Lead Follow-Up System for Contractors & Local Service Businesses
Stop losing jobs after the estimate goes out. Lead Recovery System gives owner-led contractors one simple Google Sheets workflow for estimates, callbacks, site visits and warm leads that still need a next step.
More leads are not always the problem
For remodelers, roofers, landscapers, painters, cleaners and other local service businesses, the expensive part often happens before the sale: ads, referrals, phone calls, site visits and estimates. When the quote has been sent, the prospect may still need two, three or more follow-ups before making a decision.
If those follow-ups live in an inbox, a notebook, a calendar reminder or the owner's memory, good opportunities can quietly go cold.
A simple estimate follow-up system
Lead Recovery System Standard is designed for smaller service businesses that need better follow-up discipline without adopting a heavy CRM. Your leads stay in your own Google Sheet, and the TODAY view shows who needs attention now.
- Track new enquiries, estimates and active opportunities in one place.
- See due and overdue follow-ups each day.
- Use a repeatable follow-up cadence instead of guessing when to call again.
- Record what happened and keep the next action visible.
- Use editable message templates for common follow-up situations.
- Receive daily and weekly reminder emails for follow-up work.
Common contractor follow-up situations
The estimate was sent but the homeowner went quiet
The job is not necessarily lost. The prospect may be comparing bids, waiting for a spouse or partner, arranging financing or simply busy. LRS keeps the next follow-up date visible so the opportunity does not disappear.
The prospect said “call me next week”
Instead of relying on memory, record the next action and date. When that day arrives, the lead appears in the TODAY workflow.
You are managing sales while running the business
Owner-operators often switch between quoting, job sites, suppliers, crews and customers. LRS is built around a short daily routine so follow-up can stay consistent even when the day gets busy.
Who it fits best
LRS is a strong fit for owner-led service businesses that receive roughly 5–50 new leads per month and normally need a quote, estimate, visit, call or several contacts before closing.
Typical examples include remodeling companies, general contractors, roofing companies, landscaping businesses, painting companies, commercial cleaning firms and similar higher-value local services.
What Lead Recovery System is not
Standard is not a full enterprise CRM, call center platform or automated email/SMS sender. It organizes the follow-up workflow, tells you who needs attention and gives you editable templates. You still make the call or send the message yourself.
Pricing
Lead Recovery System Standard is available at $34.99/month or $299/year for one purchaser, one business and one activated Google Sheet. The annual option saves $120.88 compared with 12 monthly payments. Cancel anytime before your next renewal.

Roofing crew? Load the truck right the first time
Forgotten fasteners, flashing or a second tarp can cost a trip back to the shop. Jobsite Ready Team is a Google Sheets truck loading checklist for roofing crews: you plan the job on your laptop, your crew checks every item on their phone, and every line shows READY, MISSING or TO CHECK before the truck leaves. One-time purchase.
