Automated lead follow up system that keeps every lead warm until they book
Most sales happen on the third message. Who sends it?
Leads go quiet. Busy owners forget to write back. Cognitiva runs an automated lead follow up system that writes the next message for you, at the right time, until the lead replies or books.

Works 24/7
Nights, weekends and holidays. The agent never takes a night off.
The problem
Why you need an automated lead follow up system
Following up is the most skipped step in small business sales. Not because owners don't care, but because the follow-up happens on a day full of other work.
The quote goes out
The lead says they'll think about it. Nothing is scheduled to happen next.
Nobody writes back
Without an automated lead follow up system, the lead quietly cools down.
Someone else closes
A competitor who kept the conversation going gets the job.
How it works
How our automated lead follow up system works
It is not a drip campaign of generic emails. It's a sales agent that knows what each lead asked for.
Every lead gets a plan
New inquiry, sent quote, no-show, past customer: each situation has its own follow-up sequence that you approve.
Messages that make sense
Each follow-up references the conversation: the service, the quote, the question they asked last time.
Stops when they reply
The moment a lead answers, the automated lead follow up system switches to conversation mode and works toward booking.
You see everything
Leads, replies and bookings are logged in HubSpot if you use it, and you get a weekly summary.
In practice
What the automated lead follow up system follows up on
New leads that went quiet
Someone asked a question and disappeared. The agent checks back with something useful, not just 'any update?'.
Quotes waiting for a yes
Sent estimates get timely nudges with an easy next step: book the job, ask a question, adjust the scope.
No-shows
Missed appointments get a friendly message offering new times.
Past customers
Seasonal reminders and re-booking offers for customers who already trust you.

An automated lead follow up system that knows the conversation
Follow-ups mention what the lead asked for and offer a concrete next step, like a time slot or a quick answer to a question, so they feel personal and not like a newsletter.

Automated lead follow up system: FAQ
What is an automated lead follow up system?
An automated lead follow up system sends the right next message to each lead at the right time, across WhatsApp, email and chat, and stops when the lead replies or books. Cognitiva runs it with an AI agent that writes each follow-up from the real conversation.
How many follow-ups does the automated lead follow up system send?
You decide. We agree on a sequence for each situation (new lead, quote, no-show) and the system follows it, never past what you approved.
Is an automated lead follow up system spam?
Not when it's done right. Messages go only to people who contacted you, reference their request and offer a clear way to stop. Marketing emails follow the FTC CAN-SPAM guide.
Does the automated lead follow up system work with HubSpot?
Yes. Leads, messages and bookings can be logged in HubSpot so your team sees the full history.
What happens when a lead replies?
The sequence stops and the agent continues the conversation, answers questions and books the appointment. See the AI appointment setter.
Can I use it with my existing leads?
Yes. We can start with leads you already have, like quotes from the last few weeks, as long as they contacted you first. It works alongside the AI sales agent for small business.
