Ever worked a 12-hour day only to find you're losing clients because you couldn’t return calls? Finally, there's a system that lets you communicate with every customer. 👏

60% of calls to small businesses go unanswered or unreturned. Imagine how much revenue is slipping through those fingertips! 📉 Learn how Follow Up Spark can bridge that gap.

There's nothing’s worse than losing a customer because you couldn’t answer their call. Now, imagine an instant text saying, "How can I assist you?"—keeping the connection alive. 💌

This is a powerful video

I'm going to share a system that will help you make more money by addressing a common problem small businesses face, communicating with customers who call them.

"Imagine if you're a small business who needs more and more customers and you simply just don't have the time to respond to people from a phone call and return their calls back or even pick up the phone when they call." –Richard Barker

Many small business owners are so busy running their operations that they don't always have the time to answer or return calls. Think about it. After working 8, 10, or even 12 hours, who has the energy to sit back and start returning calls only to discover that potential customers have already moved on to a competing business?

Introducing the Solution: Follow Up Spark's Missed Call Text Back Feature

Follow Up Spark has a fantastic feature called Missed Call Text Back that can help solve this issue. Here's how it works:

When a customer calls and the business can't pick up, the Follow Up Spark system automatically sends them a text message within seconds. This starts a text conversation before the customer has a chance to call the next vendor.

Benefits of the Missed Call Text Back Feature

  • Instant Response: The system sends a text within seconds, engaging the customer immediately.

  • Increased Convenience: Many people prefer texting over calling, making this feature highly effective.

  • Customer Retention: Provides a way to capture potential customers who would otherwise call the next business on their list.
