A comment becomes a conversation

Your Instagram post

Comment GUIDE and I’ll DM you my consultation guide.

Try the keyword to see the public reply and private message your follower could receive.

Example only. No message is sent to Instagram.

Explain the call before asking someone to book

A consultation guide should describe who the call is for, what you will discuss and what the person should prepare. It should not imply an outcome you cannot promise.

For a business consultant, that might mean a short outline of the project types you handle and three questions about the prospective client's current process. Keep sensitive material out of a general intake request.

For a coach, describe the scope of the introductory conversation and any relevant boundaries. A booking link alone doesn't tell a new visitor what they are agreeing to.

Use ReplyMagnet to deliver the guide from a post that explains the problem you help with.

Choose between a guide and a callback request

A GUIDE keyword can offer information without committing to a call. A CALLBACK offer should explain that you will contact the person and why a phone number is needed.

Don't send both requests into one vague campaign. A person who wants to read about your approach may not be ready to speak.

Direct access to a call guide can be useful. If you collect an email, state the next message. If you request a phone number, name the callback purpose. ReplyMagnet's plans include phone capture from $9 monthly.

Use an external booking destination for appointment selection. The booking service confirms the slot.

Keep the handoff small enough to maintain

Assign a person to review enquiries and check the booking system. Automated guide delivery does not confirm that a prospect is suitable or that an appointment exists.

A simple process can be enough:

  • Review the requested service and available contact details.
  • Respond within the timeframe you actually stated.
  • Record the booking in the calendar system.
  • Close or redirect enquiries outside your scope courteously.

If you need a CRM handoff, webhooks start at $29 monthly. Use them when they remove a real repeated task, not merely to make the setup more elaborate.

Judge enquiries by fit, not just volume

Track suitable conversations and confirmed calls separately from resource requests. Fewer enquiries can be useful if the guide helps unsuitable prospects opt out early.

Review the questions people ask after reading the guide. Repeated uncertainty about price structure, preparation or scope suggests something the resource should explain more clearly.

Test the guide and booking link from a phone before publication. If your offer changes, update both the campaign resource and the destination so they don't contradict each other.

The lead guide explains what ReplyMagnet records and where your follow-up process takes over.

Common questions

Does ReplyMagnet book the consultation?

ReplyMagnet delivers the resource or booking destination and can capture an enquiry. Your booking tool confirms the appointment and availability.

Should I ask for email and phone together?

Only if the offer gives a clear reason for both. Begin with the details needed for the next promised action.

Can I use the guide to qualify a prospect automatically?

The guide can help someone assess fit, but a captured contact is not a completed suitability assessment. Keep the final decision with the appropriate person or process.
