Chase down unsold plumbing estimates
Water heater, repipe and sewer line estimates get a steady run of polite follow-ups until the homeowner decides.
Water heater, repipe and sewer line estimates get a steady run of polite follow-ups until the homeowner decides.
Also written up for HVAC: Follow up on every unsold estimate · Roofing: Follow up on unsigned roof estimates.
You send a lot of estimates and nobody owns the follow-up.
You already call every open estimate on a schedule.
Your field software sends planned follow-ups after an estimate goes out and stops when the customer replies. Jobber includes automated quote follow-ups on its Connect plan. If your software can't do it, Zapier can connect your estimates to texts or emails, and Claude can write messages that sound like you.
Nobody has published results for this one yet, so this use case rests on my judgment. If you’ve done it, tell me how it went.

Use a normal week, not your best one.
Big-ticket estimates like repipes and sewer lines take time to build, then sit. Without a follow-up, a lot of them quietly go to someone cheaper or never happen.
0.5 to 1.5 hrs a week: Following up on 8 to 15 open estimates a week at about 5 minutes each. Rounded down. The value is in the jobs you win back.
Three or four over two weeks is common, stopping the moment they reply. After that, a person should decide whether to call.
Housecall Pro sells a Pipeline add-on with automated estimate follow-ups. It doesn't publish the price, so ask your rep.
