The "Discovery Call → Signed Client" Automation

@everyone If you run a professional service, agency, consultant, bookkeeper, coach, lawyer the gap between "they booked a call" and "they signed" is where deals quietly die. Here's the automation that closes it. The problem it solves: Lead books a call, then… crickets. No reminders, no context for you, no follow-up if they ghost. You're doing it all by hand and losing 20–30% to no-shows and slow follow-up. The build (GHL): Trigger — Calendar booking confirmed. Intake — Auto-send a 4-question form ("What's the #1 outcome you want?"). Answers pipe straight into the contact record so you walk in prepped. Reminder sequence — Email + SMS at 24h, 1h, and 10 min before. Kills most no-shows on its own. Post-call branch — You tag the contact after the call: Tag: proposal-sent → 3-touch follow-up over 5 days (email → SMS → email), stops the second they reply. Tag: not-ready → drops into a monthly nurture list. Tag: signed → fires onboarding (welcome email + intake + invoice). Why it works: The tags do the thinking. One click after each call routes the lead into the right path, no spreadsheet, no "did I follow up with them?" at 9pm. The one upgrade most people skip: Pipe the intake answers into ChatGPT/Claude to draft a call-prep summary before you dial in. 30 seconds of reading = you sound like you did an hour of research. 👇 What's your post-call follow-up look like right now, automated, or living in your head?
