An automated SMS sequence turned ignored estimates into signed jobs.
Proposals go out, silence follows. Nothing. Tom's in Killeen, running Precise Painting & Roofing, and his team is drowning—not in work, but in missed opportunities. Somewhere in a dark folder on his JobTread account sits $1.8 million in forgotten estimates. Dead leads. Written off. But not gone.
Proposal goes out. No reminder. No follow-up. Job dies in silence. Customer forgets. Tom never knows why.
Proposal goes out. Three texts go out on autopilot. Replies come back. Tom doesn't lift a finger. Jobs close.
JobTread finds the proposal. Zapier sees it. Go High Level sends it. No manual work. No spreadsheets. Three touch points, each timed to interrupt the right moment. That's it. That's the system.
JobTread triggers the workflow when a proposal is created and sits inactive.
The customer gets their estimate via text—showing it arrived, anchoring the number in their mind.
A gentle follow-up. Soft pressure. Did they see it? Ready to talk?
Last message. No pressure. Just one more chance to say yes.
Sequence stops. Tom gets a notification. Conversation begins.
These aren't guesses. These are the three biggest wins. Real names. Real amounts. Real conversations.
