Quoting, and actually getting paid
Most work is not lost to a better price. It is lost to silence, at both ends. This is the part that sends it, chases it, closes it and collects.
Who this is for
For a business with quotes sitting out there and invoices nobody has time to chase.
The rung that usually pays for itself first
What it looks like now
Three things that keep happening
- The quote gets written up in the evening, or not at all.
- Chasing feels rude, so it does not happen, and in three weeks the job is gone.
- The work is finished and the invoice goes out whenever somebody remembers.

So a quote takes a minute instead of an evening.
Follow up on its own
On a schedule, until there is an answer either way, and it stops the second there is one.
Accepted on a phone
Signed and agreed without a printer or a second visit.
Deposits taken with the yes
The money moves at the moment they are ready to spend it.
Invoices that chase themselves
Reminded on the day they age, not the day somebody notices.
What changes
How the week is different
- Quotes go out the same day, every day.
- Nothing sits unanswered because chasing felt awkward.
- Work that is finished cannot quietly go unbilled.
And some of it needs nobody at all
Where the work repeats and the rules are clear, software does it and a person keeps the exceptions.
Who does what
5 things run on their own. 1 kind reaches a person.
Asked most often
What people ask about quoting and getting paid
- How many times does it chase?
- As many as you are comfortable with, and it stops the moment they answer either way. Two is usually plenty.
- Does it feel like spam?
- Not if it is written like a person and it stops when it should. Both of those are settings, and we set them with you.
- Can it take money?
- Yes. Deposits at acceptance and balances on completion, straight into your account.
Twenty minutes, and you know what we would build
Twenty minutes on the phone. Bring a number for how many quotes go quiet in a month; that is the whole conversation.
