Complete Guide
Most contractors don't have a closing problem. They have a filtering problem.
You quote every lead that calls. You drive to every site that asks. You write proposals for customers who were never serious. This guide covers the complete system for qualifying leads before you invest time, mileage, or money in the wrong ones.

Our Verdict
FAQ
What contractors ask before switching.
What is lead qualification for contractors?
Lead qualification is the process of evaluating an inbound lead before investing time in it. For contractors, it means asking 5 key questions on the first call to determine whether a lead has the right project, budget, decision-making authority, motivation, and timeline to become a real job.
How long does it take to qualify a lead?
Under 5 minutes on the first call using the Lead Score framework. The 5 questions can be worked into any normal discovery conversation — they don't feel like an interview to the customer.
What's the difference between a Great Fit and a Possible Fit?
A Great Fit scores +4 or +5 — strong signals on all 5 factors. Pursue fast. A Possible Fit scores +2 or +3 — some uncertainty but worth pursuing. A Possible Fit gets a follow-up call, not a site visit yet. The distinction protects your drive time.
Should I qualify referral leads too?
Yes. A bad fit from a good referrer still wastes your time and can damage a customer relationship when you can't deliver what they expected. Score every lead regardless of source.
Does Lead Score work for any trade?
Yes. The 5-factor framework applies to any service business where leads call or inquire before a job starts. Roofing, remodeling, HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, painting — the qualification criteria are the same.
