Key Takeaways

Most teams lose leads due to slow follow-up. These 5 automations take minutes to set up and can double your lead capture.

1

Form submission → instant confirmation

Set up an automatic confirmation email or SMS that fires immediately after they submit. Thank them, set expectations for when you'll respond.

2

Lead routing → assign by service or region

Route leads to the right person automatically based on location, service type, or budget. Ensures faster response times.

3

Missed call → auto text

Set up an auto-response text when you miss a call: "We will call you back within 15 minutes" or "Reply YES to schedule a call".

4

Appointment reminders → reduce no-shows

Send automatic reminders 24 hours and 2 hours before appointments. Include calendar link to reschedule if needed.

5

Quote follow-up → 24h and 72h check-ins

Set up automated sequences for quotes sent but not yet booked. Check in at 24 hours and 72 hours automatically.
