Automation Plan / Stormline Roofing

Every lead, every job, every review. Handled, start to finish.

This is the complete system built for Stormline: one connected machine that catches a lead the second it arrives, chases every estimate for you, and turns finished jobs into reviews and referrals. No new app to learn. It runs behind your existing phone, forms, and inbox.

Read it like a walk through your own business. Follow one homeowner from their first click all the way to a five-star review, and see exactly what happens at each step, and what it saves you.

Steps you have to remember
The idea in one breath

The parts of the job you keep dropping, handled automatically.

You are good at roofing. You are not sitting by the phone at 8pm, and you do not remember to follow up on a three-week-old quote. This system does both, on every single customer, without fail. Here is the whole thing, one stage at a time.

01
When a homeowner fills out your form

A new lead comes in

Within seconds they get a warm text and email, an invitation to book an inspection, and a gentle chase-up if they go quiet. They are only marked lost if they never respond at all.

You getEvery lead answered instantly, even at 9pm on a Saturday.
02
When they pick an inspection time

The inspection gets booked, and they show up

They get an instant confirmation, then a reminder the day before and an hour before, timed to their real slot. If they no-show, a short recovery sequence nudges them to rebook instead of vanishing.

You getA fuller schedule and fewer wasted drives to empty driveways.
03
When you mark the inspection complete

After the inspection

The homeowner is thanked while the visit is still fresh and told exactly when their estimate will land. Your team gets a heads-up to prep the quote, so nothing sits waiting.

You getYou look buttoned-up, and no estimate gets forgotten.
04
When you send the quote

The estimate goes out, and gets chased

The estimate is delivered, then followed up automatically up to three times with a friendly reminder. This is the exact step most contractors skip after a long day of work.

You getCold quotes turned into signed jobs, without you remembering to call.
This one step is where most roofing jobs quietly get lost.
05
When they have the quote but have not answered

Still deciding

Two more gentle nudges go out over a few days, then it hands off to you or a rep to close it personally. The system never marks a deal won or lost on its own. A human always makes that call.

You getThe undecided pushed along, warm, right up to the moment you close.
06
When you mark the deal won

The job is won

The customer is congratulated, the build dates get locked in, and the job moves from your sales track into the build track automatically. Nothing gets dropped in the handoff.

You getA clean handoff from selling to building, every time.
07
When you mark the deal lost

The job is lost, but kept warm

They get a kind parting message, then a 30-day pause and a seasonal check-in. If they ever come back around, the system catches them and pulls them back in.

You getLost quotes become future jobs instead of dead ends.
08
When the project is scheduled

The build begins

The homeowner is welcomed into the build, told how to prep their property, and given the dates. Your crew is alerted on their end at the same time.

You getA calm, informed customer from day one of the build.
09
While the crew is working

During the build

The homeowner gets reassuring updates while the work happens, and has a clear way to flag a problem the moment one comes up, before it becomes a complaint.

You getFewer "what is happening?" calls interrupting your day.
10
When you mark the project complete

The job is complete

They get their warranty details and a friendly request for a Google review, with one polite nudge if they forget. The ask lands right when they are happiest with the work.

You getYour star rating climbing on its own.
11
When they click the review link

They leave a review

A thank-you turns that happy customer into a referral source, with a standing offer to send their neighbors your way. The best moment to ask is captured, not missed.

You getWord-of-mouth, turned into a system instead of luck.
12
For years after the job

Kept for life

Seasonal care reminders and a standing referral incentive keep a one-time customer coming back and sending others, long after the roof is done.

You getOne roof today, quietly becoming your next few leads.
How it is organized

Two tracks: getting the job, then delivering it.

Behind those twelve steps, your customers sit on one of two tracks. It keeps selling and building cleanly separated, so nobody in the office ever loses track of where a customer actually is.

Track 1

The Sales track

From a brand-new lead to a signed job. Every stage moves the customer forward on its own.

New lead->Booked->Inspected->Quoted->Won
Track 2

The Build track

From a scheduled build to a retained, referring customer who calls you first next time.

Scheduled->Building->Complete->Review->Referral

The one bridge between them: the moment you mark a job won, that customer slides from the Sales track onto the Build track by itself. That handoff is usually where things get dropped in a busy office. Here, it cannot be.

The system in full

Simple to live with because it is thorough underneath.

You only ever see the twelve steps above. Underneath, every stage is a fully mapped workflow with its own reminders, timing, and hand-offs, engineered so nothing is left to memory.

  • ASpeed to the lead. You answer before your competitor even sees the message.
  • BReminders and no-show recovery. Booked inspections actually happen.
  • CEstimate follow-up loops. No quote is ever left to go cold.
  • DClean win handoff. Selling and building never lose each other.
  • EReview, referral, and retention. One finished job pays off for years.
