The 3-text sequence that recovers a missed call
If a customer rings your business and you don't answer, most of them are on to the next result in about 8 minutes.

Here's a three-message sequence that recovers a decent chunk of them — no CRM required:

Auto-text within 60 seconds (the moment the missed call lands): "Missed you — I'm on a job. Reply here with what you need and a post code and I'll come back before 5."

Nudge at 4pm if they haven't replied: "Quick nudge — still happy to help. What's the issue and where are you?"

Close-of-day follow-up if they engaged but didn't book: "I can fit you in tomorrow morning or Thursday after 2. Which works?"

The unlock isn't the tech. It's that you decide once, and it runs for you — instead of trying to remember to call back between jobs.

If you're losing two jobs a week at £200+ each, this is the first £100 of automation you should build.
