Hi Jordan, one quick thought on your roof replacement. I can clarify the options or talk through what would make the decision easier. Is there one question I can answer?
Day 10Close the loop
Hi Jordan, I don’t want to crowd your inbox. Would you prefer that I keep it open, check back later, or close it out for now? Any answer is helpful.

Frequently asked questions
Follow up consistently without overdoing it.
How many times should a contractor follow up on an estimate?
A short three-touch sequence is a practical starting point: a helpful check-in, a message that removes one likely obstacle, and a close-the-loop note. Stop as soon as the customer replies or asks not to be contacted.
How long should I wait between estimate follow-ups?
Spacing messages by a few days gives the customer time to respond without making the sequence feel constant. This builder offers a seven-day option and a slower ten-day option.
What if the customer says they are not ready?
Acknowledge the answer, ask whether a specific future date would be useful, and pause the sequence. Respect a no or opt-out immediately.
Does this tool send the sequence automatically?
No. It creates drafts in your browser. Review and personalize each message, then send it through the channel the customer expects. NudgeMint does not currently send email or SMS automatically.
