Follow up on sold estimates
Click the Sold Estimates tab on the Follow Up screen.
Click on a sold estimate to go to the estimate screen. The customer's contact information is there, making it easy to call or email.
If you aren't able to reach the customer, make sure to log the follow-up.
On the estimate screen, click View Opportunity.
Click Log a follow-up at the bottom of the page.
The log options open. You can click the Log Templates dropdown to add pre-written notes or enter your own in the Notes field, click the Change appointment date field to set your next follow up date, select Copy to Customer Notes, and Copy to Location Notes. When you are done, click Save.
To book the job, select the items to include then click Book new job.
When you book a job for a sold estimate, you can select all items, or you can select specific items if the customer wants to split the work up into multiple jobs.
Follow up on unsold estimates
Use the Unsold Estimates tab on the Follow Up screen.
Click on an Unsold Estimate, this will take you to Opportunity Follow Up.
On the Opportunity Follow-Up screen, you can:
Click Call the Customer, Log a follow up or Upload an attachment at the bottom of the screen.
View estimate details, so you can talk to the customer about the proposal.
Click the Edit to make changes.
Click Sold/Convert when the customer says yes and assign credit to whoever sold the estimate.
Once you sell an estimate, you’ll be able to book the job.
If the customer says yes but isn't ready to schedule the job yet, the sold estimate will be available on the Sold Estimates tab to schedule later.
Add an estimate to a project
