Case Study 01 · Marketing Automation

Turning ignored Messenger pings into booked jobs — without spending a peso more on ads.

An 8-year-old HVAC business in Metro Manila was receiving 50–70 inquiries every week and converting only a fraction. The bottleneck wasn't demand. It was the 2 to 3-hour silence before anyone replied.

The numbers that matter

100 jobs

Monthly bookings target, up from the 80–90 baseline

₱150K /yr

Recurring revenue recovered from existing PMS clients

<1 min

Response time, down from 2–3 hours — 24/7 coverage

01 — Discovery

The business wasn't broken. The response window was.

Arctic Flow had no CRM, no automated intake, and no after-hours coverage. Inquiries trickled in across Facebook Messenger, Google, and direct calls, then waited 2–3 hours for a manual reply. By that time, the prospect had already booked a competitor.

The owner's own estimate: 20–25 leads lost every week to slow follow-up. At an average ticket of ₱3,500–₱4,000, that's roughly ₱70,000–₱100,000 in weekly revenue walking away.

Problem 01

Silent after-hours inquiries

Every message sent between 6 PM and 8 AM sat unanswered until morning — peak browsing hours for the target persona.

Problem 02

No proactive recall

~120 active PMS clients were expected to remember their own service schedules. Most defaulted to one visit a year instead of three.

Problem 03

No pipeline visibility

Lead status lived in spreadsheets and phone notes. Nobody could answer "how many inquiries did we get this week?"

"You message a company and nobody gets back to you, so you just move on and find someone else."
— Voice of the customer, repeated across the Metro Manila HVAC market
02 — Strategy

Don't generate new demand. Catch the demand already arriving.

The strategic bet was simple: Arctic Flow already received enough inquiries to hit 100 bookings a month. What it needed was a system that responded within one minute, every minute of the day, and recovered the leads that slipped through.

Built on GoHighLevel, the system routes every inquiry — regardless of channel or hour — through a single automated intake conversation that collects unit type, discloses the price, and confirms a follow-up time. A human only enters the workflow once the prospect is qualified and the schedule is half-booked.

Workflow A

24/7 Automated Intake

Fires within 1 minute on every Messenger inquiry or form submission. Collects service type, unit type, pricing acknowledgment, and preferred schedule.

Workflow B

Job Show-Up Sequence

Four-touch SMS chain from booking confirmation to "on-the-way" — designed to push show-up rate above 85%.

Workflow C

Abandoned Booking Recovery

Two-touch SMS plus a value-add email at 1 hr, 24 hr, and 72 hr for prospects who completed intake but didn't confirm.

Workflow D

PMS Recall Sequence

Fires 90 days after every completed maintenance visit. Targets the full active client base for proactive rebooking.
