Episode 46: 3 Automations That Replace 10 Hours of Hustle a Week
If you’ve ever felt buried under follow-ups, stuck chasing leads, or constantly reminding yourself to check your DMs “one more time,” this episode was made for you. In Episode 46 of The Digital Shift™, host Natasha Roberson uncovers the three core automations every entrepreneur should implement to reclaim 10–12 hours every single week.
And here’s the truth — you don’t have a lead problem.
You don’t have a content problem.
You have a follow-up system problem.
Natasha breaks down the exact automations inside her signature approach that help business owners shift from chaotic, inconsistent hustle to calm, predictable conversion.
Let’s dive into the big takeaways.
You Don’t Need More Leads — You Need Better Follow-Up
Most entrepreneurs obsess over getting more traffic, more followers, more engagement. But Natasha reminds us that the real bottleneck isn’t leads — it’s the lack of a system that nurtures and converts them.
What usually happens?
Someone comments “info” and you forget to respond.
A lead asks for details but disappears because you didn’t follow up fast enough.
You send out a freebie and then… nothing.
You try to “keep up” manually and burn out instead.
Manual follow-up drains time and money.
Automations don’t replace connection — they protect it by making sure nothing slips through the cracks. And that’s where the magic begins.
The 3 Automations That Save 10+ Hours Every Week
Automation #1: The Comment-to-Customer™ Keyword Funnel
This is one of Natasha’s most powerful tools because it takes advantage of real-time interest.
Here’s how it works:
Someone comments a keyword like INFO, LINK, or RESET
Automation immediately sends your DM or resource
Leads get what they need instantly
You stay top of mind while they're already in buying mode
No more manually sending links. No more missing warm leads.
This is visibility, nurtured in the exact moment your audience is paying attention.
Why it works:
People buy when their curiosity is high — not hours later when you finally check your inbox.
Time saved: 4–5 hours/week
Automation #2: The 14-Touch Follow-Up Sequence
This system is the backbone of Natasha’s Conversion Impact System™ — a prebuilt, 30-day nurture sequence that warms leads, handles objections, educates, and invites them into your offer.
Most entrepreneurs only send one or two follow-ups… and then wonder why conversions are low.
But most buyers need 7–14 touches before they’re ready to say yes.
This automation ensures every new lead receives a:
Warm welcome
Clear explanation of what you do
Story-based nurture
Value-packed education
Objection handling
Social proof
Straightforward call to action
Why it works:
You don’t chase leads.
The system does the heavy lifting while you stay focused on serving the clients you have.
Time saved: 3–4 hours/week
Automation #3: Booking + Reminder System
If your calendar is a mess, your business will be too. This automation fixes that instantly.
A professional booking system handles:
Scheduling
Time zones
Confirmations
Personal reminders
Pre-call qualification
CRM syncing
And because it runs automatically, you eliminate:
No-shows
Back-and-forth scheduling
Unqualified calls
Missed opportunities
Why it works:
Your time becomes protected. Your leads become prepared. And your CRM stays updated without you lifting a finger.
Time saved: 2–3 hours/week
Weekly Time Saved: 10–12 Hours
Automation Hours Saved Weekly
Comment-to-Customer™ Funnel 4–5 hours
14-Touch Follow-Up Sequence 3–4 hours
Booking + Reminder System 2–3 hours
Total Saved Weekly 10–12 hours
Imagine what you could do with an extra 10 hours a week — more sales, more strategy, more rest.
