From strategy call to fully operational system with Charlie AI

This playbook works. But if you want to go from theory to done-for-you execution—Charlie AI is built for this exact problem. You bring the leads. We bring the speed, sequence, and conversion.

The Checklist

Do we respond to every lead within 5 minutes?

Research shows that responding within 5 minutes increases conversion rates by 900% compared to waiting 30 minutes. Implement automated first-touch systems to guarantee this response time.

Do we use a 5-7 touchpoint follow-up sequence?

Most leads convert between touches 5-7. If you're stopping at 1-2 touches, you're leaving 80% of your potential conversions on the table.

Are we booking calls directly via automation?

Every manual step in your booking process reduces conversion by 20%. Use direct booking links with pre-filled information to maximize appointment rates.

Is our messaging aligned with the lead's pain?

Generic follow-up gets generic results. Segment your messaging based on lead source, behavior, and indicated interests to dramatically increase relevance.
