The Problem This Solves

High-ticket quotes ($8K-$200K) die in procurement committees, co-op boards, and slow decision processes. The contractor who follows up most consistently wins 60% of contracts. Most contractors send one follow-up email and stop.

How It Works — Step by Step

1

Quote sent and not responded to within 3 days

Action: First follow-up: 'Checking in on the proposal — any questions I can answer?'

15-20% of stale quotes reactivate at this stage

2

No response after 7 days

Action: Second touch: value-add content (energy savings data, seasonal urgency, case study)

Prospect re-engaged with relevant information

3

No response after 14 days

Action: Third touch: direct ask — 'Are you still evaluating? Happy to adjust the scope'

Decision accelerated or objection surfaced

4

No response after 21-30 days

Action: Final touches: urgency-based messaging (seasonal deadlines, price increases, schedule availability)

Last-chance recovery — captures 10-15% of otherwise-dead quotes

Questions About This Automation

Won't automated follow-up annoy our customers?

Professional, value-driven follow-up is expected in B2B services. We're not spamming — we're providing relevant information through a decision process. Clients who find it annoying weren't going to buy anyway.

What's the recovery rate?

Consistent 6-touch follow-up recovers 20-35% of quotes that would otherwise die. On a $50K average quote, that's substantial revenue.

Can we customize the messaging by niche?

Every sequence is niche-specific. Boiler contractors get seasonal urgency messaging. Marine diesel shops get haul-out schedule reminders. Hardscaping companies get design inspiration content.

Does this work for really big quotes ($100K+)?

Especially for big quotes. The larger the deal, the longer the decision process. Marine diesel and aviation clients can take 4-8 weeks. Without follow-up, you're forgotten by week 3.

What's the ROI?

Recovering 2-3 stale quotes per quarter at niche-typical ticket sizes adds $50K-$300K in annual revenue depending on your niche. The system pays for itself with one recovered quote.
