## Get the project details before the visit.

Capture dimensions, material preferences and the customer's intended use. Ask whether a design exists. Separate work on a raised structure from a ground-level patio and record access for materials and equipment.

Check the original inquiry date, service area and available project details. Confirm who can approve the work and the customer's preferred contact time.

## Turn your close rate into a lead budget.

The lead range concerns deck construction inquiries. Patio economics depend on the surface and base work. Include ground preparation, structure and material handling in the project contribution.

Compare 10%, 20% and 30% lead-to-paid-job conversion in your budget. At $95 per lead, acquisition costs are $950, $475 and about $317 per paid job. Add estimating and follow-up costs to get the full acquisition cost.

| Budget scenario | Paid jobs per 100 leads | Lead cost per paid job at $95/lead |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 10% close rate | 10 | $950 |
| 20% close rate | 20 | $475 |
| 30% close rate | 30 | $317 |

## Make the first conversation useful.

Arrange a site survey, then agree the layout and finish. Make stairs, rails, excavation and removal explicit in the estimate. Discuss the installation sequence around access to the home and garden.

## Review the opportunity. Then take the next step.

Check the current price, original intent age and ownership category in Matagi before buying. Match the opportunity to your service area, preferred work and available capacity.

Normal and Value leads have different purchase terms. Review prior access and the refund policy, then keep contact, appointment, quote and paid-job outcomes in your records.
