🔔 Ever Missed a Call and Lost a Customer?

If you’re a salon, clinic, contractor, or local service provider — you know the pain of missed calls. And every missed call could mean a missed sale.

Enter: Missed Call Text Back Automation — an AI-powered solution that makes sure no customer gets ignored… even when you’re unavailable.

🤖 What Is a Missed Call Text Back Automation?

It’s a smart system that automatically sends a personalized text (or WhatsApp message) to every missed call.

Example message:

"Hi! Sorry we missed your call. How can we help you right now?"

It can also be connected to:

  • A chatbot

  • An appointment booking link

  • A lead form

  • Your CRM

It works 24/7 and responds instantly — so you stay responsive, even when you’re off the phone.

🧠 Why Every Service Business Needs This

✅ 1. Never Lose a Hot Lead

Most customers won’t call back. If you don’t reply fast, they’ll go to a competitor. An instant SMS keeps the conversation going.

✅ 2. Works Even During Off Hours

You don’t have to hire someone to reply to every call. Your AI automation does the job — even after hours or on weekends.

✅ 3. Saves Time, Builds Trust

The client feels heard, and you save time by automating responses, bookings, or FAQs.

✅ 4. Fully Customizable

You can design the message to:

  • Route to your booking system

  • Collect lead info

  • Trigger follow-up reminders

📲 Real Example: How It Works

At AFM & Co., we built a missed call automation for a local SMP studio:

Flow:

  1. Call is missed

  2. AI sends a message within 5 seconds

  3. If customer replies, AI agent continues the chat

  4. Info is saved to Google Sheet CRM

  5. AI follows up after 24 hours if no reply

📈 Result: 30% more bookings and faster lead capture.

🛠️ What You Need to Set It Up

We use:

  • Zoom Phone, Telnyx, or Twilio for missed call detection

  • Zapier or GoHighLevel for automation logic

  • OpenAI GPT for smart replies

  • Google Sheets / CRM for storing leads

🎯 Final Thoughts

If you’re serious about not losing leads, this is one of the most affordable and high-impact automations you can add to your business today.

It’s simple, scalable, and your customers will love the fast response.
