Stop Losing Estimates in Your Text Messages

If you're like most contractors, a lot of your quotes start as a text message. A customer asks for a number, you type it out from the truck, and you move on to the next job. It feels efficient. It isn't.

Text estimates are easy to lose, impossible to track, and they make you look less professional than the competitor who sent a clean, itemized quote. Worse, you have no record of what you quoted, so when the customer pushes back two weeks later, it's your memory against theirs.

The fix isn't more discipline — it's a system. When every estimate lives in one place, you can see what's pending, what's approved, and what's gone cold. You can follow up with one tap instead of scrolling through months of texts.

With Trusso, you build an itemized estimate on your phone in a couple of minutes, send it as a clean document, and watch when the customer views it. Approved estimates roll straight into a scheduled job and then an invoice. Nothing falls through the cracks.

Try it on your next quote. The difference in how you look — and how fast you get a yes — is hard to ignore.
