Hub, being the nucleus of mTap software is where you work with your leads and contacts. Leads are generated when someone fills out the ‘exchange contact’ form from your profile and clicks on ‘connect’. You may choose to convert a lead into a contact to follow up with them.
mTap Hub offers a comprehensive suite of features to help you effectively follow up and engage with your new connections. Beyond simply viewing and organizing your prospects, the platform also enables you to:
- Add contacts
- Tag contacts with relevant labels
- Create new tags as needed
- Make shared follow-up notes, that are contextually relevant to your interaction

The Importance of Email and Text Templates in mTap Follow-Ups
Using mTap for prospect follow-ups makes email and text templates essential for several key reasons:
1. Consistent Communication
Templates ensure your follow-up messages maintain a uniform tone and content. This consistency is vital for upholding a professional image and effectively conveying key information across multiple contacts.
2. Time Efficiency
Crafting unique follow-up messages for every prospect can be tedious. Templates streamline this process, allowing you to focus on personalizing essential details rather than starting from scratch.
3. Personalization
While templates offer a solid framework, they also allow for customization. Adding specific details from your conversations enhances impact and demonstrates your commitment to the relationship, significantly boosting response rates.
4. Enhanced Engagement
Templates can prompt further interaction, such as scheduling meetings or sharing resources. This encourages ongoing dialogue, which is crucial for nurturing relationships.
5. Professionalism
Well-designed templates uphold a high standard of professionalism. They ensure all necessary information about your services, follow-up actions, and next steps is communicated clearly and concisely.
