Marketing Agencies

For the prospect who messages while you're deep in client delivery

Total Ops reads every enquiry that reaches your agency across WhatsApp, email and website chat, then actions it — prospects qualified against your own fit and budget criteria, briefs gathered, packages and relevant case studies sent, discovery calls booked straight into a strategist's diary, and quiet leads followed up until they answer.

Pick an enquiry type in the diagram to see what a prospect's message triggers, which of your data it pulls, and what they get back — so your team stays on the work clients are paying for.

Retainers, project work, paid media and website builds — matched to the enquiry with the right ballpark and inclusions.

Never lets a good lead go cold

Every enquiry gets a proper reply in minutes, and quiet conversations get followed up on your cadence.

Qualifies before it books

Budget, scope, timeline and decision-maker are gathered up front, so strategist time only goes on real opportunities.

Prospects researching agencies out of hours get an answer instead of a form confirmation.

With Total Ops on the pipeline, prospects get answers while they still care.


Case study — Vysion Marketing

How Total Ops helped Vysion Marketing action every prospect, from first message to booked call

Vysion's strategists get their days back. Delivery runs to plan instead of around interruptions, and the calls that land in the diary are ones worth preparing for. That's freed up real time for the work that grows an agency — sharper creative, campaign reviews that happen when they should, and pitching for the kind of clients the team actually wants. Client accounts get more attention, the pipeline stays warm without anyone babysitting it, and the agency has taken on more retainers with the same headcount.

What it actions

Prospects qualified, calls booked, follow-ups run.

  • Qualifies every enquiry against your own budget, scope and fit criteria

    Every enquiry is read and qualified in your own words against the criteria you set — sector, budget range, scope and timeline — so non-fits are handled politely and real opportunities are flagged immediately.

  • Gathers the brief before anyone on your team reads the thread

    The brief is gathered in-thread while the prospect is engaged: what they're trying to achieve, what they've tried, who else is involved and when they want to start, all attached to the conversation.

  • Sends the right package overview, pricing guide and case studies

    The matching package overview, indicative pricing and the case studies most relevant to their sector are sent automatically, so prospects get proof at the moment they're comparing agencies.

  • Books discovery calls straight into the correct strategist's diary

    Discovery calls are booked from live calendars with the right strategist, with agenda and prep notes sent to both sides, so nobody arrives at a call cold.

  • Chases quiet proposals and stalled leads on your follow-up cadence

    Proposals that go quiet are followed up on your cadence with the right context and social proof, and either reopened or closed with a reason recorded — no more silent pipeline decay.

  • Handles routine client requests like reports, assets and status updates

    Existing client requests for reports, assets, timelines and status updates are answered same-day and logged to the account, so delivery time isn't lost to inbox admin.

Agency FAQs

What marketing agencies ask us first

Will it quote fees on our behalf?

Only within the ranges you set. It gives indicative pricing from your own fee guide and flags anything bespoke for a strategist to price properly.

How does it decide who's a fit?

You define the criteria — sector, budget floor, scope, geography, timeline. Enquiries outside them get a courteous reply and are never booked into your calendar.

Does it just reply, like an auto-responder?

No. The brief is gathered, the case studies are sent, the call is booked and the CRM is updated. The message the prospect reads is confirmation the work is already done.

Will it sound like our agency?

It's configured on your tone, positioning and service language, so replies read like the person who normally handles new business.

Can it chase proposals for us?

Yes. It runs your follow-up sequence across email and WhatsApp until the prospect responds, then hands the live conversation to your team.

Does it work with our CRM and calendars?

It connects to the systems you already run — your CRM, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, WhatsApp Business and your website chat — so bookings and notes land in the real record.

What about sensitive or high-value opportunities?

Named accounts, tenders and anything above a threshold you set are escalated straight to a person with the full thread attached, never handled automatically.
