A job request form your customers can fill out from any phone
Most jobs start as a text, a missed call or a message buried in Facebook. A request form gives every job the same starting point: what needs fixing, photos, the address and the best time to come by.
How it works
- Share your link
Put it on your truck, business card, Google profile, Facebook page or your text replies.
- The customer fills it out
They pick the type of work, describe the problem, add photos, choose how urgent it is and when you can come by. They can choose a quote by text or a free on-site estimate.
- You quote from your inbox
The job shows up with its own ticket number and photos. Type a price and your phone opens a ready-made text to the customer.
- They follow along
The customer gets a private page that shows the status, your price and what happens next.
What you get
- Your own job typesPick the work you take on, so customers can't ask for jobs you don't do.
- Photos with every requestUp to 4 photos, shrunk for fast loading, with location data removed.
- Quote by text or site visitRequests that need an estimate visit are tagged so you see them at a glance.
- Alerts on your phoneAn email or text the moment a request comes in.
- Add jobs by handFor phone calls and customers who don't text, type the job in yourself.
Getting good requests
- Ask for one wide photo and one close-up. The wide one shows access and surroundings; the close-up shows the damage.
- Keep your job list short. Eight to twelve choices are easier to pick from than thirty.
- Reply the same day, even if it's only to say when you'll look at it. Fast replies win jobs.
- If you can't price it from photos, choose the site-visit option instead of guessing low.
