π Help Guide: Outreach Volume for Lead Nurture
Section: Winning Behaviors Topic: Outreach Volume Purpose: To help users master the outbound call and message cadence necessary to convert leads into scheduled, confirmed appointments using system tools like Power Dialer, Call Connect, and Voicemail Drops.
π¨ Why Outreach Volume Matters
Once youβve nailed availability and speed, the next mission-critical behavior is consistent and high-volume outreach.
Leads donβt always reply right away. Many are busy, distracted, or hesitant. Outreach is not just a one-and-done β itβs a multi-touch process across multiple channels: calls + texts + voicemail.
π The Golden Rules of Outreach
π Make Phone Calls β Not Just Texts
-
50% of scheduled appointments come from phone calls.
-
Calls build trust and improve show-up rates due to actual conversation.
-
Relying only on texts will cause you to miss half of your sales opportunities.
βοΈ Minimum Call Cadence (First 72 Hours):
| Timeframe | Action |
|---|---|
| Within 3 days | β€ Call leads at least 5 times |
| Across those calls | β€ Leave at least 2 voicemails |
π This usually means calling:
-
Twice a day for 3 days
-
Voicemail on call 1 and call 3 (automated, see below)
π Call Unconfirmed Appointments 24 Hours Before
| Situation | Action Required |
|---|---|
| Lead confirmed via text | β No phone call needed |
| Lead unresponsive via text | βοΈ Must call 24 hours before |
This step significantly increases show rates and fills your calendar with confirmed, prepared leads.
π οΈ Built-In Tools That Make This Easy
1. π Call Connect for Unconfirmed Appointments
-
HighLevel auto-calls your cell with a prompt:
"You have an unconfirmed appointment. Press any key to call now."
-
Press any key β It dials the lead from your business number and connects the call back to your phone.
π² Just answer the call when it comes in.
2. π Power Dialer
-

-
Have opted in
-
Have not scheduled
-

π When to Use It:

π
Minimum: 5 days a week
