Lead follow-up automation so quotes stop dying in silence.
Most jobs are lost to silence, not a “no.” Automatic follow-up texts every lead on a schedule until they book or reply — then stop on their own. Part of Cardo CRM, and you get flat monthly pricing with unlimited users.

A customer asks for a quote, you send it, and then you're back under a truck or on a roof. You mean to follow up, but the day eats you, and by the time you remember, the estimate is buried and they've moved on. They didn't choose a competitor on the merits — you simply stopped showing up, and the one company that kept following up got the job. That silent drop-off is where most service businesses lose the most money, and it's nearly impossible to fix by hand because it depends on chasing every single lead, every time, forever. Automated follow-up does it for you: steady, human-sounding texts on a schedule that stop the instant someone replies. Because it lives inside the same Cardo CRM as your leads and jobs, it knows who already booked and never bothers them.
Chases every lead
Every new lead and sent quote gets followed up on schedule — no one slips through because you got busy.
Stops when they reply
A response or a booking pauses the sequence automatically, so nobody’s chased after they say yes.

Follow-up is the cheapest lead source you already have.
Most service businesses spend real money getting the phone to ring — ads, trucks, signage, referral incentives. Then a big share of those hard-won leads quietly evaporate after the quote, not because the customer chose a competitor, but because nobody followed up and the lead went cold. That's the most expensive kind of loss: you already paid to create the lead, and then let it die for free. Automated follow-up recovers those leads at almost no marginal cost — it's found money sitting inside your existing pipeline.
It also levels the playing field against bigger competitors. You may not outspend the franchise down the road, but if you're the one who actually follows up — promptly, consistently, every time — you win the jobs they let slip. Reliable follow-up is something most operators can't sustain by hand, which is exactly why automating it is such an edge: it makes a one-person shop look as on-the-ball as a company with a full sales team.
Lead follow-up FAQs
What does lead follow-up automation do?
+
It automatically sends a series of follow-up texts to a lead after they come in or get a quote — a nudge the next day, another a few days later — until they book or reply. Instead of relying on you to remember to chase every estimate, the system does it consistently, which is exactly the work that’s easy to drop when you’re busy on jobs.
Does it stop once the lead responds or books?
+
Yes. A reply or a booking pauses the sequence automatically, so a customer never gets a “still interested?” text after they’ve already said yes. It’s designed to feel like attentive follow-up, not a robot blasting messages.
Will the messages sound like a real person?
+
They’re written to read like someone from your business checking in, sent from your number, and they stop the instant the customer engages. Done right, customers experience it as good service — you followed up when the other company didn’t.
Which plan includes this?
+
AI follow-up comes with Pro at $199/mo, bundled with the crew app, time tracking and the Cardo AI Suite rather than sold as a separate messaging or marketing add-on. Unlimited users on every plan — most tools start charging by the seat right where a field team gets expensive.
