Paving · Another direction

If a asphalt driveway 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

Paving estimates sit until the weather window, or until an overlay bid shows up cheaper than a mill-and-fill. Tell them a reply reopens it. Then stop.

What not to add

Do not overlay a driveway that is already pumping water through the cracks. Depth and the mill are the job. A thin overlay is a different, shorter-lived bid. Drainage is the question the person who watches the puddle will ask.

If you send it from QuoteLasso

The default schedule is three emails, at 2, 5, and 10 days. Day 10 is the last one. You can move the dates. Add the estimate by typing it in, forwarding the message, or importing a spreadsheet. The customer sees your business name and the address followups@quotelasso.com. A reply comes to your inbox and the remaining follow-ups stop. QuoteLasso does not send texts. During the 14-day trial, due emails can send on their own. After that, Free is manual. Starter is $79/month and Pro is $149/month.

Closing the file on your asphalt driveway estimate

Hi Sharon,

I am guessing the asphalt driveway may have gone another direction, and that is all right. I will close the $6,700 estimate on my end.

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

Thanks,

Questions

Is this the last paving 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. Asphalt plants and temperature decide the week. An overlay on a base that has failed will look cheaper and fail again.

What will the customer see if QuoteLasso sends the asphalt driveway 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 $6,700.

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.
