Ready to embark on a journey to enhance your success? Dive into Localflo's Quick Wins Playbook, where we'll explore crucial strategies that will not only transform your business but also leave you astounded. These game-changing tactics will drive more leads, foster meaningful conversations, and garner glowing reviews, ultimately skyrocketing your revenue and retention rates. Moreover, we'll delve into crafting a streamlined, conversion-focused workflow that maximizes the potential of your leads.
Let's face it; traditional phone calls are becoming a thing of the past. Nowadays, both potential clients and leads prefer the convenience of texting. Localflo empowers you to leverage SMS-enabled phone numbers for yourself and your business, unleashing the potential of text-based communication. Text messages boast significantly higher delivery, open, and conversion rates compared to emails. Additionally, this feature automatically creates and updates contacts with pertinent information, such as names and emails, during conversations.
What if a potential lead tries to call your business, and the call goes unanswered? Is that a missed opportunity? With Localflo's missed-call text-back feature, it doesn't have to be. When you set up SMS-enabled phone numbers, as explained in our first Quick Win, this feature is seamlessly activated. In the event of a missed call, a prompt text message is dispatched to the caller, encouraging them to respond via text. The swiftness of this response increases the chances of re-engaging the lead before they explore alternatives.
Our third Quick Win introduces the Localflo Mobile App, a game-changer for on-the-go business management. This indispensable tool allows you to manage contacts, prospects, opportunities, and more, all from the palm of your hand. Notably, it can extend client retention by an impressive 30%.
Did you know that you can centralize communication from social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram within your Localflo account? By seamlessly connecting your social channels to your Localflo account, all messages are funneled into the conversations tab, alongside emails and SMS messages. This streamlines communication, saving you precious time and sparing you the hassle of logging into multiple platforms.
Our fifth Quick Win taps into the power of Google, specifically Google Business Profiles. These profiles often appear as the top results when users search for businesses, generating substantial online traffic. On average, small businesses receive over 1,000 monthly visits through their Google Business Profiles. By integrating these profiles into Localflo for your business, you can enable messaging and simplify communication management. This creates a new channel for free leads that you can take credit for, while also capitalizing on potential leads that might have otherwise slipped through the cracks.
Consumer trust often hinges on peer reviews rather than company advertisements. Positive online reviews carry significant weight and can drive more sales. In fact, 94% of consumers are more likely to buy from a business with positive reviews, and 89% are more inclined to purchase if the business responds to their reviews. Localflo simplifies the process of generating and responding to reviews. By connecting Facebook and Google Business Profiles, reviews are automatically integrated into the conversation stream, allowing you to view, reply, and address any disputes. You can also employ review request templates to collect more reviews and swiftly enhance your business's reputation while offering visible benefits.
Are you inundated with repetitive questions from customers? Localflo can save you precious time by implementing automated responses. Localflo enables you to launch a workflow recipe that monitors inbound channels for messages containing specific keywords or phrases. It then automatically sends back responses that answer frequently asked questions. This not only boosts your efficiency but also provides quicker answers to curious customers, positioning you as a reliable problem-solver.
Our discussion of streamlining and consolidating communications wouldn't be complete without mentioning the Localflo Webchat Widget. This versatile webchat option can be easily installed on GHL, WordPress, and other websites. It serves as a gateway to SMS conversations. When leads complete the chat form, the conversation seamlessly transitions to your chat stream. Your responses are sent as text messages to their phones, ensuring they don't have to wait with a chat box open.
Do your websites feature compelling Call To Action (CTA) forms? If not, you might be missing out on valuable leads. Localflo simplifies the creation of CTA forms with user-friendly drag-and-drop builders. You can configure them to appear when a lead attempts to exit a page or clicks a specific button. These forms can be embedded on any website, not just Localflo. Setting up CTA forms for your business is a swift process that starts delivering valuable leads almost immediately.
Ever encountered the dilemma of having only one link on social media profiles? Localflo's social link pages offer a solution. These LinkTree-inspired pages are available as templates in our library. You can effortlessly customize the buttons to include links to various pages and then publish them on a subdomain. This creates a powerful, multifaceted link to use on social profiles, efficiently channeling your leads.
Now that you're inundated with leads for your business, follow-through is key. Engaging a new lead within the first five minutes dramatically increases the likelihood of closing the deal. However, business owners are often occupied with running their operations and may not respond promptly. Localflo introduces the Fast 5 Lite recipe to automate lead engagement. It sends an email and a text message within the first two minutes. If the customer responds, they are guided through a workflow designed to secure sales. If not, a phone call is triggered, alerting you to a new lead and enabling you to initiate contact at the push of a button. This powerful workflow ensures that no lead goes to waste.
