Handyman Guide

How to Automate Lead & Client Tracking as a Handyman

You finish a job, mention a future repair like Mrs. Morales' loose deck railing, and plan to quote it later. But between driving to the next stop and buying parts, that verbal lead slips away. Three weeks pass, she hires someone else from Thumbtack, and you lose an $800 opportunity just because you didn't track the conversation.

The Current Reality

The Manual Way

Jotting notes on your hand, scrap paper, or leaving a voice memo you never transcribe. Later, you try to recall details but forget the client's last name or specific repair needs.

45 minutes daily reconstructing memory
  1. Write 'Morales deck?' on your palm while driving to the next job.
  2. Wash hands at lunch and lose the note completely.
  3. Try to remember the scope of work days later when checking your notes app.
  4. Realize you don't have the square footage or railing type recorded.
  5. Delay sending the quote until you can drive back to measure, by which time the client has hired someone else.

With Christine AI

The Christine Way

Voice-note the lead right after the job. Christine transcribes it, sets a follow-up reminder, and drafts the estimate email for your approval before you even start your truck.

You

Voice note in the driveway: 'Just finished Morales faucet. She mentioned the deck railing is loose. Quote her for 2 hours labor plus hardware to tighten it.'

Christine

Transcribes note, adds 'Morales Deck Quote' to Google Sheets pipeline, and schedules a reminder for 4 PM today to send the estimate.

You

Text: 'Send that deck quote to Mrs. Morales now. Rate is $65/hr.'

Christine

Drafts a professional email with the $130 labor + materials breakdown and sends it via Gmail immediately.

Just left the Singh house. Fixed the fence post but he asked about staining the whole yard next month. Can you log that?
