What happens after someone enquires
Every new enquiry runs the same seven-day sequence, automatically — until they book, they reply, or the week runs out. This is the call script Sophie follows — updated after our call on August 31st and waiting on your yes — every text and email word for word, and exactly what happens the moment someone books.

The call, start to finish
This is exactly what Sophie says on every new enquiry. Read it and mark up anything you want changed — nothing goes into the system until you've approved it.
01
She checks she's got the right person
Sophie“Hi, is this [name]?”
02
She says who she is and why she's calling
Sophie“Hey [name] — this is Sophie from Cornerstone Family Chiropractic. We just had you submit on one of our ads a few seconds ago. Do you recall doing that?”
If they say no:
Sophie“Oh okay — just a few seconds ago we had you submit to claim our $47 two-visit to come into the clinic. I just wanted to call you to see what pains you've been dealing with, and see what time would be best to have you come in for your visit!”
If they say yes:
Sophie“Great — and I want to book you in for a time to come meet with us. But before that, would it be okay if I asked you about your pain? What's primarily bothering you or hurting right now?”
03
She works through the pain New
Everything she's told gets written onto their file, so you're not meeting a stranger.
“Whereabouts is it, mainly?”
“How long have you been dealing with it?”
“Did it start with something specific — a fall, lifting something, a car accident? Or did it just come on gradually?”
“Does it stay in your back, or does it travel down into your leg or your arm at all?”
“How bad is it on a normal day, if ten's the worst?”
“What have you already tried for it? Have you seen anyone about it — physio, massage, your doctor?”
“Have you had any imaging done — an X-ray or an MRI?”
“And what's it actually stopping you doing? Work, sleep, picking up the kids?”
What she won't do here: she asks, she listens, she writes it down. She won't tell them what's causing it, what treatment they need, or whether they're a good candidate. All of that gets the same answer — “honestly, that's exactly what the doctor works out on your first visit.”
04
She walks them into a time
She reads your live calendar first, then narrows it in three quick steps rather than leaving it open-ended.
Sophie“Okay, that all makes sense — let's get you in. We've got a few days open this week. Does [day], [day] or [day] work best for you?”
Sophie“Perfect. And are mornings or afternoons easier for you?”
Sophie“Great — I've got [time] or [time]. Which one suits?”
She can only name days and times genuinely open on your calendar. She can't invent one, and anything you've blocked off she can't see.
05
She reads it back
Sophie“So that's [day] at [time] — want me to lock that in for you?”
06
She books it
Sophie“Perfect, let me get that locked in — one sec.”
07
She collects the $47 New
Sophie“Okay [name], you're in for [day] at [time] — I've got it in the calendar. Now, what we usually do to secure your spot is collect the $47 before the visit, just to make sure no one else takes it. Is that something we can take care of with you right now?”
If yes:
Sophie“Perfect. Whenever you're ready with the card you can say it to me and I'll pop it on your file — or if you'd prefer, I can send a link to your phone and you can complete it from there. What works best?”
If neither suits:
Sophie“No problem at all — we can also take an e-transfer. I can text you our email.”
If they'd still rather not:
Sophie“No worries at all — I'll send you the link either way. Just so you know, the spot's held rather than confirmed until it's paid, so if someone else takes that time it can go to them. No pressure.”
08
She confirms the visit New
If they paid:
Sophie“Beautiful — that's gone through, so you're officially confirmed for [day] at [time].”
If they didn't:
Sophie“No problem at all — I've still got you down for [day] at [time]. The payment link's in your confirmation — once that's done your spot's locked in properly.”
Then, either way:
Sophie“I'm sending your confirmation to your email and your phone right now, so you'll have the date and time, and our address is in there as a link you can just tap and it'll pull up in your maps.”
Sophie“We'll also send over our new patient paperwork in a link for you to complete before you come in.”
Sophie“And come in about 20 minutes before your time so we can get you checked in properly.”
09
She closes it out
Sophie“And we'll give you a quick call the day before and a text a couple of hours before, just to make sure you're still good to come in. Sound alright?”
Sophie“Perfect. Thanks so much, [name] — see you [day]. Take care.”
Two things we need from you to switch this on
1. Your online paperwork link — so Sophie can send it on the call.
2. Who processes card payments for the clinic — so the $47 goes into your account, not ours.
And when you've read it
Tell us what to change — the wording, the order, the questions she asks, anything you'd add or cut. Nothing goes into the caller until you've said yes to it.
What she'll tell them if they ask
She doesn't volunteer any of this — it only comes out if the person asks. Anything not on this list, she doesn't attempt to answer.
The price
$47 total, covering both visits. Regular price $349. Once the payment link is connected, that $47 is what confirms the booking — see beat 08.
Visit one
The exam and the imaging review.
Visit two
The doctor goes through what he found, plus a decompression session.
“We'll go through all of that when you're in.” Nothing more.
Cost after the assessment
“Depends what the doctor finds — he'll walk you through it on the second visit. No obligation.”
What she will never do
These are hard limits in the system, not guidance she's asked to follow. She cannot go around them.
Never ask for or read back a card number. This does not change when the booking fee goes live — she sends a link, arranges a callback from your front desk, or gives e-transfer details. She never handles the card herself.
Never quote a success rate, or say anyone will be cured, healed or fixed.
Never react to what they tell her about their back with an opinion, a likely cause, or a view on whether they're a candidate — she asks, writes it down, and leaves it for the doctor.
Never diagnose or promise a medical outcome over the phone.
Never name a specific doctor. It's always “the doctor”.
Never claim direct billing to insurance.
Never offer a time that isn't open on your calendar — she reads it live and can only repeat what it gives her.
Never deny being automated. Asked outright, she says: “I'm an automated assistant for the clinic — but I can get you booked right now.”
Never push twice. Hesitant, bad timing, wrong number, or asked to stop — she offers the link once, apologises, and ends the call.
When the call doesn't go to plan
Every one of these ends with a person at the clinic picking it up, not with Sophie improvising.
Nobody picks up
She leaves a voicemail: “Hey [name], it's Sophie from Cornerstone Family Chiropractic — you submitted for our forty-seven dollar visit. Give me a call back at 431-500-3231, or just reply to the text I'm sending now.”
The calendar won't load
“Let me have someone call you straight back with times — is this the best number?” Then she ends the call. She will not guess a time.
The slot goes while they're deciding
She's handed the real alternatives and offers those. She never argues with the caller about the calendar.
Booking fails twice
“I'm having trouble with the booking system — I'll get someone to call you right back and lock it in.” It comes to the clinic as a human callback.
The sequence
Weighted to the front, because almost everyone who can be reached is reached in the first two days. Never two calls in a day after day one, and every call lands at a different hour so we're not always ringing at someone's busiest time.

