Field sales follow-up app: send before you leave the booth
The rep who follows up within the hour wins the meeting. The rep who waits until they are back at the office is one of fifty emails the lead deletes on Monday.
Speed is the whole game on a show floor
At a trade show, every booth a lead visits asks for their card. By the time anyone follows up, the lead has talked to dozens of vendors and remembers almost none of them. The advantage goes to whoever reaches out first, while the conversation is still in their head.
Capture the lead at the booth
Scan the card or badge with your phone the moment the conversation ends. Add one line about what they need. There is no form to fill out later and no stack of cards to transcribe back at the hotel.
Draft and send before the next handshake
The app drafts a short follow-up grounded in your note, referencing what they asked about and proposing a next step. You review it and send, by email from your real inbox or by text from your own number. The lead gets a personal message within minutes, not days.
Built for your phone, not a desk
Every step runs one-handed in a browser tab on your phone: scan, review, send. You work the floor and the follow-ups go out as you go, instead of piling up for a data-entry session that never happens.
For reps working a booth or a territory. Capstone Outreach turns a scanned card into a personal follow-up in about four taps, sent from your own number or inbox. You review everything, and nothing sends until you approve.
Set up in minutes. You review and approve every message before it sends.
Frequently asked questions
How do field reps follow up faster at a trade show?
Capture each lead at the booth by scanning their card, draft the follow-up on your phone right there, and send it from your own number or inbox before you move to the next conversation. Sending the same day, ideally within the hour, beats the reps who wait until they are back at the office.
Can I send the follow-up as a text from my own number?
Yes. For a warm booth conversation, Capstone queues a short text you send from your own phone number in one tap, so it reads as a personal message. Email works the same way from your real Gmail or Outlook.
Does it work without a laptop?
Yes. The whole flow runs from your phone in a browser tab: scan the card, review the draft, send. It is built mobile-first for working a floor, not a desk.
