Old Quote & Estimate Follow-Up Campaigns for Design-Build Firms

{"faqs":[{"answer":"We choose a genuine reason to reconnect — a seasonal need, an updated approach to the project, or a fresh angle on the original estimate — so it feels useful, not pushy. Every script, offer, and message is approved by you before anything is sent, and our voice is warm, patient, and permission-based. You stay in full control of how your firm is represented.","question":"How do you follow up on old design-build estimates without seeming desperate or pushy?"},{"answer":"Just your existing list — a CRM export, a spreadsheet, or even a point-of-sale list works exactly as it is. There's no software to buy or learn. We review and segment the list by recency and old quotes that never became jobs, then quote you a flat setup fee and your outreach rate at the free list review before you spend a dollar.","question":"What do I need to provide to launch an old quote follow-up campaign?"},{"answer":"We work only from lists of real customers and prospects, honor opt-outs immediately, and follow all calling and texting regulations, including TCPA and A2P 10DLC in practice. The booking flow collects explicit consent, and public copy stays plain-language — so your firm stays compliant without you managing the details.","question":"Are there compliance concerns with calling and texting past estimate prospects?"},{"answer":"Win-back style campaigns typically run two to four weeks end-to-end, with replies often coming in as soon as the first wave of outreach goes out. After the free list review and your approval of the messages, our team launches the calls, texts, and emails and routes replies into your booking process with confirmations and no-show follow-up.","question":"How long does a quote follow-up campaign take from start to booked work?"},{"answer":"Agencies chase new leads; we reactivate prospects who already know your design build firm — and reactivating a customer is roughly 5x cheaper than acquiring one. There's no software to buy, no per-seat pricing, and no surprise line items: just a flat setup fee, per-minute outreach rates, and campaign management folded into the plan. You approve every message, and we run it for you.","question":"How is this different from hiring a marketing agency or buying lead lists?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Free List Review","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Send us your estimate list in any format — CRM, spreadsheet, or point-of-sale.

Research shows the median design-build contractor converts only 73.9% of quotes to jobs, meaning over one in four estimates sits inactive despite significant upfront investment.
