Does Any of This Sound Familiar?
You're out on a job, and your phone rings—but you can’t answer. By the time you call back, that lead’s gone.
,
You’ve tried lead services like Angi, Nextdoor, or HomeAdvisor, only to find the leads were shared with multiple companies.
Referrals are great when they come in, but there’s no real system to keep new jobs coming in consistently.
.
You’re frustrated as many of those leads weren’t even qualified, wasting your time and money.
.
Deep down, you know you’re losing jobs—not because of your work, but because you’re too busy to chase leads.
.
You’ve invested in marketing tools, but they’re complicated, time-consuming, and don’t fit how your business actually runs.

Introducing the Step Beyond Leads System™
We help you capture leads, earn trust, and grow on autopilot -
without adding more work to your plate.
⚡ Automated Lead
Follow-Up
No more missed leads! Automatically text & email your leads as soon as they come in so you're first to respond (and first to win the job).
Forget “remembering” to call back. Let automation handle it.
📮 All Your Conversations in
One Place
Manage every lead from Google, Facebook, Instagram, your website, and text all in one place.
No more jumping between platforms or missing DMs.
Stay organized, respond faster, and never let a lead slip through the cracks.
🌟 Boost Your Online Reviews,
On Autopilot
Never forget to ask for a review again with our auto review funnel. Elevate your company’s reputation with more Google 5-star reviews, which helps drive more business & appear higher on the google searches.
Better reviews = higher search rankings + more trust.
📬 Book More Appointments
Using Calendars
No more phone tag. Leads are simply not enough... We'll install a calendar into your online sales process, so prospects can book a "phone call consultation" with your company —right when they’re most interested.
You stay in control, they stay impressed.
🤖 Your 24/7 AI Employee

Speed to Lead: Why Following Up Fast Wins More Jobs
When a potential customer reaches out, your response time can make or break the sale. In today’s fast-moving world, homeowners expect fast answers—and if you’re slow to follow up, you might lose the job before you even knew it existed.
Let’s explore why “Speed to Lead” matters, and how you can use simple automation tools to follow up fast, book more jobs, and stop leaving money on the table.
The Harsh Reality of Slow Response Times
Picture this: A homeowner’s garage door suddenly won’t open. They search Google and request quotes from three local companies. Only one responds right away. The others? They follow up hours—or days—later.
By then, it’s too late.
📊 Studies show that businesses that respond within the first 5 minutes are 100x more likely to make contact than those that respond even 30 minutes later.
That’s because when people need a home service, they’re often in a hurry. If you don’t respond fast, your competitors will.
Why Speed Builds Trust
Speed isn’t just about being first—it’s about making a strong first impression.
When you follow up right away:
You show potential customers that you’re organized, professional, and easy to work with.
You reduce stress for homeowners who are already frustrated or anxious.
You give yourself a better chance of booking the job—before someone else does.
In a competitive space like home services, every missed call or delayed message is a missed opportunity.
The Step Beyond Solution
At Step Beyond Now, we built the Step Beyond Leads System™ to help you follow up instantly—without adding more to your already busy day.
Here’s how it works:
⚡ Automated Follow-Up
As soon as a new lead comes in, they get an instant text or email from your company. You stay top-of-mind without lifting a finger.
🤖 AI Assistant
Our 24/7 AI handles common questions, qualifies leads, and even books appointments—so you never miss a chance to win new business.
📅 Booking Calendar
Let prospects schedule a call or consultation without waiting. No more back-and-forth or phone tag.
Real Results from Real Speed
“Since using the Step Beyond Leads System, we respond within 90 seconds. We’ve seen a 40% jump in booked jobs. I no longer worry about missing calls when I’m on a ladder or in the truck.”
— Brian M., Garage Door Installer
When your system follows up for you, you’re free to focus on the job at hand—knowing no lead gets left behind.
Final Thoughts: Speed = Success
If you’re not the first to follow up, you’re probably not winning the job. The good news? You don’t have to do it all yourself.
With the right systems in place, you can:
Follow up faster
Earn more trust
Book more business—automatically
