Automate the Boring Stuff: 5 Tasks Every Small Business Owner Should Outsource to Technology
Automate the Boring Stuff: 5 Tasks Every Small Business Owner Should Outsource to Technology
You're working 10+ hour days, juggling client work, admin, lead follow-up, and maybe even school runs—and you're still falling behind.
What if you could get more done in less time without hiring staff?
The Real Problem
Most small business owners are stuck in the weeds:
Manually replying to emails
Chasing invoices
Forgetting to follow up with leads
Posting to social media late at night
Struggling to keep track of it all
It’s exhausting, inefficient—and it’s stopping you from growing.
The Simple Solution
It’s time to automate the boring stuff.
You don’t need to be a tech expert.
You just need to know what to automate—and how to do it without overwhelm.
5 Tasks You Should Be Automating Right Now
1. Lead Capture & Follow-Up
Set up forms on your website that trigger email or SMS follow-ups the moment someone enquires.
Use a system like Go HighLevel (we white-label this under The Business Revival Co) to send:
Instant “thank you” emails
Nurture sequences
Appointment links
2. Review Requests
After completing a job or delivering a service, send an automated message asking for a Google review.
Follow up again in 48 hours if they haven’t responded.
3. Social Media Scheduling
Stop posting on the fly!
Use tools like Go HighLevel or Metricool to:
Batch-create content
Schedule it for the week/month
Recycle evergreen posts
This saves hours of creative energy and mental load.
4. Appointment Booking
Instead of back-and-forth DMs, let clients:
Book straight from your website
Pick available time slots
Receive automated reminders via email and text
No more chasing. Fewer no-shows. More control.
5. Pipeline & Task Management
You should never have to ask: “Where did that lead go?”
Use a visual pipeline to track:
New leads
Quotes sent
Follow-ups
Jobs booked
Add automation to trigger reminders, emails, or internal tasks based on lead stage.
