Lead Handling & Follow-Up

Stop Losing Leads While You Work

Missed-call recovery, review requests, lead routing, invoice follow-up — built and running for local businesses in Westchester County. These are real workflows handling real operations, not AI demos.

The Problem

You Are Losing Money to Manual Work

Every missed call is a potential customer who calls someone else. Every forgotten follow-up is revenue that walks away quietly. Every invoice you are too busy to chase is money you already earned but may never collect.

These are not technology problems. They are time problems. You are busy doing the actual work while also trying to run the business behind the work.

Why Speed Matters

  • $Every missed call is a potential job that goes to whoever answers first. For most service businesses, that adds up to tens of thousands in lost revenue per year.
  • %Most people who hit voicemail do not leave a message — they hang up and call the next name on Google.
  • 5Research from Harvard Business Review found that responding within 5 minutes makes you 100x more likely to connect than waiting 30 minutes.
  • 42According to Drift's Lead Response Report, the average response time in field services is 42 hours. Less than 1% respond within 5 minutes.
The Workflows

Core Automations for Local Business

Each of these is a real system we have built and deployed for businesses. Not a concept. Not a demo. Production workflows handling real operations.

Missed Call Recovery

$1,500 - $3,000
Without This

A customer calls while you are on a job site. You miss it. They call the next contractor on Google. You just lost a $5,000 job because you were busy doing a $5,000 job.

With This

Instead of voicemail, an AI voice assistant picks up, identifies what the caller needs, captures their information, and sends you a text summary of the lead. The caller gets a professional experience. You get the details without interrupting your work.

Built with: AI voice response with lead capture and owner notificationSetup: 3-5 hours to set up

Review Request Automation

$500 - $1,200
Without This

You finished a great job. The customer is happy. But you forget to ask for a Google review, or you feel awkward about it. Two weeks later, the moment is gone.

With This

The day after a job is marked complete, an automated text goes out: "Thanks for choosing [Your Business]! If you had a good experience, a Google review helps us out a ton: [link]." No awkwardness. No forgetting. Reviews accumulate on autopilot.

Built with: Automated text message with direct Google review linkSetup: 1.5-2 hours to set up

Lead Scoring & Routing

$1,500 - $3,000
Without This

All inquiries go to the same inbox. A $50,000 kitchen renovation request sits next to a spam email and a $200 minor repair. You treat them the same because you cannot tell the difference at a glance.

With This

Every lead is scored based on project type, budget signals, and urgency. High-value leads trigger an immediate phone alert so you can call within minutes. Lower-priority leads enter an automated email nurture sequence. Nothing falls through the cracks.

Built with: Smart scoring rules, phone alerts for hot leads, email sequences for nurturingSetup: 2-3 hours to set up

AI Receptionist (Advanced)

$3,500 - $5,000
Without This

You need more than basic missed call handling. You want the AI to qualify leads, route urgent calls differently, handle after-hours inquiries, and integrate with your scheduling system.

With This

A fully configured AI voice receptionist that handles different scenarios: new inquiries get qualification questions, existing customers get routed based on their history, after-hours callers get different messaging, and high-value leads trigger immediate alerts to your phone.

Built with: Multi-scenario AI voice system with call routing and CRM integrationSetup: 8-12 hours to set up

Weekly Owner Dashboard

$1,200 - $2,500
Without This

You have no idea how your business is actually performing until tax season. Leads, conversions, revenue, reviews — it is all scattered across different apps and your memory.

With This

Every Monday morning, you receive an email with your key numbers: new leads this week, jobs booked, revenue collected, new reviews, and trends compared to last month. One glance and you know exactly where your business stands.

Built with: Automated weekly email with charts and key business metricsSetup: 3-4 hours to set up

Invoice Follow-Up

$1,000 - $2,000
Without This

A customer owes you $3,000. You sent the invoice two weeks ago. You do not want to nag, but you also need to get paid. So you wait. And wait.

