Lead Follow-Up

Automated Lead Follow-Up That Closes More Deals

Stop Chasing Leads. Let the System Follow Up.

Most contractors respond to leads in 24–48 hours. By then, the job is booked elsewhere. Our automated sequences reach out in minutes and keep following up until the lead books or opts out.

Your roof inspection estimate

Hi Marcus, here’s what to expect from your free roof inspection...

Delivered

Personalized by Service Type

Someone asking about a roof repair gets a different sequence than someone requesting an AC install. Context matters — and conversion rates prove it.

Service-Specific Messaging

Roof repair

“That storm hit a lot of homes in your area. We can do a free inspection to check for shingle damage before it leads to leaks.”

HVAC maintenance

“Summer’s almost here! A seasonal tune-up now can save 15% on energy bills and prevent breakdowns when you need AC most.”

Plumbing

“Water damage gets worse fast. We have a tech available today who can diagnose the issue and give you a clear estimate.”

Auto-Stops When Lead Books

No awkward double-messages. The sequence stops the moment a lead books, replies, or opts out. Smart automation that knows when to quit.
