You know how running a business can feel like a never-ending to-do list? There’s always another follow-up, another task waiting. It gets exhausting. But best service autopilot automations can change that. They take care of the repetitive stuff for you, like following up with clients or managing customer service. It’s all done automatically, so you can finally focus on the bigger things—like growing your business and actually catching a break.
Here are the 14 best service automations we use at Ready Business Systems.
1. Estimate Follow-Up with Prospecting Automation
Imagine sending a quote to a potential landscaping client and never having to manually follow up. With the Estimate Follow-Up Automation, reminders are automatically sent to clients via text or email. For example, if you sent a lawn care estimate and the client hasn’t responded, this system will send gentle nudges until you either win the job or mark it lost.
