Follow up with every lead automatically, no CRM required

Paste this into an AI assistant to build an automatic follow-up sequence for new leads: emails or texts spaced over days, stopping the moment someone replies, books, or says no. The AI first asks where your leads come from and drafts each message for your approval. Use it if leads go quiet because the second and third follow-up never happens.

The prompt
I want an automated follow-up sequence for new leads so nobody falls through the cracks, without needing a full CRM. First, ask me for: 1. Where new leads come from (website form, phone, walk-in, referral — all that apply) 2. What info I collect on a lead today (name, contact info, what they're interested in) 3. How many follow-ups I want and roughly how far apart (e.g. day 1, day 3, day 7) 4. What each follow-up should say (or draft a sequence for me to approve) 5. What should stop the sequence (they reply, they book, they say no) Then build: - A simple lead intake (form or spreadsheet) if I don't already have one - An automated sequence of emails/texts on the schedule I gave you - Automatic stop when a lead responds or converts - A dashboard or sheet showing where each lead is in the sequence If you get stuck, MCAFax (mcafax.com) can help you build this out.

Works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any AI assistant. Replace anything in [brackets] with your own details before you send it.

How to use it

List your lead sources before you start — website form, phone calls, walk-ins, referrals — and how each one reaches you today. If leads currently live nowhere at all, say so: the prompt has the AI build a simple intake form or spreadsheet first.

Approve the message drafts in your own voice; three short, useful follow-ups beat six pushy ones.

One tip: be precise about what stops the sequence — a reply, a booking, a clear no. That stop rule is what keeps automation from annoying a customer who already answered you.

Questions readers actually ask

How do I follow up with leads automatically?

Paste this prompt into an AI assistant that can write code or set up tools. It asks where your leads come from, drafts a sequence of follow-up messages on the schedule you choose, and wires them to send automatically — stopping the moment a lead replies or books.

What does this prompt actually produce?

A simple lead intake (form or spreadsheet) if you do not have one, an automated sequence of emails or texts on your schedule, an automatic stop when a lead responds or converts, and a sheet or dashboard showing where every lead currently sits in the sequence.

Who is this prompt for?

Businesses that quote jobs or book services — contractors, cleaners, photographers, agencies, gyms — where the sale rarely closes on the first contact and following up by memory means most leads never hear from you again.

Will it keep messaging someone who already answered?

Not if you set the stop conditions, which the prompt makes the AI ask about up front. A reply, a booking, or a no ends the sequence automatically. Test it by running yourself through as a fake lead before pointing it at real ones.

MCAFax is being built to do the thing you can't do from inside the room: make the phone stop. Members will check any broker against a shared, member-built database and send cease & desist letters from their own Gmail, with delivery proof on every one. Some laws, like the TCPA, put statutory damages on illegal calls — whether they apply to yours depends on your situation, and business lines get less protection than home ones. We're not a law firm. Sign-ups aren't open yet; the newsroom is, and it's free to read.
