Episode 46 - 3 Automations That Replace 10 Hours of Hustle a Week

In this episode, Natasha reveals the 3 most powerful automations every entrepreneur should implement to reclaim 10+ hours of their time each week. If you’re constantly stuck in follow-up fatigue, manually chasing leads, or getting ghosted in the DMs, this is your permission slip to shift from chaotic hustle to calm, consistent conversion.

Key Takeaways

1. The Real Problem Isn’t Leads—It’s Follow-Up

• Most entrepreneurs don’t have a traffic issue—they have a system issue.
  
  
  
• The chaos of manual follow-up and trying to remember who asked for what costs you time and money.
  
  
  
• Automations don’t replace connection—they enhance it.
  
  
  

2. Automation #1: Comment-to-Customer™ Keyword Funnel

• Use social media comment keywords (like “INFO” or “RESET”) to trigger automated replies + DMs.
  
  
  
• Instantly send lead magnets, booking links, or product info the moment someone engages.
  
  
  
• Saves hours of manual outreach and keeps you top of mind.
  
  
  

Why it matters: You stay present in the moment your audience is interested—that’s when they buy.

3. Automation #2: 14-Touch Follow-Up Sequence

• The Conversion Impact System™ maps out a 30-day nurture flow with 14 high-converting touchpoints.
  
  
  
• Covers welcome, education, objections, testimonials, and calls to action.
  
  
  
• Most people don’t say “yes” right away—it takes 7–14 touches.
  
  
  

Why it matters: You don’t need to chase leads when you’ve already written the next 14 steps for them.

4. Automation #3: Booking + Reminder System

• Use an automated calendar that handles scheduling, time zones, confirmations, and reminders.
  
  
  
• Qualify your leads before the call with a pre-booking form.
  
  
  
• Automatically syncs with your CRM so your nurture continues after the call.
  
  
  

Why it matters: Fewer no-shows. Less time wasted. More qualified conversations.
