Key Takeaways

• Centralize lead capture: Collect leads from your website, ads and social media into one inbox.

• Use AI for immediate replies: Automated responses drive 391 % more conversions than delayed replies.

• Create multi‑step nurture sequences: Engage leads over days with value and calls to action.

• Integrate scheduling: Offer easy booking links to reduce friction and speed up conversion.

Step 1: Collect Your Leads in One Place

Having multiple channels—contact forms, social media DMs, phone calls—can create chaos. Start by integrating all lead sources into a single inbox. Tools like Bizi do this by connecting to Facebook, Instagram, Google, your website forms and even text messages.

Step 2: Configure Instant Response Templates

Prepare a handful of messages for common situations:

• General inquiry: Thank leads for reaching out and invite them to book a call.

• Lead magnet download: Share the promised resource and ask if they have questions.

• Webinar attendee: Thank them for attending and offer a free follow‑up call.

Personalize templates with merge fields like {{first_name}} to increase relevance. Ensure your messages provide value and clear next steps.

Step 3: Build Your Follow‑Up Sequence

A single reply isn’t enough to convert most leads. Create a sequence of seven or more touches that combine:

1. Educational emails or SMS: Tips, checklists and resources to address the lead’s pain points.

2. Testimonials and case studies: Show social proof and results.

3. Objection handling messages: Cover common concerns about cost, timing or effectiveness.

4. Offers and deadlines: Encourage urgency with bonuses or limited slots.

Space your messages over 10–14 days to stay top of mind without spamming.

Step 4: Integrate Your Calendar

Allow leads to self‑book at their convenience. Connect your calendar (Google Calendar, Outlook) to your system and set your availability. Automated tools send a link, show your openings and handle rescheduling.

Step 5: Test and Optimize

Monitor your response times, open rates and booking conversions. Use analytics to identify where leads drop off. If your open rate is low, tweak subject lines; if bookings lag, shorten the sequence or add urgency.
