Every DM you're not answering is a sale somebody else answers. AI DM automation fixes that — Gleemo is the system I use for turning social DMs and comments into booked calls.
The automation ladder
Level 1 — Keyword triggers. Someone comments "INFO" or clicks your link → they instantly get the resource or link in their DMs. Zero manual work, 24/7.
Level 2 — Qualifying questions. The bot asks 2–3 questions (goal, timeline, budget range) before handing off. You only talk to qualified people.
Level 3 — Booked calls. Qualified leads get your calendar link with a pre-filled context note. You wake up to appointments, not chats.
The setup workflow
- Map your top 5 DM intents: pricing, support, partnership, "how do I start", general fan mail
- Write one great response template per intent — same voice as your content
- Build keyword triggers for each (comment → DM flows)
- Add qualifying questions only for the sales intents
- Review transcripts weekly and fix the two worst-performing replies
Rules that keep it feeling human
- The automation delivers; YOU close. Any hint of a real question gets a personal reply within 24h
- Never fake availability — the goal is speed, not pretending you're not the one running a business
