JBMOnboard360 / Lead follow-up software

Lead follow-up software

Lead follow-up software that makes sure every enquiry gets a next step.

Most service businesses don't lose leads to competitors. They lose them to a form notification nobody opened, a Meta lead that sat in Ads Manager, or a WhatsApp message on a staff member's phone. JBMOnboard360 puts every lead in one inbox, gives it an owner and a follow-up date, and tells your team each morning who is overdue.

The problem

Why leads go cold in small businesses

In the most-cited audit of lead response, published in Harvard Business Review in 2011, 23% of 2,241 US companies never replied to a web enquiry at all (we unpack that study, and the numbers that don't hold up, in our speed to lead statistics guide). In clinics, salons, agencies and franchise locations, the cause is rarely laziness. It is plumbing:

  • Leads arrive in too many places. Website forms email one address, Meta lead ads stay in Meta, Google lead forms stay in Google Ads, and WhatsApp chats live on a phone.
  • Nobody owns the lead. Everyone assumes someone else called back.
  • There is no next date. After the first call goes to voicemail, the lead has no reminder and quietly disappears.
  • Nobody can see the source. Without UTM or click data you can't tell which ads produce clients and which produce noise.

Lead follow-up software fixes the plumbing. It does not replace the phone call or the conversation, and anything that promises to "close leads for you" is overselling.

How it works

From enquiry to booked appointment

  1. The lead arrives in one inbox. Sources include Meta lead ads, Google Ads lead forms, inbound WhatsApp messages, and any website form or tool that can post to a webhook, such as Zapier or n8n. UTM tags and the Google click ID are kept with the lead.
  2. It gets an owner. The lead is assigned to a person or location, so there is one name responsible for the next step.
  3. A follow-up is scheduled. Every lead carries a next follow-up date. The follow-up queue shows what's due today and what is overdue.
  4. Your team reaches out. By phone, by email, or on WhatsApp when the client messaged you there first. The outcome goes into the lead record.
  5. The daily digest catches the gaps. Each morning, an email and in-app summary lists new leads and overdue follow-ups.
  6. The lead becomes a client. Won leads move into client records and the deals pipeline; lost leads keep a reason, so you can see why.

Compare

Lead follow-up software vs a full sales CRM

Sales CRMs such as HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce and Keap are built around pipelines, email sequences and sales reps. For a business whose "sale" is a booked appointment, much of that goes unused, while the parts that matter after the lead converts, such as scheduling, intake forms and invoices, are missing or extra. JBMOnboard360 keeps the lead and the client in one record from the first message to the invoice.

Be clear about the limits

What this lead follow-up software doesn't do

  • No SMS in the US. Follow-ups are by phone, email and WhatsApp. If your clients only answer texts, plan for that.
  • No WhatsApp broadcasts to US numbers. Meta has paused WhatsApp marketing templates to US numbers since April 2025. The concierge answers people who message you first.
  • No auto-dialer and no AI phone calls. Your team makes the calls. The AI concierge works on WhatsApp only.
  • No health information over WhatsApp. For healthcare businesses, keep clinical details in intake forms covered by the BAA.

Pricing

The lead inbox, follow-ups and WhatsApp concierge are on the Business plan: $399 per location per month billed annually, or $499 month to month, with unlimited users at the location. Professional, at $79 per user per month annually ($99 monthly), covers client records, scheduling, invoicing, forms, team chat and AI meeting summaries, without the lead inbox. Enterprise starts at $349 per location for 10 or more locations. See pricing.

Questions

Lead follow-up software questions

Is there a long-term contract?

You choose. Annual plans are a 12-month commitment at the lower annual price, and your price is locked for the term. Monthly plans cost more, and you can cancel them at any time.

Which lead sources can connect?

Meta lead ads, Google Ads lead forms, inbound WhatsApp messages, and any website form or tool that can send a webhook, such as Zapier or n8n. UTM parameters and the Google click ID are stored with the lead.

Does it send automatic follow-up texts?

No. JBMOnboard360 does not send SMS in the US. It reminds your team when a follow-up is due, and the WhatsApp concierge replies to people who message you on WhatsApp first.

How does the daily digest work?

Each morning the team gets an email and an in-app notification listing new leads and follow-ups that are due or overdue, so a busy morning starts with the people who need a reply.

Can each location work its own leads?

Yes. Leads can be routed by location, each location's team works its own list, and HQ can see all of them.

Is it HIPAA compliant for healthcare leads?

A Business Associate Agreement is included on every plan and US data is hosted on AWS in the United States. WhatsApp itself is not covered by any BAA, so keep health information off WhatsApp and in your intake forms.
