The patch you cover

A trade based here might work across the town centre, Barnes Cray to the south-west, Perry Street to the north and Slade Green beyond that. All of these are in the directory's area pages. That is a lot of driving, and a lot of time on a ladder or under a floor, which is exactly when new messages arrive.

Three places jobs are lost

The first reply. A customer asking three firms for a price will often go with the first that answers properly.

The site visit. Back-and-forth over times eats evenings. Booking against a live diary ends it.

The quote. After the quote leaves, a polite reminder is the most valuable message in the trade, and the one least likely to be sent.

What the agent handles

Dean Keating's agents handle all three. They reply on email, web and WhatsApp within minutes, day or night. They ask the questions you would ask: what the job is, which road or neighbourhood, what the customer's timing is. They book visits into your diary, send confirmations and reminders, send quotes and follow up the ones nobody has answered.

What stays with you

Pricing a job, judging the work and the conversation on site. An agent should never invent a price for a job it has not seen. A good setup passes anything urgent or unusual straight to you.

Starting small

He starts with the one task that would make the biggest difference. For most trades that is the first reply, then quote chasing. You can add the rest later.
