Common questions

How does replying fast actually win more jobs?

Most homeowners send the same enquiry to two or three tradies. The first one who replies with a clear, helpful answer usually gets the call-back. This lesson gets you replying in under a minute.

What if I don't have enough information to quote from the enquiry?

The lesson specifically covers this. You ask AI to draft a reply that answers what it can, then asks the one or two questions you actually need — without coming across as unhelpful or making the customer feel interrogated.

Will the reply sound like a form letter rather than coming from a real person?

Not if you give the AI a line about how you like to come across. Something like 'friendly, direct, not salesy' is enough to make it feel personal. You can always add your own touch before sending.

What if the customer's enquiry is vague or poorly worded?

Paste it in as-is. The AI can handle ambiguous requests and will draft a reply that clarifies without being condescending — often better than you'd manage on the fly after a long day on the tools.

Do I need to review it before sending?

Yes, always — that's part of the process. A 15-second read-through and you're done. You catch anything that doesn't sound right and send with confidence.
