Where to start with automation? Five processes that pay off fast
If you're just starting with automation, begin here: small effort, fast, tangible results in your day-to-day operation.
You don’t have to automate everything at once. The best place to start is what takes a lot of time, repeats often, and follows a clear rule. Here are five typical processes that pay off quickly at almost any company.
1. Capturing incoming leads
Automatically record enquiries from your website, email and social media in one place (a spreadsheet or CRM), with an instant acknowledgement. No lead gets lost.
2. Confirmation and reminder messages
An automatic email or SMS after a booking, quote request or appointment. Reminders noticeably reduce drop-off and cancellations.
3. Answering common questions
A chatbot on your website for the typical questions, 24 hours a day — leaving only the genuinely unique cases to your team.
4. Moving data between systems
If you currently copy data by hand from one tool to another, that can almost always be replaced. Fewer errors, less monotonous work.
5. Recurring reports
Automatically compiling weekly or monthly summaries, so you don’t have to gather the data by hand.
