Painters lose more jobs to slow callbacks than to price
Homeowners get three painting quotes, and the first company to show up and follow up usually wins. BOB answers your calls, books estimates, and chases every quote.
The problem
- You're on a ladder or spraying and can't touch the phone.
- Spring and fall are packed, and estimate requests pile up.
- Quotes go out and nobody checks back, so they sign with someone else.
- Past customers forget you when it's time to paint again.
What BOB does for painting contractors
- Answers every call and asks interior or exterior, rooms or square footage, and timing.
- Books estimates on your calendar by area.
- Sends quote follow-up texts on day 2, 5, 10 and 30.
- Asks for a review after the job, with a photo-friendly link.
- Reminds past customers when it's been a few years since their last project.
What a call sounds like
Caller: We want the outside of our house painted this spring.
BOB: Great. Is it a one-story or two-story home, and is it siding, brick or both?
Caller: Two-story, mostly siding.
BOB: I can have an estimator out Tuesday at 4 or Saturday at 10. Which works?
Questions owners ask
Can BOB follow up on estimates for me?
Yes. That's the quote chaser. Polite texts go out on a schedule until the customer books or tells you no.
Will it book estimates in the right part of town?
Yes. It can offer times that match the areas you're already working.
Can it handle commercial painting calls?
Yes. Commercial calls can be booked differently or sent straight to you.
