Following Up — Converting AI Leads Into Deals

Following Up — Your Job Starts Here.

The Handoff.

The AI's job is to find interested sellers. YOUR job is to close them. The AI gives you a massive head start — the owner already said yes to a conversation about selling. You are not cold calling. You are calling someone who ASKED to hear from you.

The Callback Script.

When calling back a hot lead, reference the AI conversation:

1. Opening: "Hi [Name], this is [You] following up — you spoke with someone from our team yesterday about [Property Address]. You mentioned [reference something from the summary]. I wanted to learn more about your situation."
2. Discovery: Ask deeper qualifying questions the AI did not cover: What is your ideal timeline? Have you gotten any other offers? What would you do with the proceeds?
3. Appointment set: "I would love to come see the property this week. Does Thursday or Friday work better for you?"

Speed Matters — The Data.

• Calling back within 5 minutes of the AI call: 50%+ conversation rate.
• Calling back within 1 hour: 35% conversation rate.
• Calling back next day: 15% conversation rate.
• Calling back after 3 days: under 5% — they forgot or found someone else.

This is why hot lead notifications exist. When you get a score-9 alert, drop what you are doing and call.

Follow-Up Cadence (for leads you could not reach on first callback).

• Day 1: Call back. Leave voicemail if no answer.
• Day 2: Send text: "Hi [Name], I called yesterday about [Address]. Still interested in discussing? — [You]"
• Day 4: Call again. Different time of day.
• Day 7: Final call + text: "Last attempt — if you change your mind, here is my number."
• Day 30: Move to nurture list. AI calls them again in 60-90 days automatically.

Tracking Conversions.

In your pipeline, tag leads as "AI-sourced" so you can track: how many AI calls → how many callbacks → how many appointments → how many deals closed. This data tells you your cost-per-deal from the Call Center and lets you scale with confidence.
