Problem
The next opportunity was already in the CRM.

Manage the conversations
- →Manage text replies, CRM records, and the follow-up cadence around winter storage and service.
Business Impact
What changed after implementation
- →Approximately $12,000 in winter-storage deposits.
- →An estimated $15,000 in service and maintenance work.
- →Results came from the initial outreach to past customers.
- →Customer context guided the messages and follow-through.
Why it matters
Start with the customers who already know you.
A relevant seasonal offer gave past buyers a reason to return. SterlingAI handled the outreach and follow-through.
Client-reported results. The $27,000 combines deposits and estimated service value, not $27,000 in collected cash. Storage and service agreements may overlap in customers.
