Follow-up automation
Follow-up automation sends or drafts follow-up messages for you, so leads don't go cold while you're busy on the job. It can be rule-based (send a reminder three days after a quote) or AI-driven (draft a contextual check-in overnight for every stale deal), turning follow-up from a thing you forget into a thing that happens.
Why follow-up is the deal-killer
Most lost service-business deals aren't lost to a competitor's better work - they're lost to silence. The estimate goes out, the day gets busy, and nobody circles back. Follow-up automation fixes the single highest-leverage gap in the funnel: it makes sure the second, third, and fourth touch happen, when speed-to-follow-up is what wins the job.
Templated vs AI follow-up
Basic follow-up automation sends a canned template on a timer. AI follow-up writes a message that reflects the actual conversation, the customer's name and job, and where the deal stands - so it reads like you wrote it, not like a robot. The strongest setups draft it for you to approve rather than auto-sending, keeping a human in the loop on tone.
