The guide

Lead follow-up text templates

First reply (within seconds)

  • "Hi {name}, it's {you} from {business}. Got your request about {job}. I'll call you in a minute, or reply here if texting is easier."
  • "Thanks for reaching out, {name}! Quick question so we come prepared: is this urgent or this week?"

After a missed call

  • "Sorry I missed you, {name}. I can call back at 2 PM or 4 PM. Which works?"
  • "Tried you just now about {job}. No rush, reply with a good time and I'll call then."

After sending a quote

  • "Hi {name}, did the quote make sense? Happy to walk through it in 5 minutes."
  • "Any questions about the price or the dates? I can hold Thursday for you until Wednesday."

Quiet leads

  • "Still looking for help with {job}? If plans changed, no problem at all."
  • "Hi {name}, we have an opening on {day}. Want it?"
  • "Just checking in. If now is not the right time, I'll leave you be."

Booking and reminders

  • "You're booked for {day} at {time}. Reply C to confirm or R to reschedule."
  • "See you tomorrow at {time}. Our tech {tech} will text when on the way."
  • "Thanks for choosing {business}! If you were happy, would you mind leaving a quick review?"

Rules that keep you safe

Only text people who contacted you or agreed to texts, say who you are, and stop when they say stop. Sales AI does all three by default.
