About This Automation

New business lead follow-up is the sequence of research, outreach, and tracking work needed to turn an inbound inquiry into a booked discovery call. Done by hand, it depends on one person's memory and availability, so response times stretch and promising leads go cold.

An automated version enriches and scores each lead the moment it arrives, drafts a personalized first-touch email, and tracks replies to trigger timely follow-ups on its own. The result is faster, more consistent outreach with less manual tracking.

Key features
Enriches new leads with company and contact details automatically
Scores each lead against ideal client criteria as soon as it arrives
Drafts a personalized first-touch email referencing the prospect's context
Monitors sent threads and triggers a follow-up sequence if there is no reply
Updates lead status and notifies the account manager when a lead engages
Keeps records current without manual data entry

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Lead Capturedtrigger

A new form submission or referral entry creates a lead record.

2. Lead Enrichment & Qualification Runs

The automation pulls company and contact data and scores the lead against the agency's ICP.

3. Archive Lead If Not ICP Fit

If the lead does not meet ICP criteria, it is archived and the BDR is notified for a manual sanity check.

4. Outreach Drafting Writes First Email

The automation drafts a personalized first-touch email referencing the prospect's industry and context.

5. Send

The BDR reviews and sends the drafted email directly.

6. Follow-Up Sequencing Monitors Reply

The automation watches the thread and sends a scheduled follow-up sequence if no reply arrives within 3 days.

7. Update Status & Notify

Lead status is updated and the account manager is alerted when a reply comes in.