With This

Automated reminders go out on a schedule: a friendly nudge at 7 days, a firmer reminder at 14 days, and a final notice at 30 days. Each message is professional and includes a direct payment link. Most invoices get paid after the first reminder without you lifting a finger.

Built with: Scheduled text and email reminders with direct payment linksSetup: 1.5-2 hours to set up
Advanced Capabilities

Beyond the Basics

The six workflows above are the most common starting points. But we build systems that are significantly more complex when the business needs it. Here is what else we have built and deployed.

Know What Is Happening in Your Market

We build pipelines that pull from government databases, licensing boards, and public APIs and turn them into a single clean view. You see new permits, new businesses, or new opportunities — without searching for them.

Running in production across 3 directory sites with 8,000+ records

Get a Weekly Report Without Logging In

Monday morning, a filtered email shows up with the numbers that matter for your territory. No dashboard to check, no app to open. The signal comes to you.

Content That Publishes on Schedule

AI drafts the content. You approve it from your phone. It publishes on schedule — social media, email newsletters, or blog posts. You stay in control without doing the writing.

Architected for a 4-page Facebook content operation

Payments That Handle Themselves

Subscription billing, trial periods, upgrade flows, failed payment recovery, and access control — all wired together. Not just a payment button, but the full lifecycle from signup to renewal.

Running across ShowFloor, PermitBeam, and 3 directory sites

See Your Business at a Glance

A private dashboard built for how your business runs — lead tables, activity feeds, CSV exports, and the metrics you actually check. No generic SaaS tool. Built around your workflow.

Built for 3 directory sites managing 16,000+ pages of content

Follow-Up That Runs Without You

Lead nurture, estimate reminders, seasonal promos, referral requests, review collection, and re-engagement — 12 sequences, 38 emails, ready to drop into your email tool and start working.

38 emails written and templated for contractor businesses
How It Works

No Zapier. No Templates. Custom Built.

We do not use no-code platforms like Zapier or Make. Every automation is custom-built software — not a chain of third-party connectors that breaks when one service changes its API. That means more reliability, better performance, and no dependency on a platform that could raise prices or shut down features.

The underlying services that power these automations — text messaging, email delivery, payment processing — are the same ones used by companies handling millions of transactions. They are extremely reliable and cost pennies per operation.

We discuss hosting and infrastructure during the scoping phase. The goal is always to find the most reliable and cost-effective setup for your specific needs.

Step 1: We talk about your workflow

What are you doing manually? What falls through the cracks? Where does it hurt the most?

Step 2: We scope and price it

Fixed price, clear deliverable. You know exactly what you are getting and what it costs before we start.

Step 3: We build and test it

Most workflows are live within 1-2 weeks. We test with real scenarios before flipping the switch.

Step 4: It runs on its own

Once deployed, these workflows run 24/7 without intervention. Monthly retainer available for monitoring and adjustments.

Common Questions

How much does a typical automation cost?

Individual workflows range from $500 to $4,500 depending on complexity. Review request automation ($500-$1,200) is the most common starting point because the ROI is immediate — a few extra Google reviews can change your call volume.

What are the ongoing costs after setup?

The text and call services cost roughly a penny per text and two cents per minute. For a typical small business, that works out to $10-30 per month in running costs. Our optional monthly retainer ($250-$500) covers monitoring, adjustments, and priority support.

Will this work with my existing systems?

Yes. These workflows integrate with whatever you already use — your phone number, your email, your Google Business Profile. We connect to your existing tools rather than replacing them.

What if something breaks?

These run on the same infrastructure that powers text messaging and calling for thousands of businesses. Outages are extremely rare. If something does go wrong, we have monitoring in place and fix it — usually before you notice.

Can I start with just one workflow and add more later?

Absolutely. Most clients start with one and add more as they see results. Each workflow is independent — they complement each other but do not require each other.
