Sent a quote and heard nothing back? You're not alone — most jobs are won on the second or third follow-up, not the first. Fill in a few details and get a ready-to-send follow-up email or text in seconds. No signup, no cost.
Messages update as you type. Nothing is sent or saved — copy what you like.
A good follow-up reminds your customer you're ready to help — it doesn't pressure them. The contractors who win the most jobs aren't the cheapest; they're the ones who stay in touch after the quote goes out. Here's a simple approach that works.
Wait two business days after sending the quote, then send a short check-in. A reliable cadence is day 2, then a week later, then one final note a week after that. Most replies come on that second or third touch.
Offer to answer questions or adjust the scope instead of asking "did you decide yet?". Silence usually means the customer got busy — not that they picked someone else.
End with a clear, low-effort next step: "Reply and I'll get you on the schedule." Giving people permission to say no also gets you a faster answer, so you can stop chasing dead leads.
Bidrails tracks every quote you send and reminds you exactly when to follow up — so the right message goes out at the right time, automatically.
