Follow-up
Stale-Estimate Follow-up
The follow-up your unsold estimates never got, written daily.
Who it is for
Home services contractors and service businesses whose estimates do not always close on the first pass and whose follow-up depends on somebody finding time.
What it does
Every day the workflow scans your estimate pipeline for quotes that went quiet, and drafts a personalized re-engagement message for each one: right name, right job, right price, right tone. Revenue that was leaking out of the pipeline gets a second chance on schedule.

What is Stale-Estimate Follow-up?
Stale-estimate follow-up is an automation that chases the quotes that went quiet so written-off work turns back into booked work. Every day it scans your estimate pipeline for quotes that have gone cold and drafts a personalized re-engagement message for each one, with the right name and the right detail, timed so the customer hears from you without anyone remembering to send it. It is built for home services contractors and service businesses whose estimates do not always close on the first pass and whose follow-up is the first thing to slip when the schedule fills. The revenue is already sitting in your pipeline; the only reason it leaks is that nobody has time to keep circling back. Otomations runs the follow-up on your existing estimate system, so every open quote is tracked to a yes, a no, or a reason.

Common questions
Will the follow-up messages sound automated?
No. Each message is drafted with the customer's name and the specifics of their quote, in your voice, so it reads like a person circling back, not a blast.
How long does it take to go live?
Most workflows go live in two to four weeks. Simpler ones, like missed-call text-back, can ship in the first week. The exact scope is set after a short AI Readiness Audit.
