3 ways to improve quote responses… without chasing or sounding desperate!

3 ways to improve quote responses… without chasing or sounding desperate!

February 25, 20262 min read

Are you sending out quotes and then just waiting, hoping the phone rings?

It's frustrating, isn't it, feeling like you're losing control of your pipeline after all that effort

You've done the legwork, measured up, and sent the quote, but then what?

Don't let good enquiries slip away

You don't need to rent customers from Checkatrade and then hope they pick you, you need to own your follow up process

Here are 3 ways to follow up with prospects that don't feel spammy, but show you care about the job:

1. The "Did you get it?" Check-in: A simple call or text 24-48 hours after sending the quote. "Just checking you received the quote okay and if you had any initial questions." This confirms receipt and opens the door for dialogue.

2. Highlight a Key Benefit: If you know a specific pain point they mentioned, follow up with a quick message like, "I was thinking about your concern regarding X, and our solution Y directly addresses that." This shows you listened and are thinking about their needs.

3. Offer a Quick Chat: "Happy to jump on a quick 5-minute call to walk through anything, no pressure at all." This makes it easy for them to ask questions without feeling like they're committing to a long sales pitch.

This proactive approach works

Just look at Ollie, one of our clients, who received 3 leads in a day

He’s sending written quotes tonight and already has a couple more to ring when he's home

That's the kind of consistent, quality pipeline you get when you own your process

If you're tired of waiting for leads from Checkatrade or Bark, and want to own your pipeline with qualified enquiries direct to your phone, it's time for a change
