Are you driving around to every quote?

Hey guys, 

We do small average job size electrical jobs in the Vancouver Canada area. I got really sick of driving around to all of these quotes especially when you're getting a few tire kickers. So we've changed over to doing all of our quotes through video calls. 

There's a software I've been using for this it's basically Taylor made for this kind of application and it just works a lot better than FaceTime, WhatsApp, and zoom. It's called live switch contact and you can check out their site here  : https://www.liveswitch.com/

Great company, updating constantly and really nice people working over there. Anyways the reason I'm posting this is that they now have a jobber integration. They've built this right into the client profile which makes using the service even easier. Here's a link to a video I recorded just explaining it a little bit. https://us02web.zoom.us/clips/share/A2F3MRZIQmc2WjNBZ1RVU0hSLVZKVWFGUU9nAQ

If you have any questions about it or quoting remotely through video definitely reach out to me.

    We are a cleaning business and since Covid we have not quoted in person.  Love it. Such a time saver.

    We do a lot of digital quoting. We will quote some jobs that cannot be viewed from Google Earth, all of our work is mainly exterior. With window cleanings, I quote price per unit rather than quantity.

    I used to run around quoting small handyman jobs in person, burning time and fuel for work that often didn’t go ahead. It was one of the biggest bottlenecks in my business.

    Now I live in Vietnam and run my UK handyman business remotely, thanks to the systems I’ve built. One of the biggest game changers has been our quoting process.

    We use a lead scoring system that figures out the best next step based on the job:
    send a WhatsApp video request, offer a rough online quote, or book a visit.

    It’s saved us hours each week and made things quicker for customers too.
