Win more tree work — chase the quotes that go quiet
You quoted the tree felling, sent it over… and nothing. Tree work is almost always shopped around, so a friendly nudge keeps you in the running — and Chas'up makes sure the follow-up happens.
The tree work quotes that go quiet
Always compared, and easy to put off:
- Tree felling & removal
- Crown reduction & thinning
- Pruning & deadwooding
- Stump grinding & removal
- Hedge cutting & reshaping
- Site clearance & “while we're here” extras
Tree work is weather- and season-led and always compared, so a quote that goes cold for a week is often lost — to whoever followed up.
Why tree surgeons lose quoted work
Customers nearly always get a few quotes for tree work, and it's easy to put off. You're up a tree all day and the quoting happens after, so the nudge gets forgotten — and another firm gets booked.
How to chase a tree work quote (without being pushy)
Send a friendly nudge around three days after the quote, then widen the gaps. Keep it helpful, not salesy — offer to talk it through or revisit the spec, and give them an easy out. A quick WhatsApp or text gets seen far faster than email. Here's the kind of thing that works:
Cheers,
[Your name] ([Business])

Let Chas'up do the chasing
The hard part isn't writing the chase — it's remembering to when you've got kit to load and the next site to get to. Chas'up keeps a list of your open quotes, tells you who to chase today (with the £ on the line), drafts the message in your words, and opens WhatsApp, text or email ready to go. You read it and press send — nothing fires off on its own, and it stops the second you mark a job won or lost.
