Lead Follow-Up: No Inquiry Left Behind
Only 20% of leads book on first contact. What about the other 80%? Automated follow-up captures them.
The Lead Follow-Up Problem
Someone inquires about your salon. You respond when you can. By then, they've moved on — or booked elsewhere. Sound familiar?
Lead Loss Statistics
Every hour delay in response decreases conversion by 10x. But you're busy with clients — you can't drop everything to chase leads.
The Optimal Follow-Up Sequence
AI automates this sequence for every lead:
AI responds within 60 seconds, answers questions, offers to book
"Still thinking about booking? Happy to answer any questions!"
Share helpful info, highlight popular services, or special offer
"Don't want to bug you — let me know if you'd like to book!"
Sequence stops immediately when lead responds or books.
Personalized, Not Generic
AI personalizes each follow-up based on the original inquiry:
Generic (Bad)
"Hi! Just following up on your inquiry. Would you like to book?"
Impersonal, easy to ignore
Personalized (Good)
"Hey Sarah! Still thinking about that balayage? I just had a cancellation for Saturday 2pm if you're interested!"
References their inquiry, offers specific slot
