Lead Follow-Up

Lead follow-up tools reply to new enquiries quickly and keep nudging until someone books or opts out. Speed matters because many people contact several providers at once. Check the channels they use and how they stop messaging.

What to look for

• Response channels: text, email, calls or chat
• Rules for when follow-ups stop
• Booking or calendar handoff
• Where new leads are captured from
