The Real Reason Plumbers Lose 40% of Leads: Slow Quote Follow-Up (And How to Fix It)

The Real Reason Plumbers Lose 40% of Leads: Slow Quote Follow-Up (And How to Fix It)

Most plumbing businesses aren’t losing jobs because of price.
They’re losing jobs because they don’t follow up fast enough.

When a customer submits a form or requests a quote, they usually contact 3–5 plumbers at the same time.
Whoever responds first — wins the job.

But plumbers are busy on the tools, driving, or dealing with current jobs… so follow-up gets delayed or forgotten.

The result?

Lost leads.
Lost revenue.
Lost opportunities.

The fix? Automated follow-up.

With automation, every new lead instantly gets:

• A text

• An email

• A follow-up reminder

• A calendar booking option

You stay first in line — without lifting a finger.

Plumbers using this system typically see:

• Faster quotes accepted

• More jobs booked

• Less admin

• More consistent revenue

If you want to close more work without changing anything else, start with your follow-up system.
