Frequently Asked Questions
How do plumbers create estimates on-site with Business Genie?
The mobile app lets plumbers build professional estimates in 5-10 minutes while on-site. They select items from your company price book—water heater models, pipe materials, labor hours, fixtures, permit fees. The system calculates totals including tax automatically. Plumbers can add photos of the problem (leaking pipe, corroded fitting, failing equipment) directly in the estimate. They can present multiple options (repair vs. replace, standard vs. premium fixtures) so customers can choose their budget level. Estimates are emailed or texted to the customer for review and e-signature approval.
What is good-better-best pricing and why does it help plumbers?
Good-better-best (also called tiered pricing) means presenting three options instead of a single price. For a water heater replacement: "Good" is a basic 40-gallon tank ($1,200), "Better" is a high-efficiency model ($1,800), "Best" is a tankless unit ($3,500). Studies show this approach increases average ticket size by 20-35% because customers often pick the middle option. It also reduces price objections—instead of "too expensive," customers feel they have choices. Business Genie makes it easy to build tiered estimates with your pre-configured option packages.
How does electronic signature work for plumbing estimates?
When a plumber presents an estimate, the customer can approve it with an electronic signature right on the plumber's tablet or their own phone. They don't need to create an account or download an app—they just tap the signature field and sign with their finger. The signed estimate is timestamped and stored in the customer's record. It's legally binding and eliminates the "I need to think about it" delays. Many plumbers report closing 40% more jobs same-day when using e-signatures versus leaving paper estimates behind.
Can Business Genie track which plumbing estimates get accepted?
Yes. The reporting dashboard shows your estimate conversion rates—overall and by job type, plumber, and price range. You can see which types of jobs (drain cleaning vs. water heater replacement vs. remodels) have the highest close rates. You can identify if certain plumbers are better at closing certain job types. You can also see average time from estimate sent to approval, helping you optimize your follow-up process for pending quotes.
