Hi [First name], it's [Your name] from [Business]. I quoted your [job] in [suburb] back in [month] and never followed up properly, that's on me. Did you end up going ahead, or is it still on the list? Reply STOP to opt out.

That's work you already quoted. If just 2 came back, that's $0.
This is what you quoted, not what you'll win. Nobody wins them all. But nobody's said no yet either.
Here are 3 texts to send them tonight. Free.
Only send them to people who asked you for a quote in the last 6 months. Swap in your own details.

See if I'm a fitTry it
A price range on your website in about a minute.
This is the Instant Quote we build, running on a made-up business. Customers pick the job and the size, answer a couple of questions, get a range from the owner's own numbers, then book a measure-up. The people who can't afford you never cost you a Saturday.
Demo build · Demo prices · Fictional businessExactly what we set up
Three parts. We start with the one that pays fastest.
Part 1 · Your old quotes
- Kickoff: a 30-minute call. We lock your area and you send a 10-minute voice note.
- Your list: send your quotes in whatever state they're in. We clean the list and you confirm it's yours.
- Your messages: we write every text from your voice note. Nothing sends until you approve it.
- Day 7: texts go out from a business number in your name. Keen replies go straight to your phone.
Part 2 · New enquiries
- 60-second reply: every missed call and enquiry gets a reply in 60 seconds.
- The chaser: every new quote gets followed up until you get a yes or a no.
Part 3 · Your quoting system
- Your price book: built from your last 12 months of quotes, then fixed on a 45-minute call.
- Your quoting tool: text a job from the ute, get a branded PDF quote back, tap approve.
- Your website: customers get a price range from your own numbers and book a measure-up.
Every Friday: one text with what came back. Part 1 and Part 2 go live within 7 days of kickoff. Part 3 goes live within 14 days after that.
What you do: send us your old quotes and a voice note. Approve the messages. Do one 45-minute pricing call. Call hot leads back the same day. Reply to the Friday text.
The deal
2 signed jobs in 30 days, or your money back.
$997 to build your system. $149 a week once the jobs land. No contract.
The fine print, in plain words
A signed job is an accepted quote, signed or with a deposit paid, worth $2,000 or more before GST. It has to come from a quiet quote or past customer we brought back, a quote the chaser brought back, a missed call we texted back, or an enquiry we answered after hours.
The 30 days starts when the first texts go out. A lead who replies inside the 30 days and signs by day 45 counts.
You pay $997 when you sign up. That covers the build and the 30 days. Your texts go live within 7 days of kickoff, and your website quote tool and quoting tool within 14 days after that. If you get 2 signed jobs, $149 a week starts that day. If you don't, you get every dollar back within 5 business days of day 45, the system is switched off and you keep every reply.
Your side: send your quotes within 3 days, approve the messages within 48 hours, call hot leads back the same day, re-quote within 3 business days, reply to the Friday text with every outcome and keep it on for 30 days. Miss one and the clock extends by those days.
Who it's for
For design and construct landscapers.
Jobs averaging $5,000 or more, and at least 60 quotes from the last 6 months with names and mobiles.
Not for mowing rounds, or anyone booked out for months on referrals. If your numbers can't support the deal, I'll tell you on the call.
The honest bit
I'm early.
You won't see a wall of five-star reviews here, because I won't make them up. So I carry the risk instead: 2 signed jobs or every dollar back. Conditions apply.
The 20-minute call
No slides. Your numbers, your own quote tool.
Before we talk, I build your Instant Quote from your own website. Then I ring your mobile:
5 minutes on your numbers. 7 minutes with your quote tool running on your phone. 5 minutes on the deal and every condition. Then a straight yes, no or not yet. If my deal can't work on your numbers, I'll tell you.
Calls run Monday to Thursday, 5:00 to 7:30pm, because that's when you're off the tools. What to have handy.
Questions
What's the catch?
You need 60 old quotes and you need to call hot leads back. Do that, and if you don't get 2 signed jobs, you get every dollar back.
Why do I pay up front?
The $997 pays for the build and stops people who aren't serious. If you don't get 2 signed jobs, it all comes back.
Will it sound like a robot?
No. Every message is written from a voice note you send me. Nothing goes out until you approve it.
My jobs are all different.
Most aren't as different as they feel. A deck is square metres, height, access and timber. Anything odd goes to "price on request" and comes straight to you.
Won't competitors see my prices?
They see a range, not your rates. They can already ring up and ask.
Do I need new software?
No. It works with the phone you already carry.
Can you message my old quotes?
We only message people who asked you for a quote in the last 6 months, about that quote, and your past customers. Every message names your business and has an easy STOP. You confirm the list before anything sends.
What if I don't get 2 signed jobs?
You get every dollar back within 5 business days of day 45. The system is switched off and you keep every reply. The conditions are in the fine print above.
Do I need to be at a computer for the call?
No. I ring your mobile, and text you the link to your quote tool while we talk.
Who's behind this?
Daniel Rasmus, Quest Communications, Melbourne.
One landscaper per area. I build 4 a month.

Not yet.
I won't take you on yet. The numbers can't support my deal and I only take jobs I'm confident I'll win. The 3 texts above are yours to keep. Send them tonight.
When you've got 60 quotes from the last 6 months and jobs averaging $5,000 or more, come back.

This one's for landscapers.
This page is for landscaping business owners. If you're after a landscaper, ask a few local ones for a quote, and if one goes quiet, give them a nudge. They'll be glad you did.
