You sent the estimate. Now what?
Most plumbers wait. The ones who close more jobs follow up — three times, in the right way, at the right time. Here's exactly what to say.
Day 1 — Confirm Estimate Sent
"Write a 2-sentence text to [NAME] confirming I just sent their plumbing estimate to [EMAIL/PHONE]. Let them know I'm available if they have questions about the scope or timeline."
Day 3 — Friendly Check-In
"Write a follow-up text to [NAME] who received a plumbing estimate of $[AMOUNT] for [SCOPE] 3 days ago. Friendly, not pushy. Mention I have availability this week. Under 60 words."
Day 7 — Final Touch
"Write a final follow-up to [NAME] about their plumbing estimate. Very brief. Leave the door open. No pressure. Under 40 words."
Price Objection
"A homeowner said my plumbing quote of $[AMOUNT] for [SCOPE] is too expensive. Write a response that holds the price, explains the value (licensed/insured, quality materials, warranty), and doesn't apologize. Under 150 words."
30-Day Re-Engagement
"Write a re-engagement to plumbing prospect [NAME] who went quiet 30 days ago after getting a quote. Lead with a new angle: [PRE-WINTER PIPE CHECK / SPRING MAINTENANCE / WATER HEATER SEASON]. Brief and casual."
