Every booked job moves through the same five stages. The businesses that book the most aren't doing more - they're leaking less at each stage.
The five stages
- Lead - someone reaches out.
- Qualified - they're a real fit for what you do.
- Estimate - you've quoted them.
- Scheduled - the job is on the calendar.
- Complete - the job is done and paid.
Where the leaks happen
Most leaks happen between Estimate and Scheduled. A quote goes out, the customer goes quiet, and nobody follows up. That's the gap where automation pays for itself fastest.
The other big leak is between Lead and Qualified - a lead reaches out and nobody responds for hours. By the time you call back, they've called someone else.
