You delivered a custom sign. The client is thrilled. And then... silence. No follow-up. No review request. No referral ask. Sound familiar?
Post-delivery is the highest-leverage window in your client relationship. The client just received something they love. They're eager to share it. But without automated follow-ups, that window closes and you lose the opportunity.
The Post-Delivery Sequence
Atellier's follow-up engine triggers automatically when a deal reaches the "Delivered" stage:
- Day 1: Thank you message — A personalized thank-you with care instructions and your support contact
- Day 3-5: Check-in call — A task is created for the rep to call and make sure everything looks perfect
- Day 7-10: Review request — An email with direct links to leave a Google or social media review
- Day 14-21: Referral ask — "Know someone who'd love a custom sign? Send them our way and you both save."
- Day 30: Satisfaction survey — Quick survey to catch any issues before they become complaints
The businesses that grow fastest aren't the ones with the most leads — they're the ones that turn every delivery into a review, a referral, and a repeat order.
Why Automation Matters Here
- Consistency — Every client gets the same great experience, regardless of which rep handled the deal
- Timing — Follow-ups land at the optimal moment, not whenever someone remembers
- Tracking — See which follow-ups have been completed and which need attention
- Results — Shops using automated sequences see 3-5x more reviews and 40% more referrals
Set it once, benefit forever. Atellier's sequence builder lets you design the perfect post-delivery experience in minutes.
