🛠️ Our Core Beliefs

Be Quick, Be Kind

Reach out within 5 minutes when someone fills out a form. Like a good neighbor knocking on your door with a cup of sugar.

Ask First

Always get permission to text. Start with something simple like: "Mind if I ask you a couple quick questions to help you pick the perfect floor?"

Keep It Simple

One message = one goal. No overwhelming sales lingo.

Stick With Them

Keep checking in until they're ready—or tell you they're not.

Respect the Space

If needed, let folks opt out gracefully.

📆 Quick Response Flow

Best for hot leads—let's catch 'em while they're thinking about their floors.
