When they may fit
Pick Mail2Follow if…

When we fit
Pick us if leads go quiet.
Most UK service firms don’t lack leads — they lose them to slow Gmail follow-up. Choose Follow-Up Live if chasing every new enquiry by hand is the expensive part. Every business gets a custom plan, priced after a short free discovery call. Gmail-native, with Cadence + Stop-on-Reply. You still stay in charge. Pause whenever you like. You do not have to click Track on each lead. Chasing leads by hand takes a person off the tools. A custom plan answers every new enquiry in your voice. The price is set after a short free discovery call.

We can set up a wider job with you: a lead desk across several channels, a chain of admin steps, or new-client onboarding. Talk to us. Book a free call. There is no public price list.

No. It sends ordinary mail from your Gmail and stops when the lead replies. We do not sell open tracking.
Can I approve every follow-up before it sends?
Follow-Up Live sends the cadence once you turn follow-up on, after a test run you control. We can set up one job with you: a form enquiry into a sheet and a ping, an order or booking confirmation, mail turned into a task, or a Monday summary. We can set up a wider job with you: a lead desk across several channels, a chain of admin steps, or new-client onboarding. Book a free call. There is no public price list.
