How to Stop Quote requests take too much time

Quote requests take time but don't always convert:

Customers call for quotes:

• You stop work to take call
• Explain pricing over phone
• They say "I'll think about it"
• Never hear back

The waste:

• 20 quote calls/month × 10 minutes = 3.5 hours
• Only 30-40% convert to jobs
• You spent time on 12-14 calls that went nowhere

Better approach: AI pre-qualifies, collects details, sends quote automatically. You only spend time on serious leads.

It's not your fault. Here's why it happens:

Standard service quotes You physically can't answer the phone. Your hands are full, you're in a noisy environment, or you're already on another call.

Material estimates You physically can't answer the phone. Your hands are full, you're in a noisy environment, or you're already on another call.

Labour pricing You physically can't answer the phone. Your hands are full, you're in a noisy environment, or you're already on another call.

The reality: You became a tradie to do the work, not to be glued to your phone. But modern customers expect instant answers—or they call the next person on Google.
