Help and guidance for Getting started guide.
This guide helps you get the best results on Blooio (higher reply rates, safer sending, fewer “green number” issues).
Blooio is strongest when you treat every message like a real 1:1 conversation.
What to do on Blooio:
Your first text should usually be 1–2 lines.
✅ Do:
❌ Avoid:
When you text a lead for the first time, start with a short intro:
“Hi {FirstName} — this is {YourName} from {Company}.”
Why: This helps iOS recognize you as a real contact, so future texts/calls are more trusted.
Important: You only need this intro once per lead. After that, continue naturally.
If a lead just opted in (form fill, inbound lead, etc.), timing matters.
Best window: 3–7 minutes after opt-in
The first reply unlocks better deliverability + trust + conversion.
Ask something that can be answered with a quick “yes/no” or 1–2 words.
Examples:
Avoid open-ended prompts like:
Do not send media until the lead replies at least once.
Media includes:
Why:

Too many follow-ups hurts reputation and can increase spam reports.
Recommendation: No more than 4 follow-ups for an unresponsive lead.
Suggested cadence:
Examples:
After 4 no-reply touches:
“Hi Sam — this is Tristan from Blooio.”
“Did you still want help setting this up?”
“Awesome — quick one: are you using HighLevel or something else?”
“Perfect — here’s the 60-sec setup video: {link}” or “Want a quick walkthrough? Here’s my calendar: {link}”
