Quote follow-up for a small business with no office
A two-minute morning routine, or a system that does it for you. The rule is the same: day 2, day 5, day 10.
Sole traders and two-person firms lose more quotes to silence than anyone, because there is nobody whose job it is to chase. The work is on the tools; the admin is at 9pm; and nobody texts a customer at 9pm.
Keep a list. Every morning, chase anything two or five days old. Close anything over ten. It is two minutes with a brew, and it is the two minutes that pay for the brew.
When even that does not happen, that is what an automatic chaser is for.
