Time Is Money: Why Every Hour Counts in Quoting
In the window installation business, quoting speed doesn’t just affect admin time — it directly impacts revenue. When a customer asks for a quote, they’re ready to buy. If they don’t hear back fast, they’ll move on. Every hour you wait is a chance for a competitor to win the job.
The Problem with Manual or Spreadsheet-Based Quotes
Many window companies still rely on spreadsheets, paper notes, or manually typing up email quotes. These systems are slow, error-prone, and nearly impossible to scale. They cause bottlenecks, inconsistency, and delay the customer decision.
How slow quoting eats into profit:
- Missed opportunities: Customers comparing quotes go cold quickly. If yours isn’t in their inbox fast, you’re off the shortlist.
- Increased admin: Sales reps spending hours building quotes don’t have time for actual selling or follow-up.
- Inconsistent pricing: Manual inputs often lead to errors, incorrect margins, and credibility issues.
Speed Builds Trust and Wins More Jobs
Installers who quote quickly don’t just look more professional — they convert leads faster. A fast, clear, and professional quote tells the customer: “We’re organised, we value your time, and we’re ready to do the job.” That kind of first impression is hard to ignore.
Raise Your Close Rate With Instant Quotes
When quotes can be generated instantly — from the van, from the site, or even from a phone — the sales process accelerates. You don’t just keep pace with the customer, you stay ahead of them.
Benefits of quoting instantly with a modern system:
- Respond while on-site: Deliver pricing during the visit, when the customer is most engaged.
- Automated pricing logic: Remove guesswork and human error. Get consistent profit margins on every quote.
- Track and follow up: See which quotes were opened and follow up based on real activity.
