TL;DR
Most agencies lose deals in the follow-up — not the pitch.
The solution: automate smart, human-sounding workflows that run 24/7.
The H.U.M.A.N. Framework helps you do exactly that — without burning out your team.
😓 The Real Bottleneck Isn’t Traffic — It’s Follow-Up
You don’t need more leads.
You need to stop losing the good ones.
Manual follow-up is killing momentum across agencies everywhere:
You pitch, they’re excited… then silence.
Your team forgets to follow up. Or does it too late.
You’re relying on hustle instead of systems.
Meanwhile, someone else closes the deal — just because they had better timing.
You didn’t lose the client. You lost the window.
🤖 Why Most Follow-Up Automation Falls Flat
Agencies try to “fix” this with automation. But the problem?
It ends up sounding like a robot.
Templates from Google. Generic drips. Awkward timing.
Leads can smell it from a mile away.
Automation should amplify your voice — not erase it.
🧠 The H.U.M.A.N. Framework
A 5-step follow-up system that feels personal — and runs on autopilot.
🔤 H — Human Tone
Sound like a real person. Not a pipeline.
✅ Use first names
✅ Casual, friendly tone
✅ Emojis welcome
“Hey Carla 👋 Just checking in — did the deck spark any new ideas?”
🔤 U — Understand Behavior
Let engagement drive the flow:
Opened pricing page → trigger a nudge
Viewed calendar link but didn’t book → resend invite
Ignored first email → escalate to SMS
This isn’t a drip campaign. It’s a conversation.
🔤 M — Multi-Touch Sequences
You’re not closing anyone with one email.
Layer your touches across:
Day | Trigger | Channel | Message |
0 | Form fill | “Got your request — what’s top priority?” | |
1 | No reply | SMS | “Quick nudge — hold a time for us?” |
3 | Opened proposal | “Anything unclear in the deck?” | |
5 | Still no reply | Slack | Alert rep to reach out manually |
7 | Missed demo | Email + Link | “Let’s reschedule — here’s my calendar” |
🔤 A — Automate the Workflow
Tools do the heavy lifting. You just close the deal.
Intergreat → CRM + dynamic reply triggers
ActiveCampaign → Multi-step flows
Calendly → Frictionless booking
Zapier / Make → Logic + conditional routing
Slack / Notion / ClickUp → Task alerts + internal handoffs
🔤 N — Notify & Escalate
Automation gets you 80% there.
The other 20%? That’s when a human steps in.
Reopened proposal → Slack ping to sales
Replied to email → flag for SDR
Viewed rates twice → hot lead tag in CRM
No more guesswork. Just precision timing.
