Your lead system

What lead system does FloorIt set up for you?

Last updated · FloorIt

FloorIt sets up a lead system in your name: a CRM where every lead lands, a free estimate calendar, and texts and emails that go out on their own at the right moments. You also get a business tracker, a Google Sheet for your leads, estimates and jobs. Here is each part, and what it does for you.

Seven stages for every lead

  1. New lead. It just came in. Call within 5 minutes
  2. Contacted. You talked, but there's no estimate yet
  3. Estimate booked. It's on your calendar
  4. Estimate done. You've been to the house
  5. Offered. They have your price, but no yes yet
  6. Sold. Signed and paid
  7. Lost. A no, or no reply after the follow-up

One look at the stages tells you where your week is stuck: not enough leads, not enough booked, or not enough sold.

What goes out on its own

WhenWhat happens
A new lead comes inA text and an email from your business right away, and an alert to your phone
They don't bookShort texts and emails for about two weeks, until they book or reply
An estimate is bookedA confirmation, then reminders a day before and a couple of hours before
They miss the estimateA friendly text about 15 minutes later, with a link to pick a new time
You give a price, but no yes yetCheck-ins over about two weeks, until they say yes or no
The job is doneA thank-you with your review link, then care tips a few days later

Every message goes out under your business name, and stops when the homeowner books or replies.

The follow-up messages, in detail

Your free estimate calendar

Homeowners can pick a time themselves from a link, and your first 50 leads are booked into it by our team. Each estimate blocks an hour and asks for the address, so you never drive out without one.

Your business tracker

A Google Sheet with a row for every lead: the date, name, phone, town, where it came from, the square feet, and the estimate date and status. It's where cost per booked estimate and cost per job come from. After a year, it also shows you your own slow months.

The numbers your tracker gives you

What the system can't do for you

It can't make the call. The first few minutes after a lead comes in matter most, and that part is you. Log what happened with every lead the same day. If booked estimates are being missed, we pause leads until you're back on track.
