The leak most teams underestimate
Field crews are on-site, phones are ringing, and the front office is overloaded. The lead leaves before anyone calls back.
Most owners know this happens, but they do not have a consistent system to recover those calls quickly.
A realistic first workflow
- Missed call triggers an immediate text-back with approved response language.
- Lead intent and address are captured in one intake lane.
- High-intent leads route to the owner or dispatcher for rapid callback.
What to measure in week one
Track callback speed, response rate to the text-back, and booked estimate count.
If your team can see those three metrics daily, the workflow can be tuned quickly without guesswork.
