The problem
A re-roof quote is a big decision and customers go quiet while they compare. If you send 10 quotes a month at an average of £3,500 and 1 extra is accepted after a nudge, that's £3,500 a month.
What the AI does
Powered Now's Premium plan lists automatic quote chasing: its follow-ups chase the quiet quotes for you, and each quote carries a signature link so the customer can sign without ringing you. You check the follow-up settings and stay in charge of when to phone.
A worked example
A two-person roofing firm in Newcastle sends around 10 quotes a month for re-roofs and repairs. They use Powered Now Premium so every quote that goes quiet gets followed up automatically.
Before
10 quotes a month chased only when remembered; many left unanswered
After
Every quote chased automatically, with 1 more job accepted a month
What it's worth
About £1,050 a month in profit, at an assumed 30% margin on £3,500 of extra work if 1 extra re-roof is won at a £3,500 average quote. That is against £40 to £80 for the software.
How to set it up
- Pick Powered Now Premium, the plan that lists automatic quote chasing.
- Send quotes from the app rather than as a PDF in your own email.
- Turn on quote chasing and look at what follow-ups it sends and how many.
- Phone the customers on your biggest quotes yourself as well.
- After a month, compare your acceptance rate with the month before.
What goes wrong
- Premium is £40 per user, excluding VAT, so a second user doubles the cost.
- Quotes sent outside the app are not chased.
- Check how many follow-ups your settings send; one or two is enough for a considered purchase like a re-roof.