Hi [name],
Thanks for taking our back-pain quiz. Based on your answers you're a good fit for our 2-Day Disc Relief assessment — $47 for both visits, regularly $349.
Here's what that looks like:
Visit one — a full exam. Your history, orthopaedic and neurological checks, how you're moving and standing, and a look at imaging if it's needed. The point is finding what's actually causing it.
Visit two — we go through what we found in plain terms, you get a decompression session so you can feel it for yourself, and you leave with a plan.

Hi [name],
Thought it'd help to show you exactly what you'd be booking, so there are no surprises.
Visit one — about 30 to 45 minutes. We go through your history, run the orthopaedic and neurological checks, look at your posture and movement, and review imaging if it's needed. There's no treatment on this visit. It's about working out the cause.
Visit two — where it gets useful. We walk you through what we found in plain English, you get a decompression session, and you leave with a plan for your back. If we don't think we're the right fit for you, we'll say so.
Both visits are $47 together. Book your time here →

Subject: What the $47 covers
Hi [name],
Quick one on cost, since it's usually the question people want answered before they book.
$47 covers both visits. The regular price for the same assessment is $349. You pay at the clinic when you come in — nothing upfront, and nothing over the phone.
There's no obligation after the second visit. If you want to carry on with care, we'll go through the options then. If you don't, that's completely fine and there's no pressure either way.
On insurance — bring your details along and we'll go through it with you when you're in.

