Quote follow-ups — chase the job without the cringe
You sent a good quote. Silence. You do not want to sound needy. You also do not want the job to go cold while the customer picks someone faster. Quote follow-ups in Pro Quoter tie messages to the quote and customer — helpful nudges, not spam. Optional AI help for wording. Built by a tradesman who hated typing chase messages at 9pm. Part of the Pro Quoter quote builder — enquiry, measure, quote, job and invoice in one thread.
Quotes die in the quiet
Busy week on tools. Quote from Tuesday never chased. Customer booked someone who followed up Wednesday.
Example: £12k extension quote. One polite follow-up with scope reminder wins job over cheaper quote that never called back.
