The Client Capture Crash Course
Follow-Up Sequences: Closing the Quotes You Already Sent
You will learn the exact 14-day follow-up structure that turns "I will think about it" into booked work.
The Problem
You spent real time on that quote. Site visit, measurements, numbers. You sent it. The customer said it looked good and they would get back to you. That was nine days ago.
Most owners follow up once, feel like they are being pushy, and stop. The quote goes in the mental "lost" pile. But silence almost never means no. It means the customer got busy, the email got buried, or they are waiting on a spouse, a board, or a budget.
The follow-up that wins these jobs is not one awkward "just checking in" call. It is a short sequence of messages, spaced out over two weeks, that keeps you in front of the customer without you having to remember anything.
Nobody runs this manually. You will do it for a week, then a job will blow up your schedule and the whole thing falls apart. It only works when the sequence runs on its own.
The Workflow
How It Works, Step by Step
-
You send the quote like you always do
Nothing about your quoting process changes. The system just knows a quote went out and starts a timer.
-
Day 2: a short check-in
A simple text: "Wanted to make sure the quote came through okay. Any questions on it?" Low pressure, easy to answer, and it surfaces objections early while the job is still warm.
-
Day 7: a useful question
Not "did you decide yet?" Something that moves the conversation: a scheduling note, a material option, a question about their timeline. It reads like you are thinking about their job, because the message was written that way on purpose.
-
Day 14: the final message
A polite close-out: "Going to assume the timing is not right and close this out on my end. If anything changes, you have my number." This message gets more replies than any other in the sequence. People hate losing an open door.
-
A reply at any point stops the sequence
The moment the customer responds, the automated messages stop and you take over like a normal human conversation. Nobody ever gets a robot message after they have already answered.
What This Looks Like in Real Life
An HVAC contractor quotes a $9,000 system replacement. The homeowner says they need to talk to their spouse. Normally that quote dies quietly. Instead, the day 7 message asks whether they want to get on the schedule before the summer rush. The homeowner replies "honestly we got busy, can you still do the week of the 15th?" One automated text recovered a job the contractor had mentally written off, and he never had to remember to send it.
