| --- | --- |
| Duct cleaning | System count, accessible ducts, property size and requested service |
| Duct repairs | Reported damage, access and affected areas |
| Ventilation installation | Rooms, intended use, existing system and project plans |
| Airflow assessment | Affected rooms, symptoms and recent changes to the property |

## Get the project details before the visit.

Capture the requested service, property type and system information. Ask where the ducts are accessible and whether there is a specific fault. Cleaning and installation require separate qualification and equipment planning.

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 pricing table covers duct-cleaning inquiries. Installation work needs its own estimating allowance. Include access time and travel when comparing a single-system home with a larger property.

Compare 10%, 20% and 30% lead-to-paid-job conversion in your budget. At $90 per lead, acquisition costs are $900, $450 and about $300 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 $90/lead |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 10% close rate | 10 | $900 |
| 20% close rate | 20 | $450 |
| 30% close rate | 30 | $300 |

## Make the first conversation useful.

Confirm the service scope before booking. For changes to a system, arrange an assessment and document the intended outcome. Record any access restrictions so the team arrives prepared.

## 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.
