Most builders think follow up is about sending more emails or calling more often. In reality, the most successful OSC and sales teams follow a simple framework that focuses on timing, messaging, and consistency.
Step one: respond immediately
Speed creates trust. Buyers expect a response right away. A quick automated email paired with the right follow up task sets the tone and increases your chance of connecting.
Step two: mix channels
Top performing teams do not rely on one channel. They use email, text, and phone together. Each touch point reinforces the next and increases engagement.
Step three: have a set sequence
A good follow up sequence is not long. It is consistent. A clear set of touches over the first 3 to 5 days keeps the buyer engaged without overwhelming them. Teams know exactly what to send and when to send it.
Step four: hand off with clarity
Once a buyer is ready for a community visit or pricing conversation, the transition from OSC to sales needs to be smooth. A defined handoff creates a better buyer experience and improves appointment quality.
Small changes make a big impact
A simple, structured framework helps teams book more appointments with less effort. It removes guesswork, reduces variation, and ensures every prospect receives the same strong experience.
