The problem

Lead conversion probability drops dramatically after the first 5 minutes.

By the time your team follows up, usually hours later, the lead has moved on. They called a competitor who answered.

Automation removes capacity, memory, and consistency as dependencies.

How it works

How to build an automated lead follow-up system

01

Define your lead sources

Website form, phone call, ad click, WhatsApp, referral, each source needs its own trigger.

02

Build the instant response

Within seconds, an automated message goes out via the channel they used.

03

Design the qualification sequence

Multi-step sequence that gathers key info and routes hot leads immediately.

04

Route hot leads immediately

Booking link, calendar invite, or task for your team. They do not wait in a queue.

05

Build nurture and reactivation

Non-converters enter nurture. Dormant leads enter reactivation campaigns.

Basic missed call text-back and SMS sequence: from $800. Full multi-channel qualification and nurture system: from $1,500.
Match the channel the lead used to contact you. Phone call, SMS. Form fill, email + SMS. WhatsApp message, WhatsApp response.
Until they convert or opt out. Most conversions happen in the first 48 hours. But 20 to 30% of leads convert weeks or months later if the nurture sequence keeps running.
