For dental practices, air conditioning and pest control businesses

Your old customers are your next bookings.

We contact the people already in your system, by text from your business name and by phone with a real person, and book them straight back into your calendar.

10 bookings or your money back. Every pilot is fully guaranteed.

Booked into your calendar. No extra work for your front desk.

Your software sends one reminder. Then nobody follows up.

Most of the people who drift away aren't unhappy. They missed the reminder, meant to call back, and then life got busy.

Your front desk is flat out with the people walking in. Ringing hundreds of overdue customers one by one never makes it to the top of the list.

That's the job we take off your hands: no ads, no new website and no software to learn.

How it works

Three steps. You approve everything.

  1. A 30-minute list check

    We look at how many past customers are overdue, and tell you straight what we'd expect to book. If it's not worth doing, we'll say so.

  2. You approve every word

    You export your list, and we write the messages in your business name. Nothing goes out until you've said yes to it.

  3. 14 days of texts and calls

    We text, then a real person calls. Every yes goes straight into your calendar, and you get a report of every booking at the end.

The guarantee

10 bookings, or your money back.

We're new, and we'd rather earn your trust than ask for it. If we don't book at least 10 appointments from your list during the campaign, you get every dollar back.

  • A booking is a real appointment in your calendar, from someone we contacted.
  • No lock-in contract. One campaign, then you decide.
  • The terms are in a one-page written agreement, before you pay anything.

Who it's for

Businesses where customers are meant to come back.

Dental practices

Patients overdue for their check-up and clean, booked back in to fill the gaps in your appointment book.

Air conditioning

Every system you've installed is a service due. We book them in before summer, and old units turn into replacement quotes.

Pest control

Past customers due for their annual termite inspection, booked in while termites are active.

A good fit if you have:

1,000 or more past customers

Room in your calendar

A list you can export

Your list stays yours

Your list is used only for your campaign, under a written agreement. Every message goes out in your name with an opt-out, opt-outs come back to you, and we delete the list within 7 days of finishing.

A real person on the phone

Founder Close is run by Coen, who has spent 8+ years selling on the phone. The calls to your customers are made by a person, not a robot, and always in your business name.

Questions owners ask

Won't my customers find it annoying?

It's a reminder from a business they already chose, in your name, with an opt-out in every message. You approve every word before anything is sent.

Do you need access to our software?

No. You export a contact list once. Bookings go into your calendar however suits you best, whether that's direct access or passing them to your front desk.

Our software already sends recalls. Why would we need this?

Automated reminders catch the people who reply. We work the ones who didn't, with follow-up messages and a real phone call.

What happens after the 14 days?

You get a report of every booking and opt-out. If it worked, we can run it every month so overdue customers never build up again. If not, you're done, with no lock-in.

What does it cost?

It depends on your list and what a booking is worth to you. We'll give you a fixed price on the 30-minute call, and the guarantee covers it either way.

Find out what your list is worth.

30 minutes on the phone. We'll look at your overdue numbers together, and you'll know straight away whether it's worth doing.
