The local picture

Your quotes are dying in silence

A homeowner in FishHawk Ranch gets three quotes for a roof repair. A family in Valrico prices a kitchen remodel with two contractors. A landlord in Riverview needs a dozen units repainted and asks everyone. In Brandon's growth corridors, from Bloomingdale to Seffner, homeowners collect quotes the way they collect mail. Then they go quiet. And the contractor who follows up has the edge.

Follow-up is the part that slips. You quoted the job Tuesday between site visits, meant to check in Friday, and by the next week you are on a roof in Lithia and the quote is forgotten. The homeowner assumes you are not interested, or books the contractor who texted back. Quotes die in silence, not on price. Your quote was fine. Your follow-up did not exist.

A 3-touch follow-up over 7 days fixes it without you remembering a thing. Two days after the quote, a thank-you text with an open door for questions. Day five, a useful nudge: material lead times, a schedule opening, an answer to the question they asked on site. Day seven, a clean close that keeps the quote open without begging. Every reply routes to your phone in seconds. The point is a quote that stays visible instead of forgotten, without discounting a single job.

How it works

How it works this week

We set it up from how you quote today, even if that is a paper estimate and a handshake. You approve every message once.

  1. Log the quote once

    Job type, price, and quote date go in when you send it: a text, a photo of the estimate, or a quick form. Thirty seconds.

  2. Touch one goes out on day two

    A thank-you text: good meeting them, the quote is attached again for convenience, happy to answer anything. Short and warm.

  3. Touch two adds value on day five

    Something useful, not pushy: current lead times on materials, a schedule opening next month, or the answer to a question from the walkthrough.

  4. Touch three closes cleanly on day seven

    A polite close: the quote stays open through a date, and if they went another direction you would love to know why. No guilt, no pressure.

  5. Replies route to you in seconds

    Any response, question, objection, or yes, lands on your phone in seconds. The system stops the sequence the moment a human conversation starts.

  6. Track won and lost

    Every quote ends marked won, lost, or dormant. Dormant quotes get one recheck in 30 days. You finally see your real close rate.

In practice

What the homeowner sees

The full sequence, exactly as a quoted homeowner would experience it.

The 3-touch sequence

Exactly what the homeowner receives.

Day 2 (auto): Hi [Name], thanks for having me out Tuesday. Your quote for [job] is attached again here. Any questions at all, just reply.

Day 5 (auto): Quick note [Name]: material lead times for [job type] are running a few weeks right now, and I have an opening in [month]. Happy to lock your spot if the timing works.

Day 7 (auto): Hi [Name], I will keep your quote open through [date]. If you went another direction, I would appreciate knowing why. Either way, thanks for considering us.

When they reply

The handoff back to you.

Any reply pauses the sequence instantly. No more automated texts to someone you are talking with.

A yes gets flagged hot and pushed to your phone with the quote details attached.

Objections like too expensive get one honest reply template you approve in advance, then it is your conversation.

A no triggers a gracious close and a review request, not a guilt trip.

Questions

Follow-up questions, answered

What Brandon contractors ask before automating quote follow-up.

Will follow-up texts annoy homeowners?

The sequence is built to be welcome, not noisy: three short texts over a week, every one useful or courteous, and one reply stops it. It is a fair worry for a contractor to have, but the sequence exists to keep your quote visible instead of forgotten.

What if they already hired someone else?

Then touch three gives you a clean, gracious exit and often a reason: price, timing, or a cousin in the trade. You keep that reason, and it feeds into how you quote next time. And if the cheap bid falls through months later, you are the contractor who stayed gracious.

Can I approve the messages before they go out?

Yes. Start in approval mode and every text waits for your okay. Once the wording looks solid, switch to autopilot. You can pull any quote back to manual any time.

Does it know the details of each quote?

It uses the job type, price, and dates you logged when you sent the quote, so messages reference the actual work, not generic filler. A roof quote in Valrico and a remodel quote in Riverview get appropriately different follow-ups.

What about commercial jobs with longer sales cycles?

You set a longer cadence for commercial work: touches spread over weeks instead of days, with check-ins tied to bid dates. The same principle holds: the sequence keeps a contractor on the property manager's radar.

How is this different from just emailing them?

Email follow-up is better than nothing, but a contractor's quote email can get buried in a busy inbox. The sequence runs on text instead, because a text is hard to miss and easy to reply to.
