Tools you'll need

Step by step

  1. 01

    Centralize leads in a CRM

    Route every lead from web forms, calls, and ads into one CRM like GoHighLevel or Agent CRM so nothing is missed.

  2. 02

    Respond in under 5 minutes

    Set up an instant text and email the moment a lead comes in. Speed-to-lead is the biggest factor in conversion.

  3. 03

    Build a multi-touch sequence

    Create an automated sequence of texts, emails, and call reminders spread over days and weeks.

  4. 04

    Add call and voicemail steps

    Mix automated messages with scheduled call tasks and ringless voicemail so a human still connects.

  5. 05

    Segment by line and stage

    Tailor follow-up by policy type and where the lead is in the pipeline, so messaging stays relevant.

  6. 06

    Track and optimize

    Watch which touches book appointments, then cut what doesn't work and double down on what does.
