My entry for the @Lovable challenge: build a booking experience for a small business.
My client (hypothetical, but you know this business): Pawla, a mobile pet grooming van in West Cairo.
Before:
→ The owner takes bookings by phone and chat.
→ Every inquiry is the same back-and-forth: which area, what breed, what coat, how much, when.
→ Half of them go quiet before a time is agreed.
After:
The customer books in about 60 seconds.
→ Picks their area
→ Describes their pet (breed, coat, temperament)
→ Chooses a service, with the price up front
→ Picks a time
No calls. No haggling. No extras at the door.
The owner gets everything they used to chase for, before the van leaves the garage.
The part I'm proudest of isn't the code.
It's that every screen removes one reason to say "I'll do it later."
That's the gap between an inquiry and a booking.
A grooming brand should feel warm, that why I went with this style.
I ran out of credits before the final polish, so I'm shipping it honestly.
My app hey karrot won Lovable SheBuilds Season 4 🥕
3,413 women applied.
955 of us got in.
695 apps were submitted.
Top 30 selected by Lovable judges.
Winner in each category voted by fellow builders 😍
I built hey karrot because I've launched 20+ apps and managing marketing was always where I got stuck.. Seeing other builders vote for it tells me I'm not the only one.
There's only so much Google Sheet I can take... So I built my marketing brain into an app that I can use via MCP with the AI tools that already know my apps inside and out.
A lead who doesn't buy today isn't necessarily a lost opportunity. 🏡
Imagine someone inquires about a property but tells you they're not ready to buy yet.
What do you do?
Do you move on to the next lead and forget about them?
Or do you keep the relationship alive?
Here’s an important lesson about lead nurturing:
Not every lead is ready to buy at the same time.
Some people need to save more money. Others are still comparing properties or waiting for the right opportunity.
As a real estate professional, you can:
→ Understand what the person needs.
→ Share relevant information when appropriate.
→ Follow up at a suitable time.
→ Keep accurate notes so you remember the conversation.
A CRM can help you organize these interactions and remind you when it's time to reconnect.
The goal isn't to pressure people into buying.
It's to be helpful and stay connected until they're ready to take the next step.
Question: How do you stay in touch with potential buyers who aren't ready to purchase yet?
Your closers shouldn’t find out a lead has no budget 20 minutes into the call.
A lot of coaches and course creators let anyone book a sales call. The fix is one question on the booking form, placed before the calendar:
“How much could you realistically set aside for this?”
Has a budget: goes straight to booking a call.
“Nothing right now”: goes to a “not yet” page with free content and gets tagged so they stay warm.
Nobody gets turned away, and your sales team spends its time on calls that can actually close.
I build this kind of setup in GoHighLevel for coaches, course creators and online education brands, along with webinar funnels, follow-up automations and Meta Ads. If you want it on your funnel, message me here on Contra.
Quick add-on for anyone implementing this: I set this up in GoHighLevel so "Has Budget" → auto books, "No Budget" → goes to a value page with a Loom + gets tagged as Nurture in CRM. That way no lead is lost. If you want the exact workflow screenshot, DM me "BUDGET" and I'll send it
