When a homeowner submits a fence quote request, they typically submit to 3–5 contractors at the same time. The contractor who calls back first wins the job 78% of the time · regardless of price, regardless of reviews.
The 5-minute data
Lead-to-call time under 5 minutes: 78% conversion. 5–60 minutes: 36% conversion. Over 60 minutes: 11% conversion.
The automation stack we install
Is your market still available?
We only work with one fence contractor per area to ensure our clients never compete with each other. Check if your city is still open.
Every form submission triggers an instant SMS to the lead, a phone call routing to the on-duty estimator, and a CRM record with auto-assigned follow-up tasks. Total elapsed time from submit to first contact: under 90 seconds.
The 7-touch follow-up cadence
- Minute 0: Auto SMS confirmation
- Minute 2: Phone call from estimator
- Hour 1: Email with portfolio + reviews
- Day 1: Follow-up SMS
- Day 3: Follow-up call
- Day 7: Soft email check-in
- Day 14: Final value-add email
This single change · moving from ‘I’ll call them tomorrow’ to ‘I’ll call them in 2 minutes’ · is the cheapest 30% revenue increase any fence company can buy.
