Time isn’t just money, it’s momentum.
And most founders are leaking it every single week.

Manual tasks. Follow-ups. Missed leads. Overdue emails.
Things that could be running without you, but aren’t.

At Rewrite, we’ve helped brands reclaim dozens of hours a month just by setting up smart automations that run in the background while they work, sleep, or scale.

Here are five automations that aren’t just time-savers, they’re conversion multipliers.

1. Welcome Flows That Actually Sell

Most welcome emails? Forgettable.
The kind that actually perform? Built like a mini funnel.

Introduce your brand, offer real value, segment fast, and guide them to the next step. One client saw a 71% open rate and daily buy-ins from a welcome flow we built around just one offer.

Use for: App downloads, product onboarding, lead magnets
Tool tip: Klaviyo, Flodesk, ActiveCampaign

2. Abandoned Checkout That Doesn’t Just Chase, It Converts

Too many automations sound like needy exes.
“Hey! You forgot something!” isn’t a strategy.

The truth? If someone left your checkout page, there’s a reason.
Your follow-up should solve that, not just remind them.

We build abandoned checkout flows that:

• Reframe the value: Remind them what they’re missing, not what they forgot.

• Tackle objections: “Still unsure if this is right for you?” → insert FAQ-style reassurance or review.

• Add urgency: Time-sensitive bonuses or limited spots that make inaction feel costly.

• Offer alternatives: Downsell or redirect to a smaller product or freebie to stay in the funnel.

It’s about meeting the customer where they dropped off, and giving them a reason to come back.

Use for: Digital or physical products
Tool tip: Shopify + Klaviyo, Rebuy, Mailchimp

3. Lead Capture → Nurture → Booked Call

Capture once. Convert consistently.

A well-built funnel takes your lead from “curious” to “where do I sign?”

The formula:

• Lead magnet: Solves a specific pain point fast.

• Nurture sequence: Delivers trust, value, and relevance over a few key emails.

• Conversion CTA: One clear next step, usually a call or consult.

No chasing. No cold DMs. Just a system that works while you focus on delivery.

Use for: Coaches, consultants, agencies
Tool tip: Typeform + Zapier + your email platform

4. Retargeting Based on Behaviour

They clicked. They stalled. Now’s the moment to re-engage.

Retargeting isn’t about shouting louder, it’s about showing up smarter.

Trigger touchpoints based on what people actually do:

• Viewed your sales page? Show them a testimonial.

• Engaged with your pricing? Send a value stack.

• Opened all your emails but didn’t buy? Introduce urgency.

Retargeting like this brings people back into your world without starting from scratch, and without burning out your list.

Use for: Warm lead re-engagement
Tool tip: Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Google Ads

5. Win-Back Sequences That Reactivate Dead Leads

They dropped off. Now bring them back.

A strong win-back sequence doesn’t guilt trip.
It repositions the value, reopens the loop, and reminds them what they’re missing.

What works:

• A short, punchy re-intro email (bonus if it includes a shift or new insight)

• A clear value hook, not just “come back,” but why now

• A low-friction CTA (discount, free resource, limited slot)

The goal isn’t to get everyone back. It’s to re-engage the ones who were already nearly sold.

Use for: Lapsed clients, dormant users, low-engagement subscribers
Tool tip: Klaviyo, Flodesk, Mailchimp

If your business needs you to be in the room to make money, you’ve built yourself a ceiling.

Smart automations remove that limit.
They free up time, reduce manual errors, and keep your pipeline moving, even when you’re not.

Build once. Improve over time.
Let the system do the heavy lifting, so you can focus on what actually moves the needle.
