Estimate follow-up cadence
Assign one owner per estimate until booked or closed.
- Within 30 minutes: thank-you plus two booking windows
- Day 1: recap scope and answer top objection
- Day 3: urgency plus easy approve-and-schedule link
- Day 7: final close-the-loop message
Connect estimates to the schedule
Track time-to-first-touch, estimate-to-book rate, and no-show rate by job type.
Review weekly before peak season to adjust timing—not message volume.
