How can my trade business win more quotes? Reply to enquiries fast, quote clearly, follow up every quote to a decision, and ask happy customers for a review and a referral.
Free, two minutes: What are your lost quotes costing you? 60-second calculator. Or: How customers compare quotes.
1. Reply while they are still looking
The first business to call back often gets the visit. Aim to reply to new enquiries within minutes, not the next day.
2. Make the quote easy to say yes to
Clear scope, what is included and what is not, how long it takes and how it is paid. Customers compare quotes, and a clear one is easier to trust.
3. Follow up every quote to a decision
Many quotes are not lost on price. They go quiet. A call on day 2 and day 5 that finds the real hold-up wins jobs that would otherwise disappear.
4. Ask for the review and the referral
After the job, ask happy customers for a Google review, then for a referral a week later. Each one makes the next quote easier to win.

Quick answers
Why do customers stop replying after a quote?
Usually something is unresolved: a question, a partner to ask, another quote to compare, or timing. Finding that one thing is what wins the job.