After
Sequence endsMarked unreachable — no further contactThey stay in the system with their full history. If they ever reply or book, they pick straight back up as a live patient.
The moment someone books
A booking stops the seven-day sequence dead. From that point the patient is on the reminder track instead, and the clinic gets told immediately.

The seven-day sequence, all five calls, every text and email, the booking itself, and the instant confirmation to the patient and to your Slack.
Built, not switched on
The 72-hour / 24-hour / 2-hour reminder track, and the written call summary on each patient record. Both are ready; we want your sign-off on the wording before they start reaching your patients.
Needs you
Taking the $47 at the time of booking — blocked on your payment processor. And the online paperwork link.
The $47 — and the change you asked for
This is the one part of the system that does not yet do what you described on our call, so it's worth being exact about where it stands.
How it works today
Nothing is collected before the visit. Sophie tells them $47 covers both visits and they pay at the clinic. She is hard-blocked from asking for a card, and she refuses if one is offered.
What you asked for
The fee is paid to confirm the booking. Paid means the appointment is confirmed; unpaid means it's tentative and a paying patient can take the slot. It's what has all but ended your no-shows.
Needs your go-ahead before we build it
We can't take the payment until it runs through your processor
Money for your clinic has to land in your account, not ours, so the payment step has to be wired to whatever you already use to take card payments. Until that's connected we've deliberately left it alone rather than half-build it — a payment step that fails mid-booking loses the patient and the appointment.
Once it's connected, here's what changes: the confirmation text and email carry a payment link, the booking is marked tentative until it's paid, and it flips to confirmed the moment it clears. Sophie still never touches a card on the phone — she'd point them to the link she's just sent, and phone or e-transfer stay open as they are now.
What we need from you
Who processes card payments for the clinic today — and are you happy for the booking fee to run through that? Send us that and the online paperwork link, and we'll build both into the flow together.
Three ways it can go
The seven days above are what happens when nobody picks up. The moment someone engages, the sequence changes.
If they book — at any point
Everything above stops immediately
No more chasing. They move straight onto the reminder track — confirmation, then 72 hours, 24 hours and 2 hours before. Set out in full in The moment someone books, above.
If they answer but don't book
A much lighter touch
They've already spoken to us, so seven days of chasing would be pestering. Instead:
Right after the call — a text with the booking link so they can pick a time in their own time.
Day 3 — one more call, and only one.
Day 5 — a short text: no pressure, the spot's still there.
Then it stops. Two calls total, not five.
If they reply at any point
The automation gets out of the way
A text back, a returned call, or a booking stops every scheduled message and call on the spot. Nobody receives a chasing message after they've already responded.
The rules underneath it
Guardrails that apply to every single contact.
Calls only between 8:00am and 8:30pm, Winnipeg time. Anything triggered outside those hours waits until the next morning.
Never two calls in a day after day one, and every call lands at a different hour across the week.
No message repeats. Each one has its own job — the link, the choice, what happens, the cost, the close.
Only real appointment times are ever offered. Sophie reads live availability from the clinic calendar and cannot invent or approximate a slot. If that calendar can't be reached, she books nothing and arranges a callback instead.
Time you close is time she cannot book. Anything blocked on the booking calendar disappears from what she is allowed to offer.
No payment is ever taken over the phone, and that does not change when the booking fee goes live — a card is never read out to Sophie. Payment happens on a link or at the clinic.
No claims about outcomes. No success rates, no promises that anyone will be cured or fixed, no diagnosis over the phone.
Every call is recorded and kept, and each one is tied to that patient's file. The written summary on the record — length, whether they booked, any concern raised — is built and waiting on your sign-off, listed above.
"STOP" means stop, permanently and immediately, across every channel.
