The short answer

Most small businesses lose work in the gap between an enquiry arriving and somebody replying. The enquiry comes in at nine at night, gets an answer the next afternoon, and by then the customer has rung someone else.

AI lead follow-up closes that gap. An AI agent replies straight away, asks the questions you would ask, and keeps following up until the person books or says no.

Dean Keating, the publisher of this guide, installs this for businesses. He is based in Horndean, Hampshire, and works with Eastleigh and Hampshire businesses remotely. Call Dean or book the free AI call.

Turning enquiries into booked calls

A follow-up agent does four things. It replies to the new enquiry. It gathers the details you need to quote. It offers a time and puts the call or the job in your diary. And it chases, politely, when the person goes quiet.

His website lists this work: replying to new enquiries within minutes, day or night; following up every lead until they book or say no; sending quotes and nudging the ones left unanswered; booking jobs straight into your diary.

Following up Facebook and Instagram ad leads

Advert leads go cold faster than any other kind, because the person was not looking for you a minute earlier. If you pay for Facebook or Instagram adverts, the reply needs to arrive while they still remember filling in the form.

An agent can pick up each new lead as it arrives, send the first message, and carry on the conversation. Dean Keating's website says he has more than ten years in marketing and has driven more than a million orders through Meta ads, so advert leads are a job he knows from the advertiser's side.

WhatsApp follow-up

Many customers would rather message than ring. His service covers answering and following up across email, web and WhatsApp, with anything tricky passed to a person.

Whoever sets it up, keep it honest: say it is an automated assistant if a customer asks, and make it easy to reach a person.

What to set up first

Start with the reply to a new enquiry. It is the step where the most work is lost and the easiest to measure. Add quote chasing next, then reminders and confirmations.

What to check before you buy

Does it work in the inbox, diary and CRM you already use? Can you read every message it has sent? What does it do when it does not know the answer? Who changes the wording when your prices or services change?

What it costs

There is no published price list. The cost depends on what is being automated and is given after a free first call.
