Why I Stopped Doing Sales Calls (And My Revenue Doubled)

I used to spend 3-4 hours every day on sales calls. Most were tire-kickers who "just wanted a ballpark" or weren't ready to move forward.

It was exhausting and inefficient. I was working 60-hour weeks but only 20 hours were actually productive.

The Sales Call Problem

Here's what my typical day looked like: - 9 AM: Drive 30 minutes to meet a lead - 9:30-10:30 AM: Walk the property, take measurements - 10:30-11:00 AM: Answer the same questions I always get - 11:00 AM: Drive to the next appointment - Repeat 3-4 times per day

By evening, I was exhausted and still had to create quotes. Quality suffered, and so did my family time.

The AI Solution

ScanQuote Pro's AI qualification changed everything. Now, before I even see a lead, I know: - Their exact budget range - Timeline and decision-making process - Property measurements and challenges - What they're really looking for

The AI asks better questions than I ever did. It's not trying to "sell" anything - just gathering information. Customers are more honest with it than they were with me.

The Numbers Don't Lie

Before ScanQuote Pro: - 20-25 sales calls per week - 15% close rate - $180K annual revenue - 60+ hour weeks

After ScanQuote Pro: - 5-8 qualified meetings per week - 78% close rate - $340K annual revenue (on track) - 35-40 hour weeks

What Changed

I now only meet with pre-qualified leads who: 1. Have confirmed budget 2. Are ready to move forward 3. Have realistic timelines 4. Understand the scope

When I do meet them, it's not a sales call - it's a project planning session. They've already seen the 3D model and measurements. We're just finalizing details.

The Unexpected Benefit

My stress levels dropped dramatically. No more wondering if a lead is serious. No more wasted drives across town. No more awkward budget conversations.

I actually enjoy my work again.
