Best Practices & Playbooks
Best Practices & Playbooks
Proven, cross-feature workflows to grow your business.
Speed-to-lead playbook: respond to new leads in under 5 minutes
Wire a workflow that calls and texts every new lead within minutes using a SAMI Bot.
Best practices for setting up your first SAMI Bot
Start from a preset and personalize the right fields to launch a SAMI Bot that sounds natural and qualifies leads well.
Writing qualification questions that actually convert leads
Choose and word the questions your SAMI Bot asks on the call so leads stay on the line and answer.
Designing a new-lead nurture cadence with workflows
Build a multi-touch nurture cadence that calls, texts, and emails new leads over days until they reply.
The outcome-actions cheat sheet: what should happen after every call
A proven set of post-call actions for each of SAMI's eight canonical call outcomes, from follow-up tasks to compliant opt-outs.
The warm-transfer playbook: routing hot leads to the right agent live
Set up live warm transfers so your SAMI Bot hands a qualified, interested lead straight to a human agent on the same call.
Stop double-texting: pausing automation when a lead replies or opts out
Pause SAMI and your workflows the moment a lead replies or opts out, so automation never talks over a live conversation.
Lead scoring and prioritization: focus your day on the right contacts
Use stages, tags, lead score, and Smart Lists to work your hottest contacts first every day.
Segmentation playbook: smart lists that drive automated follow-up
Build reusable smart lists on Contacts, then turn each segment into automated follow-up.
Reactivating your database: bulk-enrolling old leads into a SAMI Bot
Re-qualify a list of aged or dormant leads at scale by bulk-enrolling them into a SAMI Bot.
Re-engaging cold and aged leads without burning out your database
Win back quiet leads with one AI call and a single follow-up text, then route only re-engaged contacts to a live agent.
Staying compliant: TCPA, opt-outs, and quiet hours best practices
How SAMI keeps outbound automation TCPA-safe with locked opt-outs, quiet hours, and A2P registration.
Routing leads fairly across your team
Distribute incoming leads evenly across your agents so every lead has a clear owner and nothing falls through the cracks.
