The Client You Lost and Never Knew You Had

A high-value prospect found your firm, filled out the form, and got one good reply. Then the decision took weeks — because it always does. The fifth follow-up never went out, and they quietly signed with the firm that stayed in touch. The Client Follow-Up Engine sends that sequence for you, in your voice, for as long as the decision takes.

  • A review & reputation engine that builds the trust prospects vet you on
  • A booking link that turns interest into a scheduled consult — with reminders

How It Works

From Inquiry to Booked Consult in Four Steps

No new software for your clients to learn, nothing for your team to remember — the sequence runs on its own from the moment an inquiry lands.

1

An inquiry comes in

A new-client inquiry lands from your web form, phone, directory listing, or a referral. It enters the system with contact details logged.

2

The nurture begins

An automated, multi-week sequence goes out in your professional voice — a fast first reply, a helpful second touch, then steady, spaced follow-ups across the weeks the decision takes.

3

The prospect books a consult

Every touch carries a booking link tied to your real calendar. Interest turns into a scheduled consultation — and reminders cut the no-shows.

4

You sign the engagement

You do what you do best in the room. Every inquiry is captured, nurtured, and tracked by name, so nothing goes cold while you're heads-down.

The Math

One Client You Let Go Cold Pays for a Year

A new accounting client is rarely a one-time job. Recurring bookkeeping, annual tax and advisory work runs $2,000–$5,000 a year — and over a typical 5–7 year relationship, that's $10,000–$35,000 in lifetime value. The decision to hire you takes weeks, sometimes months, because a stranger is choosing who to trust with their financial life.

Most firms follow up exactly once. You're not losing clients you can see — you're losing the ones who inquired, got one reply, and quietly signed with the firm that stayed in touch. A single recurring client kept from going cold covers the system for a year and more.

What's Included

Built for Firm Owners, Not Marketing Departments

Everything is written, configured, tested, and managed by DPTC — you stay in the client work.

Automated Nurture Sequences

A multi-week email and SMS sequence in your professional voice — sent automatically to every new inquiry across the weeks a trust decision actually takes.

📅

Consult Booking & Reminders

Every touch carries a booking link tied to your real calendar. Automated confirmations and reminders cut the no-shows on the consults you earn.

Review & Reputation Engine

Invite clients to leave an honest review at a natural moment — a filed return or completed close — to build the Google trust prospects check before they call.

📊

Pipeline Scoreboard

A monthly report that names the outcome: inquiries captured, in active nurture, and consults booked, by source — so the value is a receipt, not a guess.

💬

Tax-Season Text-Back Valve

When the phone rings 400% more Jan–Apr and calls go to voicemail, an unanswered new-client call gets a text with your booking link — captured into the nurture engine.

🛠

Done-For-You Setup

DPTC writes the sequences, configures, tests, and maintains the whole system. Email nurture is live within days; SMS follows once A2P registration clears.

Professional & Compliant

Built to Respect the Rules You Practice Under

Licensed firms carry advertising-ethics and confidentiality obligations. Your setup is written to stay inside them from day one.

Consent-Aware Follow-Up

We follow up only with prospects who reached out to you first — inbound inquiries, not cold solicitation. Every email and text honors opt-out instantly, and SMS sends through carrier-registered business messaging.

🔗

Honest Reviews, No Gating

Review requests go to clients broadly at a natural trigger — a filed return or completed close — inviting an honest review. We never screen for happy clients or gate reviews, keeping your firm clear of FTC and Google policy.

🔒

Client Confidentiality Respected

Copy goes out in your professional voice — accurate, non-exaggerated, no outcome claims. Nothing scrapes, publishes, or implies confidential client information. If your state board has a specific rule, we build around it.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this replace my staff or admin?
No. It handles the follow-up your team means to send but rarely has time for during tax season or month-end — a professional, multi-week nurture sequence on every new-client inquiry. Your staff still owns the relationships and the client work; the engine makes sure no inquiry goes cold while they're heads-down.
Is this compliant with CPA advertising rules?
Yes, within the rules, and we build to them. We follow up only with prospects who reached out to you first — not cold solicitation. Messages go out in your professional voice, accurate and non-exaggerated. Review requests invite an honest review at a natural moment and never touch confidential client information. If your state board has a specific rule, we build around it.
How fast does it start?
Email nurture — your primary channel — starts within days of onboarding, because email needs no carrier registration. SMS follow-up switches on once your carrier registration (the approval required for business texting) clears, typically 1–3 weeks. We file it day one and email carries the load while it processes.
Do you guarantee I'll sign new clients?
No. Whether a prospect signs depends on your own close conversation and pricing, which we don't control. We guarantee the part we control: inquiries captured, nurtured, and booked into consults — all visible by name on your Pipeline Scoreboard. That's what the 120-Day Pipeline Guarantee is measured on.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. Both plans are month-to-month, no annual lock. Start with a free Pipeline Leak Assessment and we'll walk you through pricing for your firm's inquiry volume.
