Welcome message goals and template
Your welcome message isn’t just a casual wave – it’s setting the scene for your new lead.
This message should achieve three goals:
- Establish trust
- Demonstrate your expertise
- Set expectations

Top tips for an effective welcome message
- Proofread your message – ensure it has no mistakes or typos as these could damage your reputation and trustworthiness.
- Use paragraphs that are a maximum of two short sentences to improve readability.
- If you say you’re going to contact the lead within an hour, be sure to do so. Leads will go cold if they can’t trust you.
- Where possible, disclose the telephone number and name of the adviser who will be contacting the lead, so that they anticipate the call.
