A virtual consultation lead says "let me think about it." What do I do in RootLogic?

A virtual consult that ends without a booking decision still needs proper handling in the system — here's how to document it and keep the follow-up alive.

1
Write a note on the contact record immediately
Go to the contact's record in RootLogic and add a note in the Notes section. Write what was discussed, the doctor's recommendation, any objections they raised (cost, timing, wanting to research more), and your read on how serious they are. Do this right after the call while the details are fresh — this note is what the next person who touches this record will rely on.
2
Leave the pipeline card in "Consult Booked" — do not move it
The consult happened, so the card belongs in Consult Booked. Do not drag it back to Lead Received or Hot Lead — that would fire automation intended for new leads and corrupt the stage history. The card stays where it is; your follow-up task is what drives the next action.
3
Set a follow-up task with a specific due date
In the contact record, click + Add Task and set a task called "Follow-up call — thinking it over" with a due date 3–5 business days out. Assign it to yourself or the appropriate team member. This is what guarantees someone actually calls back — don't rely on memory.
4
Send a same-day follow-up text or email
While the conversation is still warm, send a short message from the Conversations tab — something like "Great talking with you today. Let me know if you have any questions as you think it over — happy to help." Keep it low-pressure. This is a manual send, not automation.
Pro tip: Ask them directly before ending the virtual consult: "Is there a specific question or concern I can answer for you right now?" Sometimes "let me think about it" means "I didn't understand the pricing" or "I need to talk to my spouse" — and you can address that on the spot instead of losing them to a 2-week silence.
