5 Proven Automations Businesses Are Using in 2025 to Print Money

Businesses lose thousands of dollars every month. Not because they’re bad at what they do, but because they don’t respond fast enough or fail to keep track of their leads.

Your prospects are impatient. They expect instant replies and if they don’t get one, they move on to a competitor.

The one-line SMS automations below have helped our clients generate thousands in extra revenue, reactivate old inquiries, and convert curiosity into cash.

1. The Speed-To-Lead Automation SMS

This is the number one automation that fast-growing businesses use to turn urgency into money.

When a prospect reaches out in “Buy Now” mode, they are most likely to buy from the first business that responds.

Send this message within five seconds of receiving an inquiry through your website, email, or SMS, and watch your conversion rates skyrocket.

Hi {{contact.firstname}}, thanks for reaching out. Would you like us to book you in for a quick call to discuss further?

2. Automated AI response SMS

Your goal is to grab attention and secure the booking immediately.

In 2025, businesses that rely on manual replies will be overtaken by those that use AI follow-ups.

If you wait 24 hours to ask for a booking, you have already lost the opportunity. AI can engage leads instantly, answer their questions, and book appointments in real time.

Train an AI chat bot with the below prompts to answer general questions and book in appointments.

3. Automated Appointment Reminder Text

People forget, and that is normal. Your system should make sure they do not.

Send friendly reminders to reduce no-shows:

Use the reminder texts below 24 hours before the appointment.

Hi {{contact.firstname}}, Just a friendly reminder that our scheduled call tomorrow is at 4 pm AEDT. Talk soon.

Use the below reminder text 1 hour before the call.

Hey {{contact.firstname}}, just a quick reminder our appointment is in 1 hour at 4 pm. Exicted to talk with you!

4. Desire reactivation SMS

For prospects that don’t reply to your texts, send this to show them what you’ve achieved for your clients. 

This immediately triggers their desires, reignites their interest and makes them want to talk to you.

Hey {{contact.firstname}}, when James reached out to us he was {{explain pain point}}, we got him {{ideal outcome}}. Read his story below.

5. "It's been a while" follow up SMS

Sometimes people do not respond because life gets busy.

A simple message, two weeks or even a month later can bring them back.

You’d be surprised to see how a simple open-ended question gets your prospects to re-engage.

Hey {{contact.firstname}}, this is Mike from {{business.name}}. You reached out to us a few weeks ago regarding {{service}}. Is this still a priority for you?

Every second delayed is an opportunity lost...

In 2025, the businesses that win are the ones that automate their follow-ups, reminders, and lead responses to turn inquiries into actual sales.

Implement these automations in your business and watch your sales take off!
