What is inside

After a storm, the fence is on the ground and the dog can get out. The customer calls once. If nobody answers, they call the next company on Google.

  1. 01

    What counts as urgent

    Call these back first, before anything else.

    • The pool fence is down or the pool gate will not close.
    • There are small kids or pets and the fence is open.
    • A fence or a post fell on something or into the street.
    • The driveway gate will not close or will not open.
  2. 02

    The five questions

    Ask them in this order, on every call.

    1. Their name and the best number to call back.
    2. The job address, with the city or neighborhood.
    3. Is it a repair, a new fence, or a gate?
    4. Is it a pool fence? Are there kids or pets in the home?
    5. About how many feet of fence? Is there a homeowners association?

    Before they hang up: If the pool fence is down, nobody should leave kids or pets alone near the water. If a power line is on the fence, they should stay away and call 911 or FPL.

    The text back

    Sent within a minute of a missed call. Change it to your own words.

    You

    Hi, this is [your company]. We saw your call. Is it a new fence or a repair? Send photos of the fence and your address, or book the estimate here: [your link]. Reply STOP to opt out.

    Only text people who called you or gave you their number for this. The first text always carries the opt-out line.

  4. 04

    The quote that went quiet

    Two short texts. Most quotes die from silence, not from a no.

    You · Day 2

    Hi [name], this is [your company]. Did you get a chance to look at the fence estimate? If the association asked for something, reply here and I will help with the paperwork.

    You · Day 7

    Hi [name]. We still have your estimate. If you want, I can hold a day to get started. Just reply YES and I will send the times.

  5. 05

    Your job board

    Every job sits in one of these columns. If you cannot say which, it is lost.

    1. Inquiry
    2. Contacted
    3. Estimate visit
    4. Estimate sent
    5. Approved
    6. Permit and install
  6. 06

    Your past customers

    Once a year, one short text to the people who already know you. Only to those who agreed.

    In March, before the rains. A loose post today is a fence on the ground after the first storm.

    You

    Hi [name], this is [your company]. The rainy season is coming. Want us to check your posts and gate this month? Book here: [your link]. Reply STOP to opt out.

    Send this text only to customers who agreed to receive texts, never before 8 AM or after 8 PM.

  7. 07

    The rules before you text

    Quiet hours, permission, the opt-out line, and your license. Six rules on one page.

    1. Do not send follow-up or promotional texts between 8 PM and 8 AM. Florida law asks for this.
    2. For promotional texts, like the reminder to past customers, you need the customer's written permission. Keep the proof.
    3. The first text carries the opt-out line. If someone replies STOP, ALTO or PARE, do not text them again.
    4. Always say who is texting: your company name, in the first text.
    5. Business texts are registered with the phone carriers. Without that registration, many texts never arrive.
    6. Do not pay or give gifts for reviews, and do not write fake reviews. Federal law bans it.

    Your license: Florida has no state license for fence installation alone. In Miami-Dade, fence work needs a permit, and the county issues a certificate of competency for fence installation. Pool fences must meet the Florida Building Code pool barrier rules.

    This is not legal advice. YaContesta.pro is a software company, not a law firm. If you have a question about your own case, ask a lawyer.

  8. 08

    The ten-minute test

    Tonight, hear what your customer hears when nobody picks up.

    • Call your own number after 6 PM, from another phone.
    • Did someone answer, or did you get voicemail?
    • Is the voicemail in English and Spanish?
    • Did a text back arrive? How long did it take?
    • Does the text have a booking link or ask for a photo?
    • The next day, did anyone call you back without being asked?

    If you checked "no" on two or more, that is where jobs are slipping away. That is what we fix.
