Customer Communication

The follow-up that always gets sent, the update the customer did not have to ring for, and the review request that goes out while the job is still fresh.

Say the Right Thing,
Without Remembering To.

The messages that build a reputation are rarely difficult to write — they are just easy to forget when the day gets busy. A quote nobody followed up. A customer wondering where the engineer is. A happy client who would have left a five-star review if anyone had asked. We build those messages once, attach them to the events that should trigger them, and send them where your customers already read: email, SMS, or WhatsApp. Your team stops being the bottleneck for its own follow-up.

Get started
  • Follow-up sequences over email and SMS, triggered by real events
  • Appointment confirmations and "on the way" updates
  • Review requests to your Google Business Profile once a job is complete
  • WhatsApp Business API and Twilio for messages people actually open
  • Quote chasing that continues without anyone chasing it
  • Every message logged against the customer record in your CRM

Why the Follow-Up Is the Business

Customers judge you on the messages that arrive when nothing is wrong: the confirmation, the update, the check-in afterwards. Those are also the first things to fall over in a busy week, which is precisely when the enquiries are worth most. Automating them is not about sending more — it is about the important ones never depending on someone having a spare five minutes.

How We Approach It

01
Find the gaps

We walk the customer journey from first enquiry to paid invoice and mark every point where a message should go and currently only sometimes does.

02
Write and wire

We draft the sequences in your voice, then attach each one to the event that should trigger it — a booking made, a job marked complete, a quote left unanswered.

03
Tune what lands

We watch open rates, replies and review volume, and adjust the timing and wording. Sending more is not the goal; being read is.

What’s Included
Follow-Up Sequences

Quotes that chase themselves, enquiries that get a second touch, and past customers who hear from you before they have forgotten who you are. Each sequence stops the moment the customer replies.

Appointment Updates

Confirmation on booking, a reminder the day before, and an "on the way" message with a realistic window. The two most common calls to any office both stop happening.

Review Requests

A request sent to your Google Business Profile automatically once a job is marked complete — at the point the customer is most likely to say something generous, not three weeks later.

WhatsApp & SMS

Built on the WhatsApp Business API or Twilio, so messages arrive on the app your customer already has open rather than in a promotions folder they never check.

Logged Against the Record

Every message sent and every reply received attached to the customer in your CRM. Whoever picks up the phone next can see the whole history without asking a colleague.

Next Step
Which Message Is Missing?

Usually it is the quote nobody chased or the review nobody asked for. We’ll walk your customer journey with you and mark every point where it currently goes quiet.

Why Bring This to Us

We write it in your voice

The reason automated messages sound automated is that somebody used the vendor’s default template. We draft every sequence to sound like your business, and stop it dead the moment a customer replies so an automation never talks over a real conversation.

We put it where it gets read

Email for detail, SMS for urgency, WhatsApp where your customers already are — chosen per message rather than whichever channel the platform we sell happens to support.

Approval stays yours by default

Anything sensitive is held for a person to send. You get the reliability without handing your reputation to something running unattended.

What Owners Ask About Communication

Only if they are written like one, which is a copywriting problem rather than a technical one. We draft every sequence in your voice, keep it short and specific to what just happened, and set it to stop the instant a customer replies so a real conversation is never talking over an automation. Done properly, customers do not experience these as automated — they experience a business that answers quickly and does not forget things.

By asking, at the one moment the customer is most inclined to say yes. Most businesses know they should ask and simply do not, because the job is finished and the team has moved on. We trigger the request off the event that marks the work complete, send it where it will be read, and link straight to your Google Business Profile so leaving one takes about twenty seconds. Volume and recency both feed local search, so this tends to show up in enquiries as well as in the star rating.

The reliability, and what it costs you in attention. Manual follow-up is the first thing to go in a busy week, and busy weeks are exactly when the enquiries are worth most. Moving it to triggers means the quote chase, the reminder and the review request all still go out on the day the business is stretched. Your team keeps the conversations that need a person and stops spending its time on the ones that never did.
