How This Automation Works
Stump grinding job marked complete → Customer receives personalized follow-up survey via SMS or email
Service Completion Triggers Follow-up
When your team marks a stump grinding job as complete in your scheduling or management system, the trigger activates automatically. The system captures essential job details including customer contact information, service date, location, and specific services performed.
Personalized Message Generation
The system creates a customized follow-up message incorporating the customer's name, service date, specific stumps removed, and technician details. The message thanks them for their business and includes a brief satisfaction survey with 3-5 targeted questions about service quality.
Multi-Channel Message Delivery
The follow-up is sent via the customer's preferred communication channel—SMS for immediate response rates or email for detailed feedback. Messages are timed for optimal engagement, typically sent the morning after service completion when customers have had time to inspect the results.
Response Collection and Analysis
Customer responses are automatically collected and analyzed. The system categorizes feedback as positive, neutral, or negative based on ratings and sentiment. All responses are stored in your customer database, creating a comprehensive service history for future reference.
Intelligent Response Routing
Positive feedback triggers an automated review request directing satisfied customers to Google, Yelp, or other platforms. Neutral responses receive a thank-you message and service improvement offer. Negative feedback immediately alerts your service manager for rapid resolution and personal follow-up.
Follow-up Nurturing Sequence
For customers who don't initially respond, the system sends gentle reminder messages after 3-5 days. For satisfied customers, it initiates a long-term nurturing sequence with seasonal tree care tips, maintenance reminders, and special offers for additional services, building relationships that generate repeat business.
How It Works
Transform your stump grinding customer experience with automated follow-up communications that engage clients at the perfect moment. This system automatically triggers personalized messages after service completion, requesting feedback on grinding quality, cleanup satisfaction, and overall experience. Capture valuable insights while the service is fresh in customers' minds, identify any concerns before they become negative reviews, and prompt satisfied clients to share positive testimonials. The process seamlessly collects responses, routes issues to your service team for immediate resolution, and guides happy customers to review platforms. By maintaining consistent post-service communication, you'll strengthen customer relationships, improve service quality through actionable feedback, and build a pipeline of repeat business for future tree care needs. This approach ensures no customer falls through the cracks while your team focuses on delivering excellent grinding services rather than manual follow-up tasks.
The Trigger
When a stump grinding service is completed and marked as finished in your scheduling or job management system, the follow-up sequence initiates automatically. This ensures timely communication while the customer's experience is still fresh and relevant.
The Action
The system immediately sends a customized follow-up message thanking the customer for their business and requesting feedback on the stump grinding service. Responses are collected, analyzed, and routed appropriately—positive feedback triggers review requests while concerns are flagged for immediate team attention.
