You don’t just need more leads—you need better follow-up.


Too many land clearing and excavation contractors lose good opportunities because they don’t respond fast enough, follow up consistently, or stay in touch after the quote.


A lead nurturing system fixes that.


Here’s how.


1. Instant Response Wins Jobs

When someone fills out your quote form or ad, they’re often contacting 2–3 companies.


If you’re the first to respond? You’re the one they remember.


Our clients use our Lead Nurturing CRM to:

  • Auto-send a text + email within 60 seconds
  • Confirm the request was received
  • Let the prospect know when to expect a call


It builds trust fast.


2. Don’t Let Leads Go Cold

Life gets busy. Prospects don’t always respond right away.


That doesn’t mean they’re not interested—it means you need a system.


We build follow-up sequences that:

  • Send a gentle reminder after 24 hours
  • Follow up again 3 days later
  • Offer a helpful resource or answer a common question


It’s all automated—so you’re not chasing, you’re closing.


3. Nurture Cold Leads Into Future Jobs

Not every lead is ready now. Some need permits. Some are still finalizing financing. Some are just exploring.


Your system should keep you top of mind with:

  • Monthly check-ins
  • Seasonal reminders
  • Project highlights or recent job photos


When they’re finally ready, you’re the one they trust.


4. Track Every Touchpoint

A true lead nurturing system doesn’t just send messages. It tracks:

  • Open rates
  • Replies
  • Booking rates
  • Drop-off points


This helps you refine your process and close more deals.


Marketing isn’t just about traffic—it’s about turning that traffic into revenue. That’s what lead nurturing does.
