Are You Tired of Running After Clients?

Picture this: it's 11 PM, and you just remembered you forgot to send that quote for the $8,000 water heater installation. You scramble to get it out, but you know it might be too late. Your competitor already got the job because they responded faster.

Every time you chase down updates, you're left feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. You should be focusing on fixing pipes or installing drains, not scrambling for client confirmations while your phone buzzes with missed calls.

    Meet Your New Enemy: The Chasing Chaos

    I call it 'The Chasing Chaos.' It's that annoying cycle of missed opportunities, late responses, and ultimately losing clients to those who are quicker than you. Each day, you waste hours tracking down leads and sending follow-up messages.

    How much is this chaos costing you? Let's do the math. If you're losing just one job a week because you didn't respond fast enough, you could be missing out on $4,500 in revenue monthly—$54,000 a year. It’s time to stop losing sleep over it.

      What If You Could Turn This Around?

      Imagine a system where every lead receives a response in less than 60 seconds—automatically. No more late-night scrambling, no more missed calls. Just immediate engagement that keeps your pipeline full.

      What if you could focus on plumbing jobs instead of chasing clients? The solution is here, and it’s simpler than you think. Let’s dive into how you can reclaim your time and boost your profits.

        Visualize Your Future: Freedom Awaits

        Think about waking up to a coffee in hand while your phone buzzes with notifications of booked appointments. You've got three new jobs lined up for the week, and you’re not stressed about losing leads.

        You make it to your kid’s baseball game, proud and present. Your spouse notices the difference. You’re finally running a tight operation, and your clients respect you because you deliver fast responses without chaos.

          How This Automated System Works

          The automation setup is straightforward. When a potential client submits a request for service, they receive an instant acknowledgment—think of it as your digital assistant. You’ll be notified, and the system can even schedule follow-ups for you.

          For instance, if you’re responding to clients in an average of 4 hours, imagine shrinking that down to 47 seconds. Save about 12 hours each week that you can spend on plumbing jobs, not chasing clients. That’s a huge win.

            Isn't It Time You Took Action?

            I know what you're thinking: 'This sounds complicated.' It’s not. Many plumbers are already using these systems and are reaping the rewards. Don’t let fear hold you back from leveling up your business.

            Every day you wait is another day of lost leads. How many jobs did you lose last month because you called back too slow? It’s time to act. Book a free strategy call with me at https://cal.com/jon-dipilato/30min. You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.
