The problem

Quotes go out, then go dark.

A homeowner calls for a quote. Your estimator drives out, walks the job, sends the quote that afternoon. Then what? Statistically: nothing. Most shops have a 25–40% close rate on quotes — and the bulk of the gap is lack of follow-up, not price.

The homeowner is comparing your quote to two others. They'll book with whoever stays top of mind without being pushy. That means a warm, friendly follow-up at day 3, day 7, and day 14. Which almost no shop actually does.

An AI agent handles the entire quote-to-job flow — from initial request through appointment reminders through follow-up through review ask. Your team focuses on the work on the job site.

The playbook

The six-step quote-to-job workflow, step by step.

Each step shows what the agent does autonomously and what your team sees on their end. Human approval gates are marked.

01

Agent captures and routes

Homeowner requests quote
Agent does

Form, call, web chat — agent captures every detail, assigns the right estimator based on location and specialty.

Your team sees

Job lead lands in your system with all the context needed to show up prepared.

02

Agent confirms and nudges

Appointment booked with reminders
Agent does

Appointment confirmation texts. 48-hour reminder. 24-hour reminder. Day-of "on my way" text. No-show rate drops by half.

Your team sees

Customer shows up. Estimator arrives prepared. Everyone's on the same page.

03

Agent sends the quote with a warm opener

Quote sent, immediate response drafted
Agent does

Estimator finishes the walkthrough, quote goes out within an hour. Agent attaches photos, written scope, line-item pricing, optional add-ons.

Your team sees

Customer gets a professional-feeling quote fast. Beats the competitor still typing theirs.

04

Warm, soft check-in

Approval gate Day 3 follow-up
Agent does

Short friendly text: "Hey — Jordan from [Shop]. Just making sure the quote came through OK. Happy to answer any questions."

Your team sees

Dashboard shows who's responded, who hasn't, who's hot.

05

Agent offers a scheduling slot

Day 7–14 follow-up with reason to book
Agent does

"Just wanted to let you know we have availability next week if you wanted to get this on the calendar."

Your team sees

Most closes happen on this touch. Zero manual effort.

06

Agent asks for the Google review

Job completed → review ask
Agent does

Job finishes. Next morning, agent texts "How did we do?" with a one-tap 5-star / needs-work option. 5-star taps go direct to Google.

Your team sees

Your Google Business Profile fills up with reviews. Automatically.
