"I was driving away from a $4,200 plumbing job and texted the estimate before I got to the stop sign. Lady signed it before I hit the highway. That never happened with my old system — I'd get home, eat dinner, forget about it, and the lead was cold by morning."
"Roofing season in Houston — I'm hitting three inspections a day after a hailstorm. Used to take me an hour at night to write up the estimates. Now I'm sending them from the truck while my helper is packing up the ladder. Closed two deposits on my way home last Tuesday."
"Concrete work — every job site quote is different. I used to write it up on a napkin and tell 'em I'd email it later. Half those leads never called back. Now I build the estimate in the truck, they sign it standing in the driveway. My close rate is up and I stopped chasing people."
