Ask every contractor in town for a quote while you sleep
Chris Koerner wanted pool quotes without sitting through sales visits. His AI agent found pool companies across Dallas-Fort Worth, emailed each one his plans, and asked for a ballpark price by email. He says it contacted 82 and had 5 prices back when he posted.
Workflow
1. Gather what a contractor needs to price the job. Koerner's agent asked for his pool drawings, the type and rough size, must-have features, a budget range, and a timeline. 2. Ask the agent to find every company in your area that does the job and log each one in a Google Sheet with contact info, quote status, and price. 3. Read and approve the email before anything goes out. His agent drafted it and waited for his sign-off. 4. In the email, ask for a ballpark price by email first and say you'd rather not get on a call yet. 5. Let it send the emails, answer follow-up questions, and log every reply and price in the sheet. 6. Compare prices in the sheet. Expect a low reply rate: only 5 of 82 had answered when he posted.
