What you'll fix

Day 1

Stop slow callbacks

Set a five-minute response rule and a missed-call text so new leads do not cool off while you are on a job.

Day 2

Tighten your quote path

Make sure every page, profile, and voicemail tells prospects exactly how to request an estimate.

Day 3

Add proof that sells

Collect the reviews, before-and-after photos, licenses, and job examples that make buyers trust you faster.

Day 4

Follow up without feeling pushy

Install a two-touch estimate follow-up cadence that turns silent quotes into booked work.

Day 5

Track what worked

Mark every new lead by source so next month you spend time on the channel that actually booked jobs.

You leave with assets, not theory.

Every day creates or improves one thing a customer can actually see: your call process, Google profile, follow-up script, website section, or lead tracking.

Completion path

After day 5, turn the fixes into a weekly lead leak review

You should leave with a response standard, quote-path checklist, proof list, follow-up script, and simple source tracking so leads stop disappearing between inquiry and booked job.

Time required

30 minutes per day, then 20 minutes every Friday

Assets you should have by the end:

  • check_circleFive-minute callback rule
  • check_circleWebsite and profile proof checklist
  • check_circleEstimate follow-up script
  • check_circleLead source tracker

Step 1

Run the Lead Leak Audit

Score missed calls, slow replies, weak proof, no reviews, no follow-up, and unknown sources before changing spend.

Step 2

Install one follow-up rhythm

Use the same two-touch estimate follow-up on every unsold quote so close rate improves before ad spend rises.

Step 3

Review booked jobs weekly

Look at source, speed-to-lead, estimate value, close status, and next action every Friday.

Product-fit next step

If the challenge shows that weak website proof or unclear quote paths are costing booked jobs, compare website fixes first: service-page cleanup, stronger proof, a better quote path, agency help, or a contractor-specific builder such as Webzaz when full website demand is clear.
