Your bids are going out too late.
You won the walkthrough. He liked you. Then the number sat on your kitchen table for four days because you were on a roof until seven, and by the time it went out he'd already signed with somebody slower and worse than you.
That's not a sales problem. That's a system problem.
Three things costing you money right now
The bid that goes out on day four.
The first honest number in front of a homeowner usually wins. Not the lowest. The first. Every day you sit on a quote, somebody else is shaking a hand.
The call at 6:40 on a Tuesday.
You're wrapping up, your hands are full, it goes to voicemail. Most people don't leave one. They call the next contractor on the list, and you never knew the job existed.
The estimate that didn't close and never got touched again.
You bid forty jobs and won twelve. Nobody ever called the other twenty-eight. Some of them are still standing in a kitchen they hate.
What we put in
An agent that answers your phone.
Every call, including the ones at 6:40 and the ones on Saturday. It knows what you do, what you don't do, and what your schedule looks like. It books the estimate on the spot and texts you who called and why.
Quoting that doesn't wait for your kitchen table.
Your pricing, your line items, your markup. The quote goes out the same day, looking like it came from a company with an office.
Follow-up that runs without you.
Every bid gets a check-in. Every job gets a review request. Every homeowner who didn't sign hears from you again in ninety days.
One place to see the jobs.
What's bid, what's sold, what's scheduled, what's waiting on material, what's done and unpaid.
What it gives back
A two-truck contractor typically has somebody spending ten to twelve hours a week on scheduling, quotes, chasing subs, and typing the same job into two places. At $22 an hour, that's roughly $12,000 a year in wages spent on paperwork.
That's not about cutting anybody. It's about the same person spending those hours selling work instead of retyping it.
