Automations worth setting up

1. Send new website or ad inquiries to a Google Sheet or CRM automatically. 2. Send an instant acknowledgement by WhatsApp or email. 3. Remind your team to follow up if a lead is not contacted within a set time. 4. Ask customers for a review a few days after a purchase or service. 5. Send a monthly summary of leads and sales to your inbox.

Start simple

You do not need expensive software. Forms, spreadsheets and affordable automation tools can handle most of this. Add complexity only when you feel real pain.

Respect consent

Message people who contacted you or agreed to hear from you, and follow WhatsApp and email rules. Automation should help you respond faster, not spam people.
