Why Follow Up Matters

Most leads don't convert on the first contact. A structured follow-up sequence dramatically increases your booking rate.

80% of sales require 5+ follow-ups
44% of salespeople give up after 1 follow-up
Automation ensures consistent follow-up every time

The Follow Up Sequence

Minute 0-5: Text Message

Send an immediate text thanking them and confirming you received their inquiry. Offer to answer any questions.

Hour 1: Email

Send a detailed email with more information about your services, social proof, and a link to book a call.

Day 1: Second Text

A friendly check-in text. Keep it short and offer to help if they have questions.

Day 2: Phone Call

Call if you haven't heard back. Leave a voicemail and follow up with a text.
