Best Lead Intake Questions for Home-Service Businesses

The questions to ask before quoting or scheduling a home-service job, without slowing the customer down.

Quick answer

A small home-service company does not always need a heavy CRM. It does need one reliable place to see who reached out, who needs a quote, who has been followed up with, and who is ready to book.

The practical answer

A small home-service company does not always need a heavy CRM. It does need one reliable place to see who reached out, who needs a quote, who has been followed up with, and who is ready to book.

The best system is the one the owner or office manager will actually use during a busy week.

The core stages

Use simple stages: New, Qualified, Quoted, Followed up, Won, and Lost. Add source, job type, next follow-up date, estimate amount, and the next action. That is enough to stop most leads from slipping through the cracks.

Do not overbuild the workflow before the basics are consistent.
