The fastest quote wins the deal.

Buyers ask everyone at once.

When someone is ready to buy a pergola or a garden room, they do not contact just you. They contact five to ten companies. They fill in the forms, they ask for quotes, and then they wait.

The first company to send a proper quote usually wins. Not the cheapest. Not the best. The fastest.

People are impatient when they are ready to buy. They want an answer now, not in three days. If your quote arrives in two minutes and your competitor takes two days, guess who gets the call.

Why most businesses lose.

A request lands Monday morning. You see it Monday afternoon. You are on site all day, so you get to it Tuesday. You spend an hour building the quote. It goes out Wednesday.

Meanwhile a competitor sent an automatic quote 60 seconds after the request.

By Wednesday the buyer has already had three phone calls with faster companies. They have narrowed it down. You are not in the conversation. You lost before you knew you were in the race.

What automated quotes change.

Someone designs their product in your configurator and taps "get quote". Within about a minute they have a branded PDF in their inbox with their exact configuration, a 3D image of what they designed, a full price breakdown, your company details and what happens next.

You are first

They see your quote before anyone else's. You set the baseline, and every other company gets compared to you.

You look organised

An instant branded PDF says you have your act together. A quote that takes three days says the opposite, and people assume the build will go the same way.

You stay in their head

While they compare quotes, yours is the one they have been looking at for two days. The others just arrived.

You create momentum

A fast reply keeps things moving. A slow one kills it. Speed is the first thing they learn about working with you.

What a quote looks like.

Two examples. These are samples, so the layout, logo and wording all get matched to your brand.

To see one with your own name on it, go through a configurator and the sample quote lands in your inbox.

Fast against slow.

It gives you your week back.

"Quoting is a living hell" is a direct quote from an outdoor living seller. Tamas, the managing director of YourPergola in Hungary, had the same problem. After switching to automated quotes they saved 166 hours in four months.

The whole story is in the YourPergola case study.

What it looks like on the ground.

Most recently, we had a great example of what happened when you are the first one to respond with the quote. It came through on the twenty-fifth of January. We sent him the quote back instantly. We followed up with him the next day. He then called, we had a lead call booked in for the next day. We did the consultation call and the following day he bought. So he's gone from clicking on the funnel to three days later closed sale.

Customers are getting an instant estimate, they're getting instant communication from us. We've automated pretty much everything we can do to make sure the customers are getting an instant estimate, the instant communication from us and the follow-ups.
