Dave has been roofing for 19 years. Good guy. Shows up on time. Does clean work. Never cuts corners. His truck is lettered. His crew is solid.
Last Tuesday he drove 35 minutes to a house on the east side of town. Nice neighborhood. Good roof. Storm damage on the north slope. He climbed up, took pictures, measured everything, came down, and sat with the homeowner at the kitchen table for 20 minutes.
He wrote up a fair quote. Shook hands. Told the homeowner he would follow up in a couple days.
Then life happened.
Wednesday he had two jobs running. Thursday his supplier shorted him on materials. Friday he was putting out fires with a crew member who no showed. Saturday he finally had a second to breathe.
He thought about calling that homeowner back. But a week had passed. It felt weird now. Too much time. He figured the guy probably already hired someone.
And he was right. The homeowner did hire someone else. Not because their price was lower. Not because their work was better. But because that other contractor sent a simple text message the next morning that said:
“Hey Tom, just wanted to make sure you got the estimate. Any questions at all, just text me back. Happy to help.”
That is it. That is all it took. A 15 second text message. And Dave lost a job worth thousands of dollars.
If you have been in this business for any amount of time, you already know this story. Because you have lived it. Maybe last week. Maybe yesterday.
Here is what I have learned after watching contractors build and lose businesses over the years. The guys who struggle are almost never bad at their trade. They are great at their trade. What kills them is the stuff that happens between the jobs.
You spend an hour driving to the house. You spend 30 minutes measuring and talking. You spend another 30 minutes writing up the quote. That is two hours of your day, minimum. Sometimes more.
Then you send the quote and you wait. And wait. And hear nothing.
Most contractors follow up exactly zero times. Some follow up once. Almost nobody follows up properly because nobody knows what to say, when to say it, or how to say it without sounding desperate or pushy.
The homeowner is not ignoring you because they do not like you. They are ignoring you because they got busy too. Their kid got sick. They are comparing three quotes and got confused. Their spouse wants to think about it. They meant to call you back but then forgot.
All they needed was a little nudge. A friendly text. Something simple. But you did not send it because you did not know what to say. Or you felt weird about it. Or you just forgot.
And that job went to someone else.
Your phone rings while you are on a ladder. Or running a saw. Or in the middle of talking to a customer. You cannot answer it. You figure you will call them back later.
But later never comes. Or it comes four hours later. By then, that person has already called three other contractors. And one of those other guys picked up.
Here is a number that should make you uncomfortable. Research shows that about 85% of people who call a business and do not get an answer will not try again. They just move on to the next name on the list.
Think about how much you spend on ads, on your website, on your truck lettering, on HomeAdvisor or Angi leads. All that money and effort to get that phone to ring. And when it finally rings, you miss it, and that lead is gone forever.
One missed call does not feel like a big deal in the moment. But when it happens three or four times a week, it adds up fast.
You did a great job. The homeowner loved it. They shook your hand and said they would tell all their friends. But they never left you a review. And you never asked. Because asking feels awkward.
Meanwhile, the contractor down the street who does average work has 87 Google reviews and he is getting calls every day.
Reviews are the new word of mouth. When someone searches for a roofer or a plumber or an HVAC company in their town, they look at the reviews first. If you have six reviews and the other guy has sixty, you are invisible.
Most contractors know they should ask for reviews. But they never do because the timing feels off, or they do not know how to bring it up, or they send a generic email that gets ignored.
Let us do some rough math. This is not fancy accounting. This is napkin math that any contractor can follow.
| What Happens | What It Costs |
|---|---|
| One lost job per month from no quote follow up (average job) | $3,000 to $8,000 |
| Two missed calls per week that never call back (one converts per month) | $2,000 to $5,000 |
| Zero reviews collected, so new customers pick the other guy | Hard to measure, easy to feel |
| Rough annual cost of doing nothing | $60,000 to $150,000+ |
Now, are those exact numbers? No. Your market is different. Your average job size is different. But the direction is right. And you feel it in your gut because you have watched it happen in your own business.
You are not losing these jobs because of your skills. You are losing them because of the gap between doing the work and doing the follow up.
Let me be real with you. You did not get into this business to send text messages and chase people down. You got into this business because you are good with your hands. You like building things. You like fixing things. You like the feeling of driving away from a finished job knowing you did it right.
Follow up feels like sales. And most contractors hate sales.
You do not want to be that guy who keeps texting someone and bothering them. You do not want to come across as desperate. So you do nothing. You wait for the phone to ring. You hope the homeowner calls back.
Hope is not a business strategy.
The other problem is time. You are running jobs, managing crews, ordering materials, dealing with inspectors, handling callbacks, doing estimates in the evenings. When exactly are you supposed to sit down and write the perfect follow up message?
You are not. That is the point. You should not have to figure out what to say every single time. You need something already written. Something that works. Something you can just copy, paste, and send while you are sitting in your truck between jobs.
That is exactly what the Contractor Follow Up System does.
This is a tool built by Instant Sales Funnels specifically for contractors. Not for dentists. Not for real estate agents. Not for some generic “small business owner.” For contractors. Roofers. HVAC techs. Plumbers. Electricians. Remodelers. Landscapers. Deck builders. Painters. Concrete guys. Fence installers. And about a dozen other trades.
