Solution

Automated sales follow-up

The second, third, and fourth contact — the ones that are always meant to happen and usually do not.

All solutions

The problem

The first response is usually fine. What fails is everything after it. A quote goes out and is never chased. An appointment is booked and never confirmed. A customer who asked for information in March is never contacted again, and nobody notices, because nothing in the business is watching for it.

What it looks like day to day

  • Quotes sent with no idea whether they were read
  • No-shows that a reminder would have prevented
  • Leads that went quiet and were quietly forgotten
  • Follow-up depending entirely on how busy someone was that week

Automated sales follow-up

What we implement

Sequences designed around your sales cycle, with intervals and channels that suit your customers.

  • Quote and proposal follow-up

    A defined sequence after a quote is sent, stopping the moment the customer replies.

  • Appointment confirmation and reminders

    Confirmation at booking and a reminder before, on the channel the customer used to book.

  • Re-engagement for quiet leads

    Enquiries that stalled at a known stage are picked up again after an interval you choose.

  • Escalation to a person

    Defined points where the sequence stops and a human is told to call — usually on a positive signal.

  • Suppression rules

    Rules that stop a customer receiving anything further once they reply, buy, or ask not to be contacted.

How it runs

A sequence is a schedule with exits, not a mailing list.

  1. 1

    A trigger fires

    A quote is sent, an appointment is booked, or a lead reaches a stage and stops moving.

  2. 2

    The sequence starts

    The first message goes out on the customer's channel after the interval you set.

  3. 3

    Replies are watched for

    Any response stops the sequence immediately and routes the conversation to a person or the agent.

  4. 4

    The sequence continues or ends

    A fixed number of attempts, then the lead is marked and left alone. Sequences that never end are how businesses get blocked.

  5. 5

    The outcome is recorded

    What was sent, what came back, and what state the lead ended in.

What it needs from you

Follow-up touches customers directly, so the rules matter more than usual.

  • Your sales cycle: how long a decision actually takes in your business
  • How many attempts is appropriate, and how long between them
  • Approved message content, in the languages your customers use
  • The channels you are permitted and willing to use for outbound contact
  • Consent handling that meets your legal obligations
  • Messaging or telephony costs for outbound sends are separate and usage-based

What to expect

We cannot promise more sales. We can make follow-up happen consistently instead of occasionally.

  • Quotes followed up every time rather than when someone has a quiet afternoon
  • Fewer no-shows on booked appointments
  • Stalled leads picked up again rather than lost silently
  • A record of what was sent to whom, and when
  • Your team spending its time on the conversations that responded

Other solution areas

These are usually designed together rather than one at a time.

  • AI customer agents

    Text and voice agents that answer at any hour, in the customer's language, and hand over cleanly.
