Line-Item Estimating & Margin Modeling

  • Executing automated multi-touch follow-ups via email, SMS, and polite phone calls.
  • Monitoring proposal view alerts and triggering rapid check-ins while the prospect is reading.
  • Answering basic client scope questions and clarifying payment schedule terms.
  • Rescuing stalled quotes by offering seasonal incentives or scope adjustments.

Digital Contracts & Deposit Collection

  • Managing electronic signature collection via PandaDoc, DocuSign, or Jobber.
  • Embedding credit card / ACH deposit payment links to lock in project dates.
  • Verifying client terms-and-conditions acknowledgments and liability waivers.
  • Archiving countersigned agreements in Google Drive or client CRM folders.

Pipeline Hygiene & Conversion Reporting

  • Updating deal stages in HubSpot, Salesforce, Jobber, or Pipedrive in real time.
  • Logging lost quote reasons (price, competitor, timing) for executive sales insights.
  • Tracking win/loss ratios, average quote turnaround times, and sales rep close rates.
  • Delivering weekly open estimate summaries so no potential revenue slips away.

Dedicated PM Oversight & Quality Control

Clear Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about pricing confidentiality, software access security, estimating accuracy, and operational supervision.

During Phase 2 onboarding, your dedicated Project Manager documents your exact pricing rules inside a master "Estimating Matrix." We establish clear parameters: hourly labor billing rates, material markup multipliers (e.g., 25% on parts), minimum diagnostic/dispatch trip fees, volume discount tiers, and sales tax rules by jurisdiction. Your VA applies these exact formulas to every quote, and high-value or custom bids are routed for your one-click approval before sending.
Yes. Your assistant operates seamlessly within your company's domain using a dedicated email address (e.g., `quotes@yourbusiness.com` or `estimating@yourbusiness.com`) and user accounts inside your software (PandaDoc, Jobber, Housecall Pro, QuickBooks). To your clients, the communication appears 100% native, professional, and consistent with your brand voice.
Data security is non-negotiable. All SageDoer virtual assistants and project managers work under comprehensive, legally binding Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). We recommend provisioning role-based permissions in tools like QuickBooks or HubSpot with limited access (such as "Estimates / Quotes Only" without banking or payroll visibility) and sharing credentials through encrypted password managers (1Password, Bitwarden) with mandatory two-factor authentication (2FA).
Your Project Manager acts as your dedicated operations lead and QA supervisor at zero extra cost. The PM performs random spot checks on quote batches to verify that calculations and margin markups match your master rules, audits client follow-up cadences, monitors hourly production logs, and manages seamless backup coverage so your quoting pipeline never experiences delays if someone takes time off.
Zero hidden fees. You pay strictly for pure working hours logged ($6/hr on the 40 hr/week plan, or $7/hr on the 20 hr/week plan). There are no per-quote surcharges, no platform commission markups, and no long-term contractual lock-ins. You can scale up during busy seasonal bidding cycles or pause anytime with zero penalty.
