What is the best way to follow up with franchise leads?

Text them—fast, personally, and with a clear next step.

The best-performing franchise brands reach out within 60 seconds using a text-first approach that feels human, not automated.

📲 Why text-first wins

  • It’s how people prefer to communicate. Texts get opened and answered—fast.

  • It feels more personal. A quick, friendly message feels like a real person reaching out—not a corporate blast.

  • It creates instant momentum. Instead of waiting days for an email reply, you’re chatting with a lead in real time.

📉 Calls go to voicemail. Emails get buried. Texts get read.

🧠 Best practices for follow-up:

  • Send a personalized message within 60 seconds of the inquiry.

  • Mention the lead’s name, your brand, and offer a clear next step (like a calendar link).

  • Keep it short, helpful, and casual—like a real person would

✅ The ideal flow

  • Lead submits inquiry

  • Auto-text sent immediately: Hey [Name], this is [Dev Name] from [Brand]. Just saw your inquiry—want to text or schedule a quick call?”

  • Ongoing messages stay personal, not robotic

🔁 TL;DR Summary 

The best way to follow up with franchise leads is by sending a fast, personalized text within 60 seconds. It feels natural, gets replies, and starts conversations while your brand is top of mind.
