Speed Wins

When someone scans your QR code, they’re interested RIGHT NOW.

Respond within 5 minutes and you’re 10x more likely to win the job.

Set WhatsApp notifications on — don’t miss the buzz.

Have a template reply ready: “Hi [name], thanks for getting in touch! When’s a good time for me to pop round for a free quote?”

Be personal — use their name if they gave it.

Be specific — reference the street (“I was just working on Elm Street”).

Be available — offer 2–3 time slots, don’t make them chase you.

Don’t hard sell — offer a free, no-obligation quote.

Ask what the problem is (don’t assume from the card type).

Ask for photos if possible — saves you a wasted trip.

Give a rough ballpark if you can (“typically £X–£Y for that kind of job”).

Book the callout while they’re on the phone — “How’s Thursday morning?”

Show up on time, every time.

Bring before/after photos of similar jobs on your phone.

Give a written quote on the spot or within 24 hours.

Mention you’re working locally — “I’m on your street a lot, so no call-out fee.”

Ask for a review (Google, Trustpilot).

Leave a few business cards.

Ask: “Know any neighbours who might need similar work?”

Their next campaign from StreetStrike could target the same street again.

The leads won't close themselves. But now you know how to.
