How to Automate Lead & Client Tracking as a Photographer

You lose bookings when Instagram DMs sit unanswered for days while you're editing. Tracking leads in spreadsheets means missing follow-ups on high-value wedding inquiries, costing you $1,500+ per lost client.

The Current Reality

The Manual Way

Copying DM details to a spreadsheet, setting phone alarms for follow-ups, and writing emails from scratch.

4 hours per week
  1. Screenshot the Instagram inquiry and save it to a 'Leads' folder.
  2. Open Google Sheets and type in the client name, date, and event type.
  3. Set a calendar reminder to follow up in 3 days.
  4. Draft a generic email response when the reminder goes off.
  5. Update the sheet status to 'Contacted' after sending.

With Christine AI

The Christine Way

Forward DMs or voice-note lead details to Christine. She logs them in Google Sheets, schedules follow-ups, and drafts personalized responses right away.

You

Voice note: 'New lead from Insta, Sarah Jenkins, wedding Oct 12, budget $4k. Ask about availability.'

Christine

Logs lead in 'Active Leads' sheet, creates a draft email to Sarah, and sets a reminder to call if no reply by Tuesday.

You

Text: 'Did Sarah reply? If not, send a follow-up offering a coffee chat.'

Christine

Checks Gmail, confirms no reply, sends the personalized follow-up email, and updates the sheet status to 'Follow-up Sent'.

Christine

AI Secretary

Just got a DM from Mike Ross about a headshot session for his law firm. 12 people, needs it before month-end. Budget around $1,200.
9:41 AM
Got it. I've added Mike Ross to your 'Corporate Leads' sheet with a $1,200 estimated value. Want me to draft a response checking his specific dates?
9:41 AM
Yes, mention I have openings next Tuesday or Thursday afternoon. Ask if they need retouching included.
9:42 AM
Draft sent to your Gmail for review. I also set a reminder for Friday morning to follow up if he hasn't booked by then.
9:42 AM
Actually, just send it now. Looks good.
9:43 AM
Sent! I've marked the lead status as 'Proposal Sent' in your tracker. You're all set.
