What should I say after sending an estimate?

After sending an estimate, follow up with a short message that confirms they received it, invites questions, and offers the next step. Daily Sales Copilot tracks open estimates and creates estimate follow-up scripts.

Estimates vanish after sending

The work feels done because the quote went out, but the sale is not closed.

High-ticket work needs more care

Premium services often need a better follow-up than 'just checking in'.

No clear due date

Without a next follow-up date, estimates go stale.

Lost reasons are not tracked

Knowing price, timing, or no reply helps improve future quotes.

How Daily Sales Copilot turns this into action

The goal is not more software busywork. It is a daily money list, a ready message, and a result logged.

1

Add a little real business data

Import a customer list, paste notes, connect Gmail, or Quick Add a lead, job, customer, or reminder.

2

Daily Sales Copilot builds the list

Open leads, due rebooks, review asks, slow-day gaps, and old estimates become one ranked Money List.

3

Send the ready-made message

Copy a text, open SMS or email, and message the people most likely to turn into work.

4

Log what happened

Booked jobs update revenue, review asks, follow-ups, and future rebook reminders.
