Turn leads into loyal clients — without chasing them.

If you’re tired of spending hours on follow-ups, manually replying to every inquiry, or losing potential clients because your systems aren’t set up… this guide is for you.

Here’s exactly how I help service-based businesses (like photographers, coaches, and creatives) automate their client journey from first click to final booking.

Step 1: Build a Lead Capture Funnel

What is it: A funnel is a step-by-step system that guides potential clients from discovering you to contacting you.

What we do: We build your funnel inside HubSpot (or another CRM if you prefer). This includes:

  • A landing page or form that captures visitor info (name, email, service need)

  • Lead tagging and segmentation

  • A thank-you page or follow-up sequence

Example: Imagine a bride visits your site and clicks “Book a Consultation.” She fills out a form, and immediately gets a personalized email with your pricing guide and a scheduler link. You get a notification in HubSpot. No delays, no manual replies.

Step 2: Set Up Your Email Newsletter System

What is it: A newsletter keeps your brand top-of-mind while building trust with your audience even before they’re ready to book.

What we do:

  • Connect your website or funnel to an email marketing platform (like HubSpot, MailerLite, or ConvertKit)

  • Design your branded newsletter template

  • Build your Welcome Sequence (3–5 automated emails)

  • Set up lead magnets (e.g., a free checklist or guide)

Example: A lead downloads your “5 Tips for Planning the Perfect Engagement Shoot” PDF. Over the next few days, she gets a friendly sequence of emails showing your work, testimonials, and a soft call-to-action to book a call.

Step 3: Automate Client Communication

What is it: From the moment someone contacts you, your communication should feel personal — even if it’s automated.

What we do:

  • Set up auto-responders for contact forms or DMs

  • Create booking confirmation emails and reminders

  • Automate post-booking emails like invoices, contracts, and prep guides

Example: A client books a session on your site. She immediately gets a confirmation email, a calendar invite, and a link to a “What to Expect” guide — all without you sending a single message.

Step 4: Organize Your CRM & Workflows

What is it: A CRM (Customer Relationship Manager) is the brain of your business. It tracks every lead, every email, every deal — so nothing slips through the cracks.

What we do:

  • Set up your CRM (HubSpot, Dubsado, or others)

  • Build workflows to move leads through your pipeline automatically

  • Create dashboards so you can track conversions, open rates, and more

Example: You log in and see 12 new leads: 5 are in the “Inquiry” stage, 4 have scheduled calls, and 3 are ready to book. You can send bulk follow-ups or offers in seconds — all based on where they are in your funnel.

Step 5: Training & Ongoing Optimization (Optional)

What is it: A system is only powerful if you know how to use it — or have someone to improve it as you grow.

What we do:

  • Give you a walkthrough of everything I’ve built

  • Show you how to update your automations or emails

  • Offer optional monthly support to optimize and expand your funnel

Example: A month after launch, you notice lots of leads are clicking but not booking. I tweak the sequence to add a stronger call-to-action and add urgency. Bookings go up by 25%.
