Helen rings while you’re up a ladder
She won’t leave a voicemail. Most people don’t. Nine seconds later she’s had a text in your name asking what the job is, with a link to your WhatsApp if she’d rather message there.

We’re after a single-storey extension at the back. Could you come and have a look? We’re in Beckenham.
Thanks. Roughly when are you hoping to start, and what’s your name?
In the next couple of months ideally. It’s Helen, Helen Marsh.

Nothing back, so it chases. Then she says yes.
Three days after the price, Helen gets a friendly check-in. She replies, the chasing stops by itself, and you ring her to sort a start date. If she’d stayed quiet, it would have tried again after a week.
Hi Helen, just checking the price for the extension came through OK. Happy to answer any questions. Ralph
