Frequently asked questions
Is FollowUpDesk really worth it for a solo contractor?
If you send at least 4 quotes a month, yes. Most solo contractors stop following up after one or two tries. Booking just one extra job a year pays for FollowUpDesk for the next 12 years.
What if it's just me — do I need a CRM at all?
Yes — actually more than a team does. A team has people to chase quotes. As a solo contractor, the only person who can follow up is you, and you're on a roof all day. That's exactly what FollowUpDesk automates.
Is this simpler than Jobber or Housecall Pro?
Much simpler. Jobber and Housecall Pro are built for crews running 20+ jobs a week with scheduling, dispatching, and invoicing. FollowUpDesk just does leads, quotes, follow-ups, and reviews — the four things a solo contractor actually does.
Will the AI follow-ups sound like a robot?
No. They're tuned for contractors — short, warm, direct. The kind of message you'd actually text a customer. You can edit any message before it sends.
Can I use FollowUpDesk on my phone?
Yes. It's mobile-first by design. Update leads, send follow-ups, and request reviews from any phone or tablet.
What happens if I take on a helper or two?
Add them at no extra cost. There are no per-user fees — $29/month covers your whole crew, today and when you grow.
