Compare your options for lead follow-up
There are four sensible ways to handle follow-up that is slipping. Each fits a different situation, and they are not mutually exclusive.
| Option | Where it fits | What you still own | Where it stops |
|---|---|---|---|
| Handle it yourself | Low volume, and you have the time. | Every call, quote and callback, on top of the work itself. | Follow-up is the first thing to slip in a busy week. |
| Add a narrow tool | One specific moment, such as an instant reply to a missed call or a first answer on your website. | Setting it up, keeping it running, and following up on whatever it does not handle. | Each tool covers one step. Features and pricing vary by product. |
| Hire someone | Ongoing follow-up capacity, judgment and customer relationships. | Recruiting, training, pay and supervision. | Slow to start, and an ongoing cost. |
| Vayna's 30-Day Pilot | A bounded push on the follow-up you already have, worked by the founder. | Approving the rules and messages, naming one approver, reading the reports. | 30 days and one location. Phone follow-up, not instant or round-the-clock replies. No revenue guarantee. |
Vayna vs. missed-call texting
An instant text covers one moment. The pilot covers the backlog of calls, forms, estimates and old leads already sitting there.
