Window cleaning CRM for quotes and repeat customers
Window quotes go cold quickly. Follow up before the next rain.
A window cleaning CRM, the same idea as a window washing CRM, keeps quotes, storefront routes and repeat customers in one place. Puffly follows up when a quote goes quiet and texts back missed calls. The CRM is free to start. Text-back comes with Ascended, $449 a month.
A window cleaner's income comes from repeat customers on a route. Puffly helps you turn one-time quotes into standing visits and keeps track of who is due.
Where window cleaning company leads come from
Realtors getting a home ready to list
Listings need clean glass before photos and open houses. Agents who trust you send you the rush jobs.
Storefronts and office managers
Commercial buildings want the same crew on the same schedule. These are fewer calls but longer relationships.
Neighbors on a street you already serve
When your van is on a block all morning, the people next door notice. That's when they ask for a price.
Builders finishing a new home
Construction leaves stickers, paint and dust on every pane. Builders call for a final clean before handing over keys.
What slow follow up costs a window cleaning company
A window quote is easy to put off. A homeowner says they'll think about it, the weather turns, and the job slides for months. If nobody nudges them, they forget who gave the price, and the twice-a-year customer you could have had never happens.
Window cleaning CRM features: quotes, follow-up and missed-call text back
Puffly's pipeline is yours to name. Here is one way a window cleaning company could lay it out.
- Pane count requestedYou need a rough count of windows, stories and screens before you can price it.
- Quote sentThe price is out, and you know whether it includes screens, tracks and sills.
- Booked on a route dayThey're slotted in with other jobs nearby so the truck isn't wasting drive time.
- Cleaned and paidThe work is done and the customer has seen the difference.
- On the recurring listThey've agreed to a spring and fall visit, or a monthly storefront route.
Follow up moments worth a reminder
Homeowner said "let me think about it" after you quoted on Thursday
"Hi Carla, it's Tom from the window crew. No pressure on the quote. I'll be in your neighborhood next Tuesday if you want to add it to that run."
A spring cleaning customer from last year
"Hi Ben, we did all your windows last April. Want the same again? Book by the end of the week and I can fit you in with your neighbors on Oak Lane."
A boutique owner asked about monthly storefront service
"Hi Nina, thanks for asking about monthly glass cleaning. I put together a simple plan for the front windows and door. Want me to send it over?"
Puff, your AI teammate, drafts these messages and lines up who to call next. You approve or edit each draft, even from a phone notification, and you get 10 seconds to cancel before it sends.
The shape of the year
Spring and the weeks before holidays are usually busy, and calls often jump after pollen or a storm. Winter slows down in colder areas, so use it to sign storefronts and agents to standing schedules.
Missed calls and after-hours calls
Window cleaning work misses calls because the person who would answer is already with a customer. Listings need clean glass before photos and open houses. Agents who trust. The next caller rarely leaves a voicemail they trust. They phone another window cleaning company and book whoever picks up.
Missed-call text back covers that gap. The call still rings your phone first. If you do not pick up, the caller gets one text in your words, with your business name and a reply STOP line, and the missed call is saved as a lead. Consent and quiet hours still apply. If no text goes out, the call says why. It comes with the Ascended plan at $449 a month.
Spring and the weeks before holidays are usually busy, and calls often jump after. That is when an unanswered phone costs the most jobs. An AI receptionist can pick up, take the details and book a time when you allow it. Each call ends as Booked, Message, Transferred or Failed. Text back is the written reply. Many window cleaners use both.
Window cleaning lead follow-up, step by step
Window cleaning lead follow-up is a short sequence, not a pile of reminders. Work the deal in this order, and write the date on it before you leave.
- Pane count requestedCapture it the day it arrives. You need a rough count of windows, stories and screens before you can price. A window cleaning lead that stays in a private text is the one that goes cold by Thursday.
- Quote sentSend the number with the day you will check back. The price is out, and you know whether it includes screens, tracks and sills. Put that check on the window cleaning deal so it does not depend on memory.
- Booked on a route dayWhen they say yes, book the date and write what you promised. They're slotted in with other jobs nearby so the truck isn't wasting drive time. The customer should see the same facts you do.
- Cleaned and paidDo the work, then say what happens next in one message. The work is done and the customer has seen the difference. A short update prevents the call that asks if you forgot them.
- On the recurring listAfter the job, ask for the review or the next visit while it is fresh. They've agreed to a spring and fall visit, or a monthly storefront route. Then close the loop on the record.
If a window cleaning company step sits still, Puff can draft the next message and send it to your phone to approve or edit. Nothing Puff drafts goes out until you say so. The list itself is free to start.
Jobs, seasons and objections for a window cleaning company
Treat each source as its own next step. A window cleaning week usually mixes Realtors getting a home ready to list, Storefronts and office managers, Neighbors on a street you already serve, Builders finishing a new home. Write the source on the deal when you create it, along with the customer's words, so Monday's list shows a new ask apart from a repeat customer. Listings need clean glass before photos and open houses. Agents who trust you send you the rush jobs. Commercial buildings want the same crew on the same schedule. These are fewer calls but longer relationships. The point of the list is that those two do not get the same follow-up.
The deals that stall sound ordinary. Homeowner said "let me think about it" after you quoted on Thursday A useful reply names the job: "Hi Carla, it's Tom from the window crew. No pressure on the quote. I'll be in your neighborhood. A spring cleaning customer from last year "Hi Ben, we did all your windows last April. Want the same again? Book by the. Save those as tasks on the record. A busy afternoon should not be what erases them.
