Soft check-in
Friendly, no pressure.
Hi Jordan — just checking in on the quote I sent last week for the hallway repair. Happy to answer questions or adjust the scope if needed.
Quote follow-up messages (and quote expiring reminders)
They already have the number. A quote follow-up text checks whether they want to book — without nagging.
Reference the job and the quote date. Don’t invent urgency you don’t mean.
When to use this
- You already sent a first quote; this is the check-in.
- One follow-up is usually enough; two max.
- If they never got a price, use First quote for a new job.
- If they’re ready to book, point them to Booking confirmation next.
- Also on this page: quote expiring reminders.
Still interested?
Give an easy yes/no.
Hi Alex — are you still interested in the cleaning quote for the 12th? If timing changed I can hold another day.
Number holds until…
Only if you truly expire quotes.
Hi Jordan — friendly reminder the quote for $480 is good through Friday. After that I’ll need to recheck materials. No rush either way.
Offer a call
Complex jobs need a voice note.
Hi Alex — want to hop on a quick call about the quote? Sometimes it’s easier than text. I’m free tomorrow afternoon.
Polite close-the-loop
You’re done chasing.
Hi Jordan — I’ll close out the quote on my side for now. If you want to revisit later, just text me and I’ll send an updated number.
Quote expiring reminders
Most quotes are only good for a while because material prices and your schedule change. Send these a few days before the date, not the morning of.
Friendly expiry reminder
A few days ahead.
Hi Alex — quick reminder that the quote I sent for the fence repair is good through Friday, October 17. Happy to answer any questions before then.
Prices are changing
Honest reason.
Hi Jordan — the lumber price on your quote is only locked until the 20th. After that I’d need to re-check costs. Want me to hold it?
Schedule spot too
Date and price.
Hi Alex — your quote expires next Wednesday. If you want to go ahead, I can still start the week of the 27th. Let me know either way.
Easy no
No hard feelings.
Hi Alex — your quote expires this week. If you’ve decided to go another way, no problem at all — just let me know so I can free up the date.
After it expired
Offer a fresh quote.
Hi Alex — the quote I sent last month has expired, but I’m happy to send an updated one if you’re still thinking about the project.
How to send it
Copy one message, swap in the real name and time, and send from your own phone or email. Keep it to a few sentences. If they need a different topic, use a Related link below instead of mixing two subjects in one text.
