AUTOMATION EXAMPLES / Money is sitting still
Quote Chaser
Polite, timed estimate follow-up that stops the second the customer responds.
A solid estimate is delivered, the customer says they will think about it, and the next follow-up depends on memory.
BUSINESS LANE / Money is sitting still
DELIVERY / BUILT AROUND YOUR BUSINESS
ONE POSSIBLE VERSION
The recurring pass stops depending on memory.
Quote Chaser watches estimate status, follows the business timing and tone, records every message, detects responses, and routes questions or objections to a person. The exact triggers, actions, tools, and approval boundaries would be mapped from how your business works today.
- Consistent follow-up
- Fewer silent estimates
- Visible customer status
- No messaging after reply
- Estimating or job system
- Email or SMS

This safe interface explains the trigger, actions, evidence, and human stop using fictional records. A client version is custom and normally runs through the tools the team already uses.

THE SAFE OPERATING ENVELOPE
Fast on the routine. Careful at the edges.
The goal is not maximum autonomy. It is the most useful level of autonomy the business can understand, test, and safely own.
- Stops on any reply
- Respects opt-outs and contact windows
- Never changes price or scope
- Keeps every touch attached to the estimate
The business sends enough valuable estimates that a few recovered jobs materially matter.
Quotes are rarely lost to follow-up or the underlying sales offer is not yet credible.
IF WE BUILD YOUR VERSION
The implementation leaves with the keys attached.
The interface above is an explanatory example, not the deliverable. Your build lives in your tools, uses your accounts, follows your rules, and ships with enough documentation for a capable operator to understand it.
