Automation isn't just for big companies. These five automations pay for themselves in the first month.
1. Lead Response Automation
Speed to lead is the #1 factor in closing deals. Respond within 5 minutes vs. 1 hour — your conversion rate drops 10× with delay.
Set up: Form submission → instant email + SMS to prospect + internal notification to your team.
2. Review Request Sequence
Your happy customers won't leave reviews unless you ask. Automated review requests sent 3 days after project completion consistently generate 15–30% review rates.
3. No-Show Recovery
If someone misses an appointment, an automated follow-up sequence (2 emails + 1 SMS) recovers 30–40% of no-shows.
4. Invoice Follow-Up
Overdue invoices are a cash flow killer. Automated reminders at 3, 7, and 14 days past due dramatically reduce DSO without awkward calls.
5. Seasonal Re-engagement
Reach past customers before your busy season. An automated campaign sent 6 weeks before your peak generates warm leads at near-zero cost.
Getting Started
