Quote follow-up for painters and decorators
You quoted the hallway, they wanted to pick colours first, and that took a year. Chase My Quote follows up every quote by text and email, in your name, until the customer taps Yes or Call me.
Hi Sam,
Thanks for asking us for a quote. Are you still thinking about the hall, stairs and landing, two coats? Let us know below and we will take it from there.

Why quotes go quiet for painters and decorators
- Decorating waits for the colour decision, which waits for the partner, which waits for the weekend.
- It is the job people can "do themselves" until they try.
- You are the cheapest of three and they still have not decided, because nobody nudged them.
None of those is a no. A reminder on day 2 and day 5, from your business, in plain words, brings some of them back. The customer who was always going to say yes gets an easy button to say it.
The text we would send for you
138 characters with a real link: one text. More wording for painters and decorators.
Two things we have learned chasing for painters and decorators
- Offer dates in the follow-up. Decorating customers decide when they can picture the week.
- Chase small jobs too: a hallway becomes a whole house.
What it does for you

Chases in working hours, in your name
Text and email on day 2, again on day 5, a last email on day 10. Never at the weekend, never on a bank holiday, never after an answer.
The answers come to you
Yes or Call me lands at the top of your list with the number, plus an email and a ping on your phone. Tap "I have called them" so the team knows.

Questions painters and decorators ask
Will it annoy my customers?
Three messages over two weeks, in working hours, never on a bank holiday, and it stops the moment they answer. Every message carries a one-tap "stop" link. That is less than most garages and trades already do by phone, and politer.
Does it send in my name?
Yes. Emails show your business name and your logo, and replies go to your own address. Texts come from your business name. Customers never see Chase My Quote.
How do quotes get in?
Drop in the PDF, photo or screenshot of the quote you already sent, from any job system or from a notepad. Chase My Quote reads the customer, the job and the price. Or type the five boxes in.
What if the customer says no?
There is no "no" button, on purpose. If they tap nothing, the chase ends after the last message and the quote closes as gone cold. You can mark it lost. If they tap "Call me", you ring them.
Is it legal to text customers?
A follow-up about a quote the customer asked for is a service message to an existing enquiry, not marketing. Every text and email still carries a stop link, which is honoured at once and for good.
Does it work with my job system?
It sits beside whatever you use. There is nothing to connect: you drop the quote in or type it. Links into job systems and Xero are planned.
