Trusted by local businesses to keep customer conversations moving
Estimate follow-up software helps a business reconnect with customers after a quote has been sent. Tradesly combines automated quote follow-up with AI-assisted calls, texts, email, and human involvement where included. The goal is to resolve questions and move eligible unsold estimates toward acceptance, booking, or a clear decision.
Also called estimate rehash, this is post-quote follow-up, not estimate creation or new lead prospecting. Tradesly’s contractor follow-up software is designed around the context of HVAC, plumbing, and electrical jobs, with the channel mix and next steps configured for your business.
Your team has already visited, scoped the job, and sent the quote. Automated estimate follow-up keeps eligible opportunities moving while your people focus on conversations that need them.
Give open estimates a planned follow-up cadence. Keep the next touch moving without relying on someone to remember another reminder.
Bring questions about scope, timing, or options back into a conversation. Involve an authorized person when the decision needs more than a reminder.
Use AI-assisted outreach for repetitive check-ins. Give your team more time for interested customers and important decisions.
The opportunity is already there. Make the follow-up do more of the work.
Use one set of assumptions to explore booked-work value and staff time freed each month. The results are a scenario, not a Tradesly performance claim.
Adjust your assumptions to see booked-work value and staff time together. Your numbers stay in this browser.
Starting assumptions: 80 estimates · 40% assumed booked · $6,500 average job value.
$31.05 per paid hour · 121.3 productive hours/month per CSR · $44.36 per productive hour.
32 modeled bookings from 80 eligible open estimates.
Equivalent to 0.66 FTE · 6.6% of your team’s productive capacity.
Capacity freed is not payroll savings. Excludes revenue gains and peak or 24/7 coverage needs.
How the calculation works: Modeled bookings = eligible open estimates × assumed booking rate. Gross booked-work value = modeled bookings × average booked-job value. Compare against a baseline or holdout before calling real results incremental.
Keep open quotes moving without managing another to-do list. Tradesly follows up, brings customer questions back to your team, and helps interested customers move toward booking.
Your team can focus on the next conversation, with the quote and customer context already in hand.
Follow-up uses available estimate data, approved contact permissions, and your campaign setup.
An unanswered quote needs more than another notification. Coordinate AI-assisted calls, texts, and email, then adapt when a customer replies. Answer approved questions, arrange a callback, or bring in a person to help with the decision.
Don’t start over. Use the quote context and a straightforward next question.
AI can collect context and request a handoff. Your team handles quotes, concessions, and detailed advice.
Respect age, permissions, prior contact, and the customer’s decision. Don’t assume an old quote remains valid.

Automate routine touches and keep your team focused on customers who are ready to talk. When a question needs judgment, carry the estimate context into a conversation with a trained person or your own team.
Managed human coverage varies by package; internal-team handoffs can be configured where supported.
Your next booking may already be in your open estimates. Reconnect with eligible customers, confirm their interest, and offer a suitable next step without buying another lead first.
Revisiting existing estimates does not require new lead purchases. Campaign, usage, and service fees still apply.
Quotes to revisit
Tradesly includes compliance controls in outbound workflows. Every campaign also needs the right permissions, data, message rules, and stopping conditions.
Contact eligible customers using approved channel permissions and lists.
Apply appropriate calling and messaging windows for the campaign.
Stop or change outreach when a quote sells, the owner takes over, or another campaign has the lead.
Honor known opt-outs and configured suppression rules across the eligible channels.
Built-in controls support compliant operations; lawful consent and campaign approval remain necessary. They do not guarantee compliance for every use case.
Start with one defined audience, one agreed follow-up plan, and outcomes you can measure. Expand from what you learn.
Identify status, date, value, job type, exclusions, responsible team, and permitted contact channels. Confirm whether your source supports exports or a connected feed.
Agree on cadence, relevant questions, objections that need human help, booking requests, and when to stop. Avoid overlapping existing rehash campaigns.
Track contacts, replies, accepted estimates, and booked jobs. Connect completed revenue where supported, and compare consistent estimate groups before claiming incremental gains.
Real answers to the questions operators ask before setting up a campaign.
Lead follow-up usually starts when someone makes an initial inquiry. Estimate follow-up starts after a customer has received a quote or proposal, so the conversation can reference work already scoped, options discussed, prior contacts, and the decision still pending. For new purchased inquiries, explore Paid Lead Follow-Up.
Estimate rehash means revisiting open or unsold estimates and reconnecting with customers who have not decided. It can involve answering questions, checking whether the project is still relevant, and arranging a booking or an informed handoff. It is not a promise that every estimate can be recovered.
The right timing depends on the customer’s expectations, job type, estimate age, prior discussion, and contact permissions. Tradesly helps configure an approved cadence; it should not assume that every homeowner wants the same number of calls or a fixed two-day sequence.
Yes. Use up to 3 channels (AI-assisted phone calls, SMS, and email) in a coordinated estimate follow-up workflow. Available channels, usage limits, and managed human coverage depend on your package, permissions, and configuration. Ask about outbound packages.
Yes. Human review or handoff can be configured when a customer needs approved pricing details, options, financing information, or another nuanced decision. Managed human coverage depends on the plan; your own team can receive handoffs where supported.
Keep your existing quoting and field-service system. The setup maps the estimate data, statuses, and booking actions available to your business, with a clear owner for each audience. When you already use another estimate follow-up tool, define exclusions and handoffs to avoid contacting the same customer twice. Specific read/write actions and update timing depend on the integration.
Tradesly can qualify interested customers and move an eligible conversation toward a booking or a qualified handoff. Whether an appointment is confirmed directly in your scheduling system depends on integration access, availability, job type, and your rules. A requested callback is not the same as a confirmed job.
Built-in controls support suppression, opt-out handling, and campaign stop conditions. The exact estimate-status feed, refresh interval, campaign overlap rules, and channels should be checked during onboarding so a sold or excluded opportunity is not repeatedly contacted.
Measure eligible open estimates, successful contacts, customer replies, quotes accepted, appointments booked, and collected revenue when connected. Separate contact attempts from actual conversations and bookings. Compare consistent cohorts by estimate age, job type, and dollar value.
Yes. Existing, still-eligible estimates give you an audience to revisit without buying more leads first. Tradesly can reconnect with interested customers and move them toward an appropriate booking or handoff. Availability checks and booking actions depend on your setup; campaign and service fees still apply.
A reminder sends another nudge. A configured Tradesly workflow can combine that touch with a conversation: capture the customer’s question, provide approved information, and move toward a booking or human handoff. It is automated quote follow-up focused on the decision, not just sending more messages.
Yes, when the estimate and customer are still eligible. Lead reactivation here means reopening a previously quoted opportunity, not cold prospecting or a blanket blast to old contacts. Confirm permissions, current scope, quote validity, and prior decisions before restarting outreach.
Keep a quote follow-up email specific, helpful, and easy to answer. Reference the proposed work and ask one clear question. Example: “Hi Sam, following up on your panel-upgrade estimate. Is the project still on your list, or is there a question we can help answer?” Adapt the wording, timing, sender details, and required opt-out language to the campaign.
Outbound workflows are available with package-specific volume and service allowances, not unlimited usage. Ask about outbound packages for your estimated volume, channels, integration needs, and human coverage.
Bring your unsold estimates and your current follow-up process. See how Tradesly can help recover opportunities, fill schedule gaps, and take repetitive outreach off your team’s plate.
Ask about outbound packages. Pricing and coverage depend on campaign scope.
