What Happens After the Lead Arrives?

A business can spend thousands generating a new enquiry and still lose the opportunity because nobody responds quickly enough.

The same problem appears in different ways:

  • Website enquiries waiting in an inbox
  • Missed calls that aren’t returned
  • WhatsApp messages buried in conversations
  • Quotes that aren’t followed up
  • Appointments without reminders
  • Leads sitting in spreadsheets
  • Sales teams unsure who owns the next action
  • Previous customers never contacted again

BlinkNow Automation helps make sure the next step happens.

What Does the Monthly Fee Cover?

The monthly automation fee covers the agreed level of:

  • Workflow monitoring
  • Technical support
  • Routine optimisation

  • Performance monitoring
  • Reporting

Major new workflows, new departments, complex integrations or major scope expansions are quoted separately.

Third-Party Costs

Your BlinkNow fee is separate from external software and usage charges.

Depending on the solution, third-party costs may include:

  • CRM licences
  • WhatsApp Business messaging
  • SMS
  • Email delivery
  • Telephone numbers
  • Voice minutes
  • AI model usage
  • API usage
  • Hosting
  • External software subscriptions

This distinction is especially important for automation because usage costs can increase as the system becomes more successful.

Current South African automation providers similarly distinguish implementation/service fees from WhatsApp, voice, AI and other platform consumption costs.
