Selling is not the problem
You know your trade and customers can tell. What costs jobs is slower and quieter: the estimate that went out late, the follow-up that never happened, the yes that was never put on the calendar.
Four parts, nothing fancy
- One list of every open job. Not texts, not sticky notes. One place.
- A standard estimate. The same layout every time, so sending one takes minutes.
- A follow-up rhythm. Decided once, so you are not deciding for every customer.
- A weekly look. Ten minutes to see what is waiting and what is due.
It has to fit the truck
If updating the system needs a desk and half an hour, it will not happen. Whatever you use must work from a phone, between jobs, in under a minute.
Start with the list
If you only do one of the four, do the first. Once every open job is in one place, the other three become obvious, because you can finally see what is being missed.
