Concrete · Another direction

If a driveway replacement estimate went another direction

One polite close is enough. It is also the note that gets a call later. Do not argue with the other price.

Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.

Say you are closing the file

Concrete bids stall on the tear-out, because the new slab price looks high until the old one is hauled away. Tell them a reply reopens it. Then stop.

What not to add

Do not thin the slab to win the follow-up. Haul-away and thickness are the cost. A thinner slab is the cheaper bid and the one that cracks. A partner often asks about color or a stamp after seeing a plain broom-finish price.

Closing the file on your driveway replacement estimate

Hi Lori,

I am guessing the driveway replacement may have gone another direction, and that is all right. I will close the $9,800 estimate on my end.

If it is still in play, reply and I will pick it back up.

Thanks,

Questions

Is this the last concrete follow-up?

Yes. Day 10 is the last email on the default schedule, and this note is that close. A reply, a phone call, or an unsubscribe stops it sooner. Pour days need temperature, not just an open calendar. Do not book a finish in a freeze.

What will the customer see if QuoteLasso sends the driveway replacement email?

The customer sees your business name and the address followups@quotelasso.com. A reply comes to your inbox and the remaining follow-ups stop. The words are yours. The sample on this page uses made-up names and the example price $9,800.

Send this kind of note on a schedule.

Add the estimate. QuoteLasso drafts the email in your words and, on the trial or a paid plan, can send it when it is due.
