QuietQuote: quote follow-up reminders

Helps small contractors recover quotes where the customer did not say no, just forgot to reply

Problem

Small electrical, plumbing and remodeling contractors send most quotes by email, and silence usually means the customer is busy rather than declining—so both sides forget to follow up. Owners track this in notebooks, spreadsheets, a CRM or pure memory, and several quotes slip away every month, which is lost revenue.

Solution

A dead-simple quote follow-up tool: log sent quotes (or forward the email and let it parse), set a follow-up cadence, get reminders that generate a one-click follow-up email, and track each touch and reply status, with a monthly list of silent quotes and their total value.

Users

Owner-operators of 1–10 person electrical, plumbing, remodeling and repair contractors and home service businesses

MVP

Quote and customer entry; follow-up cadence templates with due reminders; one-click follow-up email generation; reply status tagging; monthly silent-quote and value summary

Revenue

Monthly subscription (~$9–19/mo) tiered by quote volume; optional paid add-on for managed email sending.

Why now

Small operators now handle email and messages on their phones, but generic CRMs are too heavy and expensive; this vertical tool needs no ecosystem and an indie can ship an MVP in two weeks, selling through local trade groups.
