Speed-to-Lead Automation

Speed-to-Lead Automation

Respond in seconds across SMS, email, and voice so you win more leads before competitors reply.

Who this is for

  • Appointment-driven businesses where the first reply wins (home services, wellness, real estate, agencies, B2B inbound)
  • Teams generating inbound leads from ads, forms, chat, and phone calls
  • Anyone losing deals to slow response, missed calls, or inconsistent follow-up

The problem

Minutes matter. When a lead reaches out, they’re often contacting multiple providers at once. If you respond late, you’re no longer in the running.

Common failure points:

  • form fills sit unanswered for 15–60 minutes
  • missed calls don’t get recovered
  • nights/weekends create a backlog of cold leads
  • reps are busy and triage is inconsistent

The outcome

Speed-to-Lead Automation is designed to improve:

  • Time to first response (seconds, not minutes)
  • Lead-to-meeting conversion (more booked appointments from the same lead volume)
  • Missed-call recovery (more second chances)
  • After-hours capture (less revenue leakage)

How Run Wild delivers it

  1. Instant first response via SMS and email the moment a lead comes in
  2. Inbound call handling routes callers correctly and triggers missed-call rescue flows
  3. Intent detection + triage chooses the right next step (qualify, schedule, escalate)
  4. Scheduling and handoff turns conversations into booked meetings quickly

What’s automated vs what stays human

Automated

  • immediate replies (SMS/email)
  • missed-call follow-up
  • basic questions + qualification prompts
  • scheduling prompts and booking flow
  • pipeline updates and activity logging

Human-owned

  • complex objections and edge cases
  • high-stakes conversations
  • closing calls and negotiation
  • final approval where required (optional)

Common scenarios (plays)

Play 1: New inbound lead from paid ads

Trigger: lead submits a form from Google/Meta
Run Wild action: instant SMS + email → ask 1–2 key questions → offer meeting times
Result: you’re first, and the lead moves directly toward booking

Play 2: Missed call during business hours

Trigger: inbound call not answered
Run Wild action: immediate “sorry we missed you” SMS + booking options → notify the team
Result: recover high-intent leads that normally disappear

Play 3: After-hours inquiry

Trigger: lead reaches out at night or on weekends
Run Wild action: instant acknowledgement → capture details → propose next available times
Result: you wake up to qualified conversations and meetings on the calendar

Implementation notes

  • Typical setup: define business hours, routing rules, and qualification questions; connect messaging and calendars.
  • Best practice: keep the first response short, then move quickly into one clear next step (schedule or qualify).
