Where handyman and small contractor leads leak.

Handyman and small-contractor work means high lead volume and wildly mixed quality — from a $75 fix to a full remodel. The leak is messy intake: with no qualification, the owner burns hours on tiny or bad-fit jobs by phone while serious customers wait and drift to someone else.

How leads reach you

Every channel is a place a serious job can quietly slip through if it isn't captured and owned.

Where leads usually leak

The symptom, and what it usually means is happening underneath.

Every request comes in as 'can you do ___?' with no detail.
You spend the call digging for basics instead of qualifying and quoting.
Tiny jobs and big projects arrive through the same channel.
Without sorting, low-value jobs eat the time that should go to real work.
Quotes are given on the phone and forgotten.
Nothing is written down, nothing is followed up, and the job quietly disappears.
The owner is the whole system.
When you're on a job, intake stops and leads pile up unanswered.
Quote process risks
  • No budget or scope captured up front, so estimates are guesses and re-quotes are constant.
  • No minimum-job or service-area filter, so you quote work that isn't worth the drive.
  • Verbal quotes with no written confirmation lead to scope disputes and unpaid extras.
Missed-call risks
  • On-the-job calls go to voicemail and aren't returned until evening.
  • No text-back to hold the lead and gather job details automatically.
  • Higher-value callers give up and call the next name on the list.

A follow-up sequence built for your jobs

Illustrative structure — every paid diagnostic ships these written for your business. No vague 'just checking in.'

Same day
Text
Hi {name}, thanks for reaching out. To quote your {job} accurately — can you send a photo, the address, and your ideal timeframe? I'll get you a number quickly.
Day 2
Text
Following up on your {job}. I can take care of it {day} or {day} — want me to lock in a time, or do you have questions on the quote?
Day 4
Call or text
Checking in on the {job} at {address}. Still want it handled? If the timing changed, just let me know and we'll work around it.
Day 7
Text
Closing this one out, {name}. If the {job} still needs doing, reply and I'll get you on the schedule.

The system we recommend installing

Qualifying questions
  • What's the job, and can you send a photo of what needs doing?
  • What's the address (to confirm it's in our service area)?
  • Do you have a rough budget or is this for a quote?
  • When do you need it done — and is it one task or a list?
