A new enquiry gets a first text within minutes, day or night. The conversation does not wait for the office to open.
Replies and follow-ups go out from 9am to 8pm in the lead’s local time. A late-night message is picked up first thing the next morning.
One easy question per text, in plain language. It never sends a list.
If someone asks whether they are talking to a person, it says it is an AI assistant. It does not pretend.
A request for a person, a claim, an upset lead, or a question it should not answer goes to the team with a short summary.
Anyone on the team can take a conversation. The assistant goes quiet for that lead.
STOP, or “take me off your list,” gets one short confirmation and nothing after that.
It does not quote a price and does not give coverage advice. A licensed person does that on the call.
Within minutes, the lead gets a short text from your agency. It thanks them and asks one simple thing.
Hi Sarah, it’s your agency. Thanks for filling out our form online earlier. Quick one: who are you insured with at the moment?
Once it has the address, the roof age and those extra details — or the key details for another line — it offers a short call. It switches sooner if the lead asks for a call, a quote or a price.
The offer is low pressure: a few more details are usually quicker on the phone, with two specific times. If they would rather stay in text, that is fine. It sends a short list of what is still needed.
Two real open times, usually one morning and one afternoon on the next working day.
Business hours, 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday in your time zone, and two specific times in that window.
“No problem at all, Sarah. I’ll text over a quick list of what we’d need, and you can reply whenever suits you.”
A few friendly follow-ups by text and email over about eleven days. Each one asks something easy. None of them is “just checking in.” Then they join the long-term follow-up list.
It picks up where it left off, later that day or the next morning. At most two gentle nudges.
Any reply stops the automatic follow-ups and the chat continues. It does not push. Everything shared stays on file for the team.
The questions stop. The call is handed to the team. The lead gets one personal confirmation, then three casual reminders, each using their first name. No “reply YES to confirm,” no stacked texts, and never a message to someone who has opted out. If plans change, they reply and the team picks it up.
Real messages follow each lead’s answers and your hours. This one picks up after the first text. Names, times and details change. The rules do not.
Your booking calendar, if you want times pulled from it, and the person those calls belong to.
Yours, if they are not 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.
The insurance you want leads for, and the questions already on the form, so it asks the right next thing and never repeats.
Who receives the summary and the alert, with a name and the best way to reach them.
Business details mobile carriers require before texts can go out.
Anything you would rather a lead never hear from you.
