Why Speed-to-Quote Wins More Jobs
In the window installation industry, speed isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s essential. When a potential lead asks for a quote, they’re ready to make a decision. If you’re not first with a detailed, professional quote, you’re often last.
The Hidden Costs of Slow Quoting
Manual quoting using spreadsheets, emails, or handwritten notes slows everything down. It creates delays that impact your entire sales pipeline. Here’s what you’re really losing when quotes aren’t fast:
- Missed opportunities: Customers move on when they don’t hear back quickly.
- Inconsistent pricing: Manual quotes lead to errors and undermined trust.
- Wasted admin time: Time spent formatting quotes and chasing details is time not spent selling or fitting.
Why Instant Quotes Change the Game
Sending a quote on the spot — whether from the van, the customer’s driveway, or your phone — gives you a massive advantage. It shows professionalism, builds trust, and keeps the conversation moving while the customer is engaged.
Fast Quotes, Faster Conversions
Window companies that quote instantly convert more leads. That’s because momentum matters — the time between the site visit and the quote is when the customer is most likely to say yes. Speed shortens that gap.
