place: This allows you to store all relevant data about your potential customers—contact details, interaction history, preferences, and specific notes—making it easily accessible to your entire team.

  • Detailed records of contacts and communications: You can log every interaction, whether it’s a phone call, email, or meeting, ensuring nothing is overlooked. This historical record is crucial for personalized follow-ups and remembering past conversations.

  • Clear action timelines: By having a timeline that shows all interactions and activities, you can easily see where each potential customer is in the sales process. This helps prioritize actions based on their level of interest and progress in the sales cycle.

  • Tracking opportunities and increasing conversions: With a CRM, you can set reminders and alerts to follow up with potential customers at the right time. This increases the effectiveness of converting leads by allowing proactive and timely action.


Potential customers are individuals or businesses that have shown interest in your products or services but aren’t actual customers yet—they’re just interested.

You can convert them into actual customers, and:

  • In the option View > Potential Customers > they’ll appear marked as "converted to customer."

  • They’ll now appear under View > Customers because they’ve become actual customers.

GES-PET TIPS AND TRICKS

Did you know?

Keeping track of a potential customer’s interests when they reach out is a powerful tool to personalize communication and increase your chances of converting them into a customer.

By understanding their needs, preferences, or specific concerns, you can provide more relevant and accurate information tailored to what they’re actually looking for. This not only shows that you understand their interests but also builds trust by demonstrating your commitment to offering personalized solutions.

This strategic approach can make all the difference in capturing their attention, standing out from the competition, and guiding them toward choosing your products or services.


In their profile, you can save information about their interests, such as whether they’re inquiring about training course prices, looking to buy a puppy, or asking about summer accommodation rates at the pet hotel.


pet CRM

Later, you can send them specific information about those interests, updates, etc.
This information is private to your business and won’t be visible to the customer.

Whenever you send an email directly from the software, it will automatically be logged in this section. For other contact methods, automatic logging isn’t possible, but you can manually log them with ease.

In their profile, under right menu > Contacts, you can view previously logged interactions and add new ones by clicking the button in the upper right corner.

For example, you’ve received a call from a potential customer, and you want to log it:

  • You can select the date and time. By default, it will show the current date and time.

  • Choose the contact method—in this case: Call.

  • The type of contact could be:

    • Sent: if you initiated the email, message, or call.

    • Received: if the customer sent the email, message, or call and you received it.

    In our example, the type is: Received.

  • Add details about the call, for example: "They want information about the pricing for basic and advanced training courses. I told them I would send the details via email."

  • Finally, you can assign a status to the interaction. The options are:

    • Pending: If the action hasn’t been completed yet. For example, they called but you couldn’t attend to them, so you plan to call them back.

    • In Progress: If you’re currently addressing their request. For instance, you’re preparing to send the information they asked for.

    • Completed: If the action has been finished. For example, they called to ask about your hours, and you provided the information.

    You can decide which status to assign to each contact based on the situation.

Logging contacts or communications with potential customers is essential for effectively and strategically managing the relationship.

This log provides a complete history of interactions, helping you better understand their needs and follow up on their inquiries in a personalized way. It also helps identify what stage of the decision-making process they’re in, allowing you to send the right information at the right time.

Having this history also prevents duplicate efforts or communication errors, projecting a professional and organized image that builds customer trust and increases the chances of closing a sale.

This option allows us to view all communication activities, organized chronologically by date.

For example, when a potential customer was created, all the contacts we’ve logged (calls, messages, emails, etc.), and when they were converted into a real customer.

GES-PET TIPS AND TRICKS

About the timeline:

Reviewing the timeline of contacts or communications with a potential customer is a crucial tool for delivering more efficient and personalized service.

This history helps us recall key details from previous interactions, such as their interests, questions, or concerns, and pick up the conversation exactly where it was left off, without requiring the customer to repeat themselves.

Additionally, it aids in planning the next steps, such as sending proposals, following up, or addressing concerns, in a timely and strategic manner.

Having access to this timeline not only enhances the customer experience but also streamlines our sales process, increasing the likelihood of converting a potential customer into a loyal one.


Gespet automatically compiles this timeline using logged contacts and generates this chronological view. If you want to add a new contact, simply do so under the Right Menu > Contacts option, and it will automatically appear in the Timeline view.






As you know, you can schedule automatic reminders so the software will automatically send a reminder to the customer before their booking.
You can set up multiple reminders and choose when you’d like them to be sent— for example, 5 days, 3 days, and 1 day before the booking. When those dates arrive, the reminders will be sent automatically, and you don’t have to do a thing.


Each module has an option to view all the automatic reminders you’ve scheduled under View > Automatic Reminders.

But now, with this feature, you can also review all the scheduled reminders across all business areas on a single screen.

All automatic reminders are displayed. You can view them all or filter by type:

  • Sent: Reminders that have already been sent.

  • Scheduled: Reminders that are set to be sent on the selected date and time.

    It’s not possible to edit a scheduled reminder, but you can cancel it and create a new one.

    If you’d like to cancel a scheduled reminder so it won’t be sent, simply click on the reminder and select CANCEL.

  • Canceled: Reminders you’ve canceled and that will not be sent.

  • Error: Reminders that couldn’t be sent due to an error.

    When the software attempts to send the reminder to the customer, it checks the available email credits. If there are no credits available, the reminder won’t be sent, and you’ll see an error status with the message: "No email credits available for sending."


If you’d like to see which booking the reminder corresponds to, just click on the link that takes you to the booking—whether it’s for grooming, veterinary care, training, the hotel, or daycare. The booking will open in a new tab.

You can send emails directly from Gespet, and in this option Marketing > CRM > Email Deliveries, you can check the log.

You can view them all or filter by type:

  • Queued: About to be sent. If you've triggered a bulk email action, emails will be sent gradually, and those marked as "queued" are waiting to be sent.

  • Sent: Emails that have already been sent.

  • Scheduled: Emails that are scheduled to be sent at the selected date and time.

  • Canceled: You’ve canceled the sending, and the email won’t be sent.

  • Error: Emails that couldn’t be sent due to an error.

    When sending the reminder to the customer, the software checks the available email credit. If no credit is available, the email won’t be sent, and the status will show "Error" with the reason "No credit available to send more emails."
