What It's Built to Change in 90 Days | Colt Solutions

What it's built to change in the first ninety days.

Not a testimonial wall. These are the things the system is built to move, because of what it does on its own: every lead followed up, every booking confirmed, whether or not anyone remembered to.

Google reviews
Left to luck→Asked after every job

Most contractors only get reviews when a customer is happy enough to go looking on their own. With this, every customer gets a check-in text when the job is marked finished, and everyone who answers gets asked for a Google review. You never have to be the one who asks.

Time to first reply
Hours→Seconds

Miss a call between 8am and 9pm and the caller gets a text back within seconds, before they move on to the next company. Miss one after hours and they get it first thing the next morning. That gap is where a lot of jobs get lost.

Starts once your business texting is approved, usually days to a few weeks after you sign
Leads that go nowhere
Left waiting→Followed up

Weekends and the middle of a job stop being dead zones. Someone who fills out your form at 6pm on a Sunday gets a text back in under a minute, then a booking link as soon as they say yes, not on Monday when they've already hired someone else. Forms that come in late at night get their text first thing the next morning.

No-shows
Left to chance→Reminded every time

Confirmations and reminders go out on their own. A customer who can't make it cancels with one tap on the link in their confirmation, and the appointment comes off your calendar before you drive out. One who needs a different time replies, and you set it with them. Built to cut wasted drives and empty slots.

Here it is, start to finish: a real run, real times.

We filled out the form ourselves, playing the customer. The times are real, in Mountain time. Form in, text out, time picked, appointment made, confirmation sent. Nobody on the business side had to do a thing.

BOOKING FLOW · DEMO RUN

One customer, start to finish.

A made-up roofer, Summit Roofing, and a made-up customer, Sarah. Every text below is one the system sends on its own, in this order. Mike, the owner, never types a word.

Sarah calls. Mike is on a roof and can't pick up.
Summit Roofing: Hi! Thanks for calling Summit Roofing, sorry we missed you. This is Mike's office, how can I help?
Sarah: Hey, I've got a leak over the garage. Can someone come look?
Summit Roofing: Sorry to hear that. Here's a link to grab a time for a free look: summit.co/book. Pick whatever works.
She picks Tuesday at 10 AM.
Summit Roofing: You're all set, Sarah! Mike will be out Tuesday at 10 AM. Need a different time? Just reply here. Need to cancel? summit.co/cancel
The day before.
Summit Roofing: Hi Sarah, just a reminder, your free look with Summit Roofing is tomorrow at 10 AM. Reply YES to confirm or let us know if you need to reschedule.
Sarah: YES
Job done. Mike marks it finished on his phone. The next morning at 10 AM:
Summit Roofing: Hi Sarah, this is Mike's office at Summit Roofing, just wanted to make sure everything turned out great with the work we did. How'd everything look?
Sarah: Looks great, thanks!
Ten minutes later.
Summit Roofing: That's great to hear! If you got 30 seconds would you mind leaving us a quick Google review? Would mean a lot. g.page/summit-roofing
Sarah taps the link and leaves five stars. Mike never typed a word.
