3-touch follow-up sequence

T+5min: "Thanks {first_name}! Got your enquiry about {service}. When's a good time for a quick call?" • T+1day: share a relevant result/case + a booking link. • T+3days: "Still keen? Happy to hold a slot this week."

Why this matters for insurance agencies

Quote requests from web forms and aggregator leads decay fast — often within the hour. Agencies that respond first bind more policies. Automated SMS and email sequences keep you in the conversation while producers are in meetings or on renewal calls.

When not to use AI here

Automated outreach must comply with TCPA/consent rules and carrier appointment requirements. Don't auto-bind or collect sensitive data without proper disclosures.

Your first week

  1. Day 1: Connect lead sources (website, Zillow-style referrals) to your CRM.
  2. Day 2: Build a 5-minute, 1-hour, and 24-hour follow-up sequence.
  3. Day 3: Test with your own number; confirm opt-out language.
  4. Day 4–5: Go live; track quote-to-bind rate vs. prior month.
