Turn Old Quotes Into Cash (Do It Before May 15)
May 14, 2025
One Text = More Jobs Booked Fast!
Let me show you how to turn old leads into real money — and fast! There are only a few days in May where you can use this approach.
You’ve had customers call you out. You drove out, spent your gas and time, and gave a quote. Then they went silent – and you do not even know if they hired someone else or if they could still be turned into a paid job.
You’ve got a short window — just a few days — to turn these old leads into real jobs.
Here’s what’s happening:
Right now in Texas, homeowners are rushing to file their property tax protests.
(That’s where they ask the county to lower their home value so they pay less in taxes.)
To do that, they need proof of repairs needed on their property — photos, quotes, and receipts from professionals like you.
This is your chance to casually follow up with old leads without sounding pushy or sales-y, offer to help them save money on their property taxes — and, if you get lucky, book work at the same time.
Turning 1 text into several paid jobs in 7 steps:
- Scroll to the bottom of this page
- Copy the short message I wrote exactly as it is written (You can tweak it to sound like you — but don’t delete the video link. That part is critical.)
- Paste it into your phone
- Go through your old texts and Facebook messages and start pinging old leads
- Find people whom you already given quotes, but then they disappeared.
- Send them the message you copied, including the link to the video (that part is critical, as if they do not file their protest, the rest of the steps may not work)
- Say something like “Hey, I thought of you because I’m helping another customer nearby with their tax protest this week.”
- If they reply in any way (whether they already filed, or they plan to file, or just thank you for the reminder)
- Suggest that you stop by and take more photos and measurements for them to get their taxes reduced – and set up a time/date (this is the key to success!)
- Go “take new measurements plus additional photos and give a fresh estimate”
- While you’re there, offer a small discount that fits them — say, for example, that you are running a 15% off coupon — and make sure it expires soon
- They say yes — you do the price agreed on, do the job — and you cash the check
Why this works:
- Homeowners are trying to lower their property taxes
- They need updated quotes or drawings
- You give them help, and you get a second chance to win the job
- Add a small discount with a deadline, and many will say yes right there
You already spent the gas. Now’s your chance to get paid for it.
If you need help or want me to walk you through it, just reach out.
The message to copy and paste (English)
Hi, I just thought about you — I’m in the area helping another customer get some photos and a quote for their home tax protest. They said that last year, they used my quote to get their mortgage payment lowered, so that was good.
Not sure if you ever got that __________________________________ issue taken care of, but if not, I was just thinking that maybe you could do the same. My customers said if you already fixed the issue, you can show photos and invoices of the work done. If it still needs to be fixed, then I think just the photos and quotes is what my other customer used to lower their mortgage.
Here’s a quick video that I found that shows how it works: https://youtu.be/bobUeEmYrn0
Let me know if you need me to stop by and take the photos and the rest, just to see if the same thing works for you.

Hola, solo me acordé de ti — ando por tu zona ayudando a otro cliente a tomar unas fotos y hacer un presupuesto para su protesta de impuestos sobre la casa. Me dijo que el año pasado usó mi presupuesto y le bajaron el pago de la hipoteca, así que le fue bien.
No sé si tú llegaste a arreglar el problema de __________________________________, pero si no, pensé que tal vez tú también podrías hacer lo mismo. Mis clientes dicen que si ya arreglaste el problema, puedes enseñar fotos y las facturas del trabajo. Si todavía no lo has arreglado, con fotos y un presupuesto fue suficiente para que a mi otro cliente le bajaran la hipoteca.
Aquí te dejo un video corto que encontré donde explican cómo funciona:

Avísame si quieres que pase a tomar las fotos y lo demás, solo para ver si también te sirve.
