1

Capture Lead Information

System automatically collects inquiry details from website forms, phone calls, referral sources, or social media messages. Captures service type needed, property details, urgency level, preferred contact method, and any special requirements mentioned by the prospect.

2

Send Immediate Acknowledgment

Within minutes, an automated message confirms receipt of their inquiry, provides estimated response time, and shares relevant company credentials. For emergency requests, the message includes immediate contact options and expected arrival timeframes.

3

Create Contact Record and Task

System generates a complete lead profile with all captured information, assigns to the appropriate team member based on service type and territory, and creates follow-up tasks with deadlines based on urgency priority.

4

Initiate Personalized Outreach Sequence

Launches a communication series tailored to the service type and urgency. Emergency leads receive immediate phone contact attempts, while routine inquiries get personalized emails with service information, pricing guidance, and scheduling links.

5

Track Engagement and Adjust Timing

Monitors email opens, link clicks, and response patterns. Automatically adjusts follow-up timing based on engagement signals. If a prospect opens emails but doesn't respond, the system sends additional value-focused content about septic system care.

6

Send Service-Specific Information

Delivers targeted content based on the service type: pumping frequency recommendations, inspection checklist requirements, installation timeline expectations, or repair process explanations. Includes educational content that builds trust and demonstrates expertise.

7

Schedule Automated Reminders

Sets up follow-up reminders at strategic intervals: 24 hours, 3 days, 1 week, and 2 weeks after initial contact. Each message includes different value propositions, customer testimonials, or seasonal service offers to maintain interest.

8

Convert to Appointment

When prospect responds positively, system facilitates appointment scheduling with calendar integration, sends confirmation details, and transitions the lead to the service delivery process. Discontinued follow-ups are logged with reason for future reference.
