If Your Business Runs on Follow-Up and Admin

Here's what automation looks like for each type of business we work with.

Trades Businesses

Builders, joiners, plumbers, electricians. You're busy. That's not the problem. The problem is the admin that grows alongside the work.

"You don't have a skills problem. You have a systems problem. We build the systems."

Quote Follow-Up

Quote goes out. Client says they'll think about it. You mean to follow up. Two weeks later the job's gone to someone who rang twice.

A 3-touch follow-up sequence runs automatically on day 3, 7, and 14. Stops when they book.

Lead Response

Someone fills in the website form at 8pm. You see it the next morning. They've already booked someone else.

Every enquiry gets an instant response acknowledging receipt. You follow up the next morning with a warm lead.

Review Requests

Job done, client happy, you're already on the next one. Nobody asks for a review. Competitors with 150 Google reviews are getting the calls you're not.

Job completion triggers a review request. Email, then WhatsApp if no click. Review count grows passively.

Invoice Chasing

Invoice sent. No response. You chase it awkwardly a week later. Time and energy spent on something that should be automatic.

Chaser sequence fires on day 7, 14, and 21 if unpaid. Professional tone throughout.

Professional Services

Accountants, solicitors, consultants, IFAs. Highly skilled work combined with a constant stream of admin that doesn't need your expertise.

"Your time costs too much to spend it on emails a system could send."

Client Onboarding

New client signed. Documents need collecting. Welcome email needs sending. Different people handle it differently and things get missed.

Every new client goes through the same process automatically. Documents arrive in the right order. Nothing missed.

Document Chasing

Waiting on one document to move a case forward. Sending the same chase email three times. Cases stalling because of missing paperwork.

Document requests chase themselves at day 3, 7, and 10. You're notified only when everything is received or genuinely stuck.

Review Requests

Happy client completes their work. Nobody asks for a review. The moment passes and the opportunity is gone.

Completion triggers a review request at exactly the right moment. Multi-channel: email, WhatsApp, SMS.

Reporting

Director pulling performance data manually every week. Meetings happen on gut feel. Problems spotted late.

Plain English weekly summary lands in the inbox every Monday morning. No additional work from anyone.

Health & Wellness

Clinics, gyms, therapists, coaches. High value appointments combined with a constant churn of booking admin, reminders, and follow-ups.

"Every hour spent on admin is an hour not spent with a client."

Appointment Reminders

No-shows cost you real money. Manual reminder calls take time. People still forget.

Automated reminders at 48 hours, 24 hours, and 2 hours before. Confirmation required. No-show rate drops immediately.

Rebooking Sequences

Client finishes a course of treatment. Nobody follows up. They drift to a competitor or simply forget to rebook.

Completion triggers a rebooking prompt at the right interval. Personalised, automatic, consistent.

New Client Follow-Up

First session done. Client is interested but not committed. Nobody follows up in the right window.

Post-session follow-up sequence runs automatically. Check-in, resources, and rebooking prompt in the right order.

Review Requests

Clients are happy. Reviews are low. Asking in person feels awkward. Nothing systematic is in place.

Review request fires after a completed session or course. Timed perfectly, sent automatically.

Retail & Ecommerce

Whether you're selling in-store, online, or both, the pattern is the same. Orders, follow-ups, reviews, and repeat purchase sequences all running manually when they shouldn't be.

"Every sale that doesn't turn into a review or a repeat customer is a missed opportunity."

Post-Purchase Follow-Up

Order fulfilled. Customer happy. Nobody follows up. The relationship ends at the transaction.

Automated follow-up sequence. Check-in, review request, and related product prompt at the right intervals.

Review Requests

Good products, low review count. Asking feels awkward. No system exists to do it automatically.

Post-purchase trigger fires at the right moment. Multi-channel. Review count grows with every sale.

Abandoned Enquiries

Prospect contacts you about a product. Gets a reply. Goes quiet. Nobody follows up and the sale is lost.

Follow-up sequence runs automatically if no purchase within 3, 7, and 14 days. Stops when they buy.

Repeat Purchase Triggers

Products that need replenishing after a set period. Nobody tracks this. Repeat purchase relies on the customer remembering.

Purchase date tracked. Replenishment reminder fires at the right time. Repeat revenue increases without extra effort.
