The Auto-Reply That Never Sleeps
Write an auto-reply that catches every after-hours inquiry — acknowledges the person, sets expectations, and captures what you need — so no lead goes cold overnight.
Half your inquiries land when you're closed — evenings, weekends, mid-job. Silence for 12 hours is how a hot lead cools off and books your competitor instead.
A good auto-reply does three jobs in a few lines:
- Acknowledge — "Got your message, thanks for reaching out"
- Set expectations — when you'll actually reply ("by 9am tomorrow")
- Capture or point — ask for the one detail you need, or point to booking/pricing
In practice
For whichever channel goes quiet when you close, set one warm auto-reply that acknowledges the person, promises a specific reply time, and either asks for the one detail you need or points them to book. It keeps every after-hours lead warm while you're off the clock.
The rest is free too — it just needs a seat.
