Answer the text before they call someone else.
Someone texting for a quote may be texting other contractors too. A quick reply that asks for the address and the right photo keeps the job moving while you finish the one you're on.
When a quote goes quiet, the estimate follow-up guide has the full routine and a free workbook.
- 1. Pick your trade and the situation
A missed call, a text while you're on another job, a quote you can't price without a photo, or a quote that went quiet. Add your name if you want every reply signed.
- 2. Copy it or send it
Both languages come out together. Copy the one you need, or tap Send in WhatsApp to open it in a chat right now.
- 3. Save it as a quick reply
In WhatsApp Business, open Tools, then Quick replies. Paste the text and give it a shortcut like missed. Next time, type / in the chat, pick the reply and send.
Frequently asked questions.
When should I follow up on a quote?
Three to five days after you send it, with one short message that asks if they have questions. The estimate follow-up guide covers the rest of the routine.
Does this work for regular text messages too?
Yes. The replies are plain text. Paste them into your phone's text app, or save them as a text replacement shortcut in your phone's keyboard settings.
Why ask for a photo before quoting?
A photo tells you the size of the job before you drive out. The reply asks for the shot that matters for each trade, like the shutoff valve for plumbing or the model sticker for HVAC.
Why is the Spanish formal?
The replies use usted, the register most homeowners expect from someone they are hiring. Change it to tú if that fits your customers better.
Can I change the wording?
Yes. Type your name or business in the Sign it box to add it to every reply, then edit anything else in WhatsApp before you save it.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. The replies are built in your browser, and your sign-off is saved only in this browser for next time. Send in WhatsApp hands the text to WhatsApp, not to DIGITO. The site counts copy and send clicks by trade, situation and language, never the text. The page also shows one banner ad from Adsterra. Both are described in the Privacy policy.