Here is what it gives you:
You select your trade. You plug in the job details. And it gives you a complete set of follow up messages, spread across 10 days, that you can copy and paste right into your phone.
Day one is a simple check in. Day three is a little nudge for the people who ghosted you. Day five uses a different angle. Day seven brings up scheduling. Day ten is the “closing the file” message that has a funny way of getting people to suddenly respond.
Each message sounds like a real person wrote it. Because a real person did. These are not robot messages. They sound like you, talking to a homeowner, being helpful and professional without being pushy.
When you miss a call, you need to send a text back within minutes. Not hours. Minutes. This tool gives you the exact messages to send. Short. Friendly. Professional. They let the caller know you saw their call, you are on a job, and you will get right back to them.
That one text can be the difference between a new customer and a lost lead. Most people just want to know someone is on the other end. When they get that quick reply, they wait for you instead of calling someone else.
After you finish a job, this tool gives you the words to ask for a review in a way that feels natural. Not desperate. Not corporate. Just a simple, friendly message that makes it easy for the homeowner to leave you a quick review on Google.
You can send it right from your phone while you are still in the driveway after wrapping up the job.
What do you say when the homeowner says your price is too high? What do you say when they tell you they need to talk to their spouse? What about when they say they are getting other quotes and want to wait?
Most contractors freeze up or get defensive. These scripts give you calm, smart responses that keep the conversation going instead of killing it.
The big idea is simple. You should not have to think about what to say. The thinking is already done. You just copy the message, paste it, change the name, and hit send. It works on any phone. No app to download. No software to learn. No monthly subscription eating into your overhead.
Here is something that might surprise you. Or maybe it will not surprise you at all, because you have been on the other side of it.
Research shows that contractors who respond to a new lead within 5 minutes are many times more likely to get the job than contractors who wait even 30 minutes. The data is clear on this point. The first contractor to respond usually wins.
Think about the last time you called a plumber because your water heater went out. Or the last time you called an electrician because a breaker kept tripping. You called three guys. The one who called back first got the job. Not because he was the best. Not because he was the cheapest. Because he was there.
Your customers are the same way. They do not want to wait around. They want someone who shows up. Someone who responds. Someone who makes them feel like they matter.
A fast follow up text does that. It says, “I got you. I am on it. You are not going to fall through the cracks with me.”
And that is worth more than the fanciest website or the biggest ad budget.
This is for the working contractor who wants a simple, no nonsense way to stop losing jobs to silence. Nothing more. Nothing less.
1 Go to the tool and pick your trade. Roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, remodeling, landscaping, or whatever you do. The scripts change based on your trade so they actually sound right for your business.
2 Enter the basic job details. Customer name. Type of job. Your company name. That is it. Takes about 30 seconds.
3 Get your scripts. The tool gives you your full follow up sequence, missed call texts, review request messages, and objection responses. All ready to go.
4 Copy, paste, and send. Open your text messages. Paste the script. Change any small details if you want. Hit send. Done.
There is a free preview so you can see how it works before you commit to anything. No email required. No credit card. Just go look at it.
I am not going to promise you will double your revenue overnight. That is not how the real world works. But here is what typically happens when a contractor starts following up consistently:
Right now, somewhere in your town, there is a contractor who is not as good as you. His work is average. His prices are higher. His crew is sloppier. But he is booking more jobs than you.
Why?
Because he follows up. He sends a text after the estimate. He responds to missed calls quickly. He has 90 reviews on Google. And homeowners think he is the best option in town because he is the most visible and the most responsive.
Skill matters. Of course it does. But the homeowner does not know you are the better contractor until they hire you. And they are not going to hire you if they never hear from you again after the estimate.
The game is won between the jobs. In the follow up. In the response time. In the little touches that make a homeowner feel like they are in good hands.
You already have the skills. This tool gives you the words.
I know what you are thinking. “Great, another tool I have to learn. Another login I have to remember. Another monthly bill.”
This is none of that.
There is no software to install. No app to download. No login to create. No monthly subscription. You go to the tool, pick your trade, get your scripts, and use them from your phone. That is it.
The free version gives you a preview so you can see exactly how it works. If you like what you see, the Pro version unlocks everything for a one time cost. No recurring charges. No upsells. No “premium tier” nonsense.
You can be using this in the next five minutes. While you are reading this on your phone in your truck, you could have your first follow up script ready to send.
I want you to think about the last estimate you gave where the homeowner went silent.
Think about that drive to the house. The time you spent measuring. The time you spent writing the quote. The conversation at the kitchen table. The handshake.
Now think about what would have happened if you had sent one simple text the next day. Just a quick, friendly message. No pressure. Just a check in.
Maybe they still would have gone with someone else. That happens. But maybe, just maybe, they were sitting there waiting for someone to follow up. Waiting to see who actually wanted the job enough to reach out again.
You cannot go back and fix that one. But you can fix the next one. And the one after that. And every one after that.
The Contractor Follow Up System from Instant Sales Funnels is sitting there right now, ready to go. You can be sending your first follow up text in five minutes.
The only question is whether you are going to keep doing what you have been doing. Or try something different.
I think you already know the answer.
