How Nimbus Boosted ROI by 320% with AI-Powered iMessage Outreach

In today’s competitive real estate market, follow-up speed and personalization can make—or break—a deal. Nimbus, a private real estate firm in Dallas, was struggling with low response rates from traditional SMS campaigns. After integrating Arnio’s AI-driven iMessage platform into their GoHighLevel funnel, they saw a dramatic lift in engagement—and a 320% ROI within just two months.

The Challenge: Stale SMS, Missed Opportunities

Nimbus had been relying on bulk SMS blasts to nurture leads. But:

• Low deliverability & engagement: Many messages never reached the inbox, and those that did felt generic.

• Manual follow-ups: Agents spent hours texting one-off reminders—time they could have spent on showings.

• Poor visibility: Tracking reply rates, call pickups, and booked appointments across campaigns was a scramble.

Traditional SMS simply wasn’t cutting through. Nimbus needed a solution that felt personal, scaled with their volume, and plugged into the sales tools they already use

The Solution: Arnio + GoHighLevel = High-Touch Automation

Nimbus layered Arnio’s AI iMessage engine on top of their existing GoHighLevel workflows:

1. Instant AI Outreach

   • Arnio sends the first message as a friendly introduction, tailored to each lead’s property interests

2. Smart Follow-Ups

   • If there’s no reply in 30 minutes, Arnio automatically sends a voice-memo “Hey, just checking in—any questions?”

3. Seamless Handoff

   • On any reply, the conversation pops into Nimbus’s GoHighLevel inbox, where an agent takes over.

4. Real-time Reporting

   • Live dashboards show call pickup rates, response times, and booked showings—updated by line, campaign, and agent.

No extra apps, no heavy dev work—just plug in Arnio’s Chrome extension and watch the numbers climb.

Results That Speak for Themselves

Within 60 days, Nimbus saw:

• +48% of leads picking up their iMessage-to-call conversion

• 2× the number of meaningful replies vs. plain SMS

• 320% return on their Arnio subscription and line costs

  
  

“Our old SMS campaigns barely moved the needle. With Arnio, we’re having real conversations—and closing faster.”

— David Mitchell, Account Executive , Nimbus
