Three short guides for calling back your enquiriesUnder a minute each
Call back fast
- Call back within the hour after the enquiry, if you can.
- The person still has your ad in mind.
- Say your first name and your company name.
- Repeat their request in one sentence.
- Ask if it is a good moment to talk.
- If nobody answers, leave a short message.
- Send a text too, then try again later in the day.
Example to sayHello, this is [your first name] from [your company]. You wrote to us earlier about your project. Do you have two minutes to talk about it?
Follow up
- Plan two or three follow-ups, no more.
- The first the next day, the second three days later.
- The third one week after.
- Change the channel: a call, then a text.
- In the enquiry, pick “Tomorrow”, “In 3 days” or “In a week”.
- On the day, the enquiry shows “Follow-up due”.
- Remove the follow-up as soon as the person has replied.
Example text messageHello, this is [your first name] from [your company]. I am getting back to you about your project. Would you like to talk about it this week?
Avoid a missed appointment
- Confirm the appointment by text as soon as it is booked.
- Give the day, the time and the address.
- Remind them the day before, by text or by phone.
- Let the person say if the time no longer suits them.
- If they do not come, call a little later, without blame.
- Offer two new time slots.
- Note the outcome in the enquiry.
Example text messageHello, this is [your first name] from [your company]. I will see you tomorrow at [time]. If the time no longer suits you, just tell me and we will find another slot.
