Why Most Tradies Lose Quotes
Most lost jobs are not about price — they are about uncertainty and lack of trust.
Common Mistake
Treating quoting as the final step instead of part of a sales system.

- Fast replies signal professionalism
- Slow replies lose trust immediately

Step 3: Make Your Quote Easy to Understand
Clarity removes hesitation and comparison shopping.
Step 4: Follow Up Properly
Most tradies lose jobs here — not during quoting.
