Modernization is key to adapting in our fast-paced world. The companies – and industries – that don’t catch up will eventually fail. Every now and then, a new product innovates and helps old industries adapt to the new era.
Fence construction is one of those old industries and most fence companies use processes that have not changed in decades. In particular, their method of getting new business usually goes like this:
A homeowner sees a nice fence. They’re interested, so they call a local fence company to ask for a price. The fence company sends an estimator out to their house to measure the fence. Depending on the workload, getting the estimate back to the prospect can take up to 4 days.
Once the estimate is provided, the customer decides whether the fence is in his or her price range or not. 4 out of 5 times the customer says no.
RemoteQuote – a California-based Software company – is changing this.
As the owner of a premium residential fence business himself, Connor felt the pain of this inefficiency. His company – Mike’s Fences – was getting more leads than they could handle. Yet, he was struggling to close sales and take back his time. The problem most of the time? Homeowners didn’t have any idea how much fences actually cost.
Then it struck him… He imagined software that provided online estimates to prospects interested in buying a fence. Customers could draw a fence on a map to get their measurements, select the type of fence they wanted, and get an instant estimate.
For the past 2 years, Connor worked to build RemoteQuote, all while still running Mike’s Fences. Once RemoteQuote was ready, Connor implemented it into Mike’s Fences operations. The results have been outstanding.
Since starting to use RemoteQuote, Mike’s Fences has been able to cut down on-site estimates by 50% and the total number of sales have increased!
By providing online estimates, a prospect can now get a rough estimate in seconds. If the price is right for them, they´ll move forward with the buying process and ask for an on-site estimate. Otherwise, they got the information they needed without wasting their time or taking any of the company’s resources. A true win-win.
As millennials continue to become the largest group of new homeowners (43% of homebuyers in 2022), the desire for a quick and easy quoting process will only continue to grow and RemoteQuote will be ready to equip fence contractors with the tools necessary to compete in the new era of our “Instant Economy”.
