Every unsold estimate in your CRM is a pool that should be in the ground. We run done-for-you SMS campaigns that re-engage old estimates, "not right now" leads, and past home show contacts — and book them straight into your calendar as qualified design consultations. You only pay when it works.
If even two of these describe your pool company, you're leaving six figures in signed contracts on the table every year.
You drove out, measured the yard, fought with the slope, did the soil assessment, went back to the office, built the 3D rendering, put together a $75K proposal — and the homeowner ghosted. That wasn't a free consultation. That was $500+ in time, gas, and design work. And it's sitting in a spreadsheet doing nothing.
They loved the freeform design. They were excited about the tanning ledge. But the kitchen reno came first, or rates were too high, or they wanted to wait until the kids were older. Next spring came and went. You never called. Neither did they. But another builder did.
You're spending $100-200 per lead on Angi and HomeAdvisor. Those leads get sent to 3-5 other builders simultaneously. Half of them are just price-shopping. Meanwhile, the warmest leads you'll ever have — homeowners who already requested your estimate, already toured your showroom, already saw your 3D rendering — are sitting in your CRM untouched.
Your office manager was supposed to call everyone back after the home show. She got through 15 numbers, left 12 voicemails, talked to 2 people, then a permit issue came up on the Henderson build and the follow-up binder went back in the drawer. That was four months ago.
Every January you're wondering where the builds are going to come from. By March you're scrambling to fill the schedule. By June you're overbooked and turning people away. By October it's slowing down again. This cycle repeats because your pipeline is reactive. It doesn't have to be.
Your best marketing is the pool in the neighbor's backyard. But you're not staying in touch with the homeowner who hired you, so they're not sending referrals. And the neighbors who saw the excavator pull up? They went to Google, not to you. Because you weren't top of mind.
You already paid to acquire these leads. You already spent the time on site visits, 3D renderings, and proposals. The only thing missing is the follow-up. That's what we built.
Pool builders aim for 22-28% gross margins. Every contract that walks out the door doesn't just cost you revenue — it costs you the margin you need to cover overhead through the slow months.
The gunite or fiberglass contract that never got signed
Add-ons they would've bought: spa, fire bowls, water features, LED lighting, PebbleTec upgrade
The neighbor who sees the pool go in, asks for a card, and becomes your next $80K build
Total lifetime value of one homeowner. Walking to your competitor.
Now count how many estimates you gave out last year that never signed. If you're like most builders doing 20-40 estimates per month with a 25-30% close rate, that's hundreds of unsigned proposals. Each one represents a backyard that should have your name on it.
We pull your database from wherever it lives — Poologics, ProDBX, Buildertrend, Jobber, a shared Google Sheet, or the filing cabinet in the back office. We clean it, deduplicate it, and segment by opportunity type. A homeowner who got an $85K gunite estimate 6 months ago needs a very different message than a couple who grabbed your card at the home & garden show 2 years ago.
We run SMS reactivation campaigns under your company name. Not robocalls. Not email blasts. Real, conversational text messages that sound like they're coming from your design consultant. Because the homeowner sees your name, remembers the 3D rendering you showed them, and thinks "yeah, we've been meaning to do that."
You don't write the messages. You don't manage replies. You don't chase anyone. You show up to the design consultation with both decision-makers at the table.
You run the on-site consultation. Walk them through updated renderings. Talk gunite vs. fiberglass. Discuss the phased approach if budget is tight — pool now, outdoor kitchen next year. Close the contract. Collect the excavation deposit. Your old estimates become this season's build schedule. Your new leads never fall through the cracks again.
We don't charge retainers. We don't charge setup fees. We don't lock you into contracts. You pay a flat fee per qualified design consultation that books into your calendar from your database. That's it.
Think about it: an Angi lead costs you $150 and gets shared with 4 other builders. A reactivated estimate costs you nothing until they're sitting at the table with you — and they already liked you enough to request a proposal the first time.
Every one of these businesses was sitting on data they'd given up on.
Here's the math for pool builders: at a 5% close rate on a $65K average build, reactivating 200 old estimates puts $650K on your build schedule. From leads you already paid for. That's 10 pools you weren't going to build otherwise.
SMS gets read. Almost every single one. Your email follow-ups land in promotions at 15% open rates. Your voicemails don't get returned. Texts get read in seconds.
The homeowner sees your company name, remembers the design consultation, and replies while they're sitting on the patio staring at the empty backyard. That's the moment you want to catch them.
From databases that haven't been touched in months or years. These people already know your brand. They just needed a reason to re-engage.
Your office manager's call list dies by Wednesday. Your email follow-up sequences go to spam. Your "we should reach out to old leads" whiteboard note has been there since last season. None of those are systems. They're intentions. This is a system.
Pool construction is a scheduling game. Excavation crews get booked. Gunite crews get booked. Your build slots fill up. The builders who fill their schedule first are the ones who start selling in January — not the ones who wait until homeowners call in April.
We time your reactivation campaign to hit in late winter, when homeowners are starting to think about summer but haven't committed to a builder yet. You re-engage them before they start shopping. Before they get quotes from three other companies. Before your competitor texts them first.
The result: your excavation schedule fills before your competitors even launch their Facebook ads. And you didn't pay $150 per shared lead to make it happen — you reactivated estimates you already invested in.
First builder in the backyard wins the contract. We make sure that's you.
If you've got the estimates sitting in a database somewhere, we've got the system that turns them into signed contracts. The only question is whether you reactivate them or let another builder get there first.
There is no third option.
Every month those estimates sit untouched is another month a competitor could reach them first. We built this system specifically for pool builders. Done-for-you. Performance-based. No risk. Book a free 10-minute demo and we'll show you the system live.
