Send quotes while you are still top of mind

Quote on site before you leave. Customers who wait days for a PDF often shop around or lose urgency.

Mobile quoting means the job details are fresh — you are less likely to forget access constraints or materials.

Use approval links, not attachments alone

PDFs in email get lost. A link opens on the customer's phone in one tap. They see totals, terms and photos in one place.

SMS verification on approval confirms the right person signed off — useful when partners or property managers are involved.

Keep scope tight and questions welcome

Ambiguous quotes stall. If options exist (standard vs premium fixtures), show them as separate lines or optional items.

A short follow-up text with the link is fine — ProperTradie prefills SMS from your number.
