ROI Impact
To follow up on window estimates effectively, send the first follow-up within 2 days of sending the estimate, a second message at 5 days addressing common concerns, and a final touchpoint at 10 days with urgency elements. Automated systems can handle this sequence while personalizing content based on the specific products quoted and customer information.
How This Automation Works
Estimate Sent to Customer → Scheduled Follow-Up Sequence Sent
Capture Estimate Details
When an estimate is created in your quoting system or CRM, the automation captures essential information including customer name, contact details, estimate amount, products quoted, and the date sent. This data forms the foundation for personalized follow-up communications.
Schedule Follow-Up Sequence
The system automatically calculates optimal follow-up timing based on your configured intervals and creates a scheduled sequence. Default intervals are typically set at 2 days, 5 days, and 10 days, but can be customized based on estimate value or project type.
Send Initial Follow-Up
At the first scheduled interval, a personalized email or SMS is sent thanking the customer for their interest, confirming the estimate was received, and inviting them to ask questions or schedule a follow-up consultation. The message references specific products from their quote.
Deliver Value-Added Content
The second follow-up provides additional value such as customer testimonials, energy savings calculations, financing options, or answers to common questions about the installation process. This positions your company as helpful and knowledgeable rather than pushy.
Create Urgency and Final Touchpoint
The final scheduled follow-up introduces appropriate urgency elements such as seasonal pricing, limited availability, or expiring promotions. It includes a clear call-to-action and makes it easy for the customer to move forward or request a revised estimate.
Track Engagement and Update Records
Throughout the sequence, the system monitors customer engagement including email opens, link clicks, and responses. This data is logged in your CRM, updating lead scores and alerting sales team members when prospects show high interest signals requiring personal outreach.
How It Works
Window and door companies often lose potential sales due to delayed or forgotten follow-ups after sending estimates. This automation creates a systematic approach to nurture leads by sending timely, personalized follow-up communications based on the estimate date. The system tracks when estimates are sent, schedules appropriate follow-up intervals, and delivers targeted messages that address common concerns, answer questions, and gently encourage decision-making. By maintaining consistent contact with prospects during their consideration phase, businesses can significantly improve their estimate-to-sale conversion rates while reducing the manual effort required from sales teams. The automation adapts messaging based on lead responses, estimate value, and time elapsed, ensuring each prospect receives relevant communication at the optimal moment.
The Trigger
The automation initiates when a window or door estimate is created and sent to a customer through your CRM, quoting system, or email platform. The trigger captures key information including estimate value, customer contact details, and the specific products quoted.
The Action
The system automatically sends a series of personalized follow-up messages via email or SMS at strategic intervals (typically 2 days, 5 days, and 10 days after the estimate). Each message is tailored to address common objections, provide additional value, and encourage the customer to move forward with their project.

Results You Can Expect
Increase Conversion Rates
Consistent follow-up dramatically improves the percentage of estimates that convert to actual sales. By maintaining engagement during the consideration phase and addressing concerns proactively, businesses see significantly higher close rates compared to single-touch estimates.
Save Sales Team Time
Eliminate the manual task of tracking estimate dates and remembering to follow up with each prospect. Sales teams can focus on high-value activities like consultations and closing deals rather than administrative follow-up tasks, while ensuring no lead falls through the cracks.
Improve Customer Experience
Timely, professional follow-ups demonstrate reliability and attention to detail, building trust with potential customers. Automated systems ensure every prospect receives consistent, high-quality communication regardless of how busy your sales team is.
Maximize Revenue Per Lead
By nurturing estimates that might otherwise go cold, businesses recover revenue from prospects who need more time or information to make their decision. Effective follow-up sequences can resurrect 20-30% of estimates that initially appeared lost.
Frequently Asked Questions About This Automation
The first follow-up should be sent within 48 hours of sending the estimate while your services are still top-of-mind. This initial message should acknowledge the estimate, invite questions, and offer additional information. Subsequent follow-ups at 5 days and 10 days help maintain engagement throughout the decision-making process.
