    Your leads are leaking.
    We plug the gaps.

    Every minute without an automated follow-up system is a minute your competitors are closing your leads.

    InsideSales.com

    "The average Metro Detroit service business has 40–60% of incoming leads fall through the cracks due to slow response times, lack of follow-up systems, and disconnected tools. A properly configured CRM pays for itself within the first month."

    — HOK Internal Client Audit Data, 2023–2024

    The Problem

    Metro Detroit businesses are leaking leads.
    Right now.

    These aren't hypothetical problems. They're happening in Metro Detroit businesses every day — and every one of them has a dollar value attached.

    Missed calls with no follow-up
    A customer calls, nobody answers, they hang up and call your competitor. Without a system, that lead is gone forever.
    Avg cost: $150–$2,000 per missed lead depending on industry
    Slow response time
    Studies show 78% of customers buy from the first business that responds. If you're calling back hours later, you've already lost.
    Response time beyond 5 minutes drops conversion by 80%
    No pipeline visibility
    You don't know which leads came in, who was followed up with, or why deals didn't close. You're managing a business with a blindfold on.
    Avg business loses 23% of opportunities from no pipeline tracking
    Too many disconnected tools
    You're juggling a CRM, an email tool, a texting app, a booking system, and a review manager — none of them talking to each other.
    Avg small business wastes 8+ hrs/week on manual task switching

    The solution isn't working harder.
    It's building the right system.

    Every problem above has a fix — and it's not hiring more staff. It's deploying a system that runs 24/7, responds instantly, tracks everything, and never forgets to follow up. That's what HOK builds on Studio Escrow.

    From the moment a lead enters your world — whether through your website, a missed call, a form, or an Instagram DM — Studio Escrow captures them, contacts them, qualifies them, and moves them through your pipeline automatically.

    What changes when the system is in place:

    • Every missed call triggers an instant SMS response in under 60 seconds
    • Every form submission gets an immediate email + SMS confirmation
    • Every lead is tagged, staged, and tracked in a visual pipeline
    • Every no-show gets an automated reschedule sequence
    • Every delivered job triggers a Google review request
    • Every inactive lead gets a win-back campaign at 30 and 60 days
    • Your whole team works from one dashboard — no tool switching

    How a Lead Moves Through Your System

    CRM automation for
    Detroit businesses.

    This is what happens in Studio Escrow the moment a Metro Detroit lead enters your world — automatically, without anyone on your team lifting a finger.

    What We Build

    CRM automations we build
    for Detroit businesses.

    These are the specific systems HOK deploys on Studio Escrow for Metro Detroit clients. Each one is built, tested, and optimized before handoff — not a template you figure out yourself.

    Missed-Call Text-Back
    Every unanswered call triggers an instant SMS: 'Hi, we missed your call — how can we help?' Captures the lead before they call a competitor.
    Response < 60 seconds
    Lead Pipeline Architecture
    Custom visual pipelines with stages, custom fields, tags, and role-based access. Every lead tracked from first contact to closed deal — nothing falls through.
    Full lifecycle visibility
    Appointment Booking & Reminders

    60% fewer no-shows
    SMS & Email Automation
    Multi-touch nurture sequences, win-back campaigns, seasonal promotions, and broadcast blasts — all triggered by behavior, not manual sends.
    71% SMS open rate avg
    Review Request Sequences
