Post-service follow-up
After the job closes, the customer hears from the business on a schedule: a thank-you, a check-in, and a reminder when the next service is due.
The job is done, the invoice is paid, and the customer never hears from you again until they need something and cannot remember your name. Meanwhile the next company's postcard is on their counter.
- 01Trigger
Job marked complete
The CRM or field software records the job as done.
- 02Qualify or process
Pick the sequence
Job type sets the interval; complaint and warranty flags change or stop the path.
- 03System update
Log the touches
Each message is recorded; a service-due date is written to the customer.
- 04Customer communication
Thank you, check-in, reminder
Three short messages over the service interval, in the company's voice.
- 05Human escalation
A person answers
Any reply, especially a complaint, opens a task and pauses the sequence.
- 06Measurement
Repeat business
Touches sent, replies, complaints caught early, and repeat bookings, monthly.
Best for
- Businesses with repeat or seasonal services and no reminder system
- Companies that want to catch a problem before it becomes a bad review
- Offices where follow-up happens when someone remembers
Trigger
A job or appointment is marked complete in the CRM or field software.
Inputs
- Completion date and job type
- Customer contact details and preferences
- The service intervals the business defines by job type
- Any complaint or warranty flag on the job
Actions
- Send a thank-you within a day of completion
- Send a check-in at the set interval asking whether everything is right
- Schedule a service-due reminder based on the job type's interval
- Log every touch on the customer record
- Open a task for a person on any reply
Outputs
- Every completed job followed by the same sequence
- Replies as tasks with the thread attached
- A running list of customers due for service
Human handoff
Any reply, especially a complaint, goes to a person immediately and pauses the sequence. Nothing schedules or sells on its own.
Exceptions
- A job with a complaint flag pauses the sequence and alerts the manager
- Warranty and callback jobs get a different message or none
- Customers who have opted out are excluded
- Dental and med spa messages carry no clinical content and are approved by the practice
Required access
- CRM or field software access to read job status
- The texting or email channel from the business identity
- Approval of the intervals and the wording
Important limitations
- It depends on jobs being marked complete accurately and promptly
- The business has to define the service interval for each job type; the workflow does not guess
- Healthcare content requires practice approval and a scoped compliance review before go-live
