Not all enquiries are equal. You know this.
Some people message you knowing exactly what they want and what they're prepared to spend. Others have no idea — and no real intention of spending anything right now.
The problem is they both look the same in your inbox.
What makes a good fencing lead?
A good lead tells you three things before you've said a word:
- How big the job is - fence length, rough property layout
- What they want - fence type, style, material
- Whether they're serious - they've done some homework, they have a rough idea of cost
Most enquiries give you none of that. You get a name and a suburb and spend the next 20 minutes trying to figure out if it's worth your time.
A simple fix: make them measure it first
Before a customer contacts you, give them a tool to measure the job themselves. Tradies Tools does exactly this — it's a link you share (on Facebook, your website, wherever) and customers use it to:
- Draw their fence line on a satellite map
- Choose the fence type they want
- See a price estimate based on your rates
When they submit their details to you, you already know the fence length, the style, and their ballpark budget expectation. That's a real lead.
The result
You respond faster because you already have the info. You sound more professional because you know the job before you call. And you stop chasing leads that were never going anywhere.
More quotes. Less wasted measuring.
