Stage-based follow-up rhythm
Match intensity to lead temperature.
- New inquiry: respond within 15 minutes with two scheduling options
- Showing scheduled: confirmation + day-before reminder
- Post-showing: same-day recap and next-step ask
- Stale 7+ days: re-engage with one clear value hook
Weekly pipeline review
Every week, audit leads with no activity in 72 hours and assign one owner to each stale thread.
Agents who run this cadence usually improve show rates and shorten time-to-offer.
