The gap between enquiry and call

Most small firms do not lose work because they are bad at the job. They lose it in the hours after an enquiry, while the owner is out. A message comes in at 11am, gets answered at 7pm, and by then the customer has spoken to someone else.

Basildon's layout makes this easy to picture. The town centre, Pitsea, Laindon, Wickford and Langdon Hills are separate places with their own roads and stations, and the c2c line runs to Fenchurch Street. A person who works across them, or commutes out of them, is not at a desk when the message lands.

What the system does

From Dean Keating's website:

1. It replies to a new enquiry within minutes, day or night.
2. It follows up the lead until they book or say no.
3. It books the call into your diary.
4. It sends confirmations and reminders.
5. It passes the conversation to a person when it should.

A short example

Someone messages a small design studio on a Sunday evening asking about a project. The agent thanks them, asks two qualifying questions, offers three call slots, and books the one they choose. On Wednesday it nudges a second enquiry that went quiet. By Thursday morning the owner opens the diary and sees two calls, with notes.

What to decide before you start

- What counts as a good lead, so the agent asks the right questions.
- When it must stop and call you.
- How many follow-ups are polite. Two or three is usually plenty.

What he does and does not claim

No result figures are published for the service. Treat any promise of numbers with caution, from anyone.
