Common problems

Most quotes that go quietwere never a no.

You visited, measured, priced the job carefully and sent the quote. Then nothing. The customer did not say no; they got busy, had a question they did not ask, or were waiting for someone to check in. The business that follows up politely is usually the one that gets the job.

  • Quotes that never get an answer
  • 3 ways to fix it
  • No obligation

You have this if

  • You send more quotes than you win, and rarely find out why.
  • Follow-up happens only when someone remembers, usually weeks later.
  • Customers who do sign often say they "meant to get back to you".
  • Your quotes live in email threads and spreadsheets with no reminders.
  • Bigger jobs, with longer decisions, are the ones that most often go quiet.

Why it happens

  1. 01

    Big decisions take time

    A new roof, a new system or a legal matter involves money, other people and other quotes. Without a gentle nudge, the decision keeps getting put off.

  2. 02

    Questions go unasked

    Customers often have one small question about the quote, such as timing or what is included, and would rather say nothing than ask it.

  3. 03

    Nobody owns the follow-up

    Once the quote is sent, the person who wrote it moves on to the next job. Following up is everyone's job and therefore nobody's.

What it costs

The loss you neversee written down.

Every quote represents real work: the visit, the measuring, the pricing. When it goes quiet, all of that time is lost, along with the job itself.

Worse, the customer usually still needs the work done. If you do not follow up, a competitor who does will win a job you had already done most of the work for.

What fixes it

Systems, notmore effort.

    Shows every open quote, how long it has been waiting and where it came from, so nothing disappears into an inbox.

Questions

What ownersusually ask.

Won't following up annoy customers?

Not if it is spaced sensibly and useful. A message that answers a likely question or offers a call is welcome. The follow-up stops as soon as they reply or ask it to.

How long should follow-up go on for?

As long as your typical decision takes. A small repair might need a few days; a full replacement might need several weeks, with longer gaps over time.

Will the messages sound like us?

Yes. They are written in your voice, and you approve every message before anything is sent.

Does this work with our quoting software?

Often, yes, if it can send new quotes elsewhere. If not, quotes can be added from email or a simple form, and the follow-up starts from there.
