Lead Follow-Up & Marketing Automation
Most service businesses don't have a lead problem. They have a follow-up problem. The lead calls, fills out a form or sends a message, and then waits while you finish the job you're on. By the time you call back, they've booked someone else.
The guides in this section cover what happens after a lead raises a hand. Lead follow-up is speed: an instant reply to every call, form and message, then check-ins on estimates, reminders before appointments and a rebooking text when someone misses. Marketing automation is rhythm: welcome messages, seasonal reminders, referral asks and win-back campaigns that run on a schedule instead of when you find time.
Text and email are the channels that carry both, so there's a guide on doing them right: registering your business texting, setting up your email domain, collecting consent and writing messages people actually answer.
You'll find templates to copy, the order to set things up and the numbers to watch each week, so you can tell whether your follow-up is working or only busy.
