Follow up on roofing estimates without being a pest

RoofingQuote follow-up

The problem

Roof replacements are big decisions. Homeowners stall, and a thoughtful follow-up often decides who gets the job.

Steps

1. Note the estimate details and any concerns the homeowner raised.
2. Run the prompt.
3. Send from your own phone/email; log replies.
4. Never pressure with fake deadlines.

Copy-paste prompt

Replace everything in [BRACKETS]. Works in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.

Write 3 follow-up messages for a roofing estimate.
Customer: [NAME]. Job: [e.g. full asphalt shingle replacement, 28 squares], price [PRICE], sent [DATE].
Concerns they mentioned: [e.g. cost, timing, insurance].
Message 1 (day 3): answer their main concern simply.
Message 2 (day 8): explain what's included (tear-off, underlayment, cleanup, warranty [DETAILS]).
Message 3 (day 15): polite close-the-loop asking if they'd like to proceed, wait, or pass.
Under 80 words each. Don't give insurance advice or invent facts.
