I recently gave a quote to home owner and was told she needed to get one more quote before making her decision. My question is how soon should I reach back out to see if I got the bid. The quote was given last Wednesday.
You don’t. If they want you they’ll call you

Daily until they book… 
Our scheduling software (custom made by me) automatically adds a reminder call appointment 3 weeks after our quote is done and sent. We get a lot of jobs from the follow up call.

If we wait a week, they’ve already had the work done…

Not around here,… We have sent quotes and had them come back a year later
Us too, but that’s to wash their house again, lol
It depends, I only follow up if I really want the job. Like if it’s a neighborhood I’ve been trying to get into, or the jobs real easy. Or it has potential of adding more work
I will follow up on the 3rd day.

We follow up 3 days later, 5 days after that, and again 5 days after that. Typically, if one of those don’t get the conversion they’ve already had the work done. We get a decent amount of conversions from each of those follow ups though.

Thank you all. I have sent a follow up and am waiting for a response.
I do follow up from 24-72 hours after the quote is given.
You need to follow up, that’s part of the business.
If they don’t give you a response after 72 hours,then you can call them the next day or wait a week the most.
Some people are just distracted or busy and need to be reminded.
How does everyone reach back out to the potential customer? Call, text, email?
I think you know my answer on this one… 
Y’all probably show up in person, knock on the door, hand them a mint, and then ask if you could have a moment of their time.

The one thing we will never do is show up anywhere in person for any reason other than washing something…
