Reviews
Post-emergency reviews convert 3x better than post-scheduled — the customer just felt relief. Ask immediately.
Hey :first_name: — :tech_name: from :company:. Got that :issue: fixed up today 🔧 If everything's running right, a 30-sec review helps your neighbors: :link:. Thanks!
Why it works: Fire same-day, signed by the plumber who did the work. Personal beats automated 2-3x.
Hey :first_name: — glad we got out fast and stopped that leak before it got worse today! If :tech_name: took care of you, a quick review helps other folks in a plumbing emergency find us: :link: 🙏
Why it works: Emergency customers are your most grateful. These reviews mention speed — which converts new emergency leads.
Congrats on the new :system:, :first_name:! 🎉 Big job, but it should serve you for years. If the crew treated your home right and cleaned up after, would you share a quick review? :link:
Why it works: Big-ticket jobs = highest-LTV customers. Their reviews justify the quote for the next homeowner.
Hey :first_name: — enjoy the endless hot water! ♨️ If the install went smoothly, a 30-sec review would mean a lot and helps others shopping for the same: :link:.
Why it works: Tie the ask to the specific benefit they now feel every day — endless hot water is a great hook.
Hi :first_name: — thanks for giving :company: a shot today! First impressions matter. We'd love to know how :tech_name: did — 30-sec review: :link:. Welcome aboard!
Why it works: A strong first-visit review shows prospects you deliver from the very first call.
Hi :first_name: — the honest call today was a simple fix, not a full replacement. If shooting straight earned your trust, a quick review helps others find an honest plumber: :link:.
Why it works: Plumbing is full of overselling horror stories. An honesty review is your single most persuasive asset.
Hi :first_name: — thanks for being a :company: service-plan member! Your maintenance check is done. If we're keeping things running smoothly, would you leave a quick review? :link: 🙏
Why it works: Members mention reliability and the plan — which sells the membership to new customers.
:first_name: — :years: years as our customer 🙌 A review about our reliability helps other homeowners choose us with confidence: :link:. Thanks for trusting us with your home.
Why it works: Longevity is the most persuasive signal a homeowner can read about a plumber.
Hi :first_name: — no worries if my last text got buried! If :tech_name:'s repair is holding up nicely, a 30-sec review would really help us: :link:. Last nudge, promise 🙂
Why it works: One soft Day-5 follow-up recovers 20-30% of non-responders. Keep it light.
Hey :first_name: — thanks again for calling :company: today! Quick favor — a Google review takes 30 seconds and helps us a ton: :link:. 🙏
Why it works: Short, direct, one link. Use it when you just need volume and the customer's already happy.
Review Responses
Plumbing negatives cluster on 2 things: price shock + repeat issue. Know both templates cold.
"$650 to replace a toilet flapper and fill valve?? Parts are $30 on Home Depot. Total ripoff." :first_name: — totally hear you. The parts themselves are about $50, but the $650 covers the service call, diagnosis, labor, part installation, hauling the old hardware, and our 1-year warranty. That should've been clearer before we started. I'd like to make this right. Call me: :owner_phone:.
Why it works: Own the upfront-communication gap, itemize what's included, invite direct call. Never argue the markup — future readers already discount your defense.
Use template "3am burst pipe. Tony was at my door in 45 min. Fixed it, didn't even complain. Life saver." :first_name: — Tony's 3am calls are legendary around here, glad he came through. Every minute matters with a burst pipe. Thanks for letting us help. Tell your neighbors we're up when they need us.
Why it works: Public response = future-customer marketing. Reinforces the 24/7 promise. "Tell your neighbors" plants referrals.
Surveys
Annual "haven't seen you" survey catches silent-churn customers before they switch.
Hi :first_name: — 7 days with the new :install_type:. 5 questions on tech professionalism, pricing clarity, paperwork, cleanliness, would-you-refer. 90 seconds. :survey_link:
Why it works: Day 7 = catches regret before it hardens into a bad review. Standard post-install survey for any $1K+ job.
Use template Hi :first_name: — it's been 12 months since your last service. 3 questions: 1) would you call us again? 2) if not, what changed? 3) anything bugging you now (leak, slow drain, old water heater)? 60 seconds. :survey_link:
Why it works: Catches silent churn. 18% re-engage. Opens a door for soft re-engagement + fresh job lead without being pushy.
Pulse Surveys
1-question, same-hour pulses. Triage fast.
Hey :first_name: — 1-10, how'd Tony do today? Reply with a number 🔧
Why it works: Under 7 = callback within 24 hrs. 9-10 auto-routes to review ask. Triages complaints before they become reviews.
Use template :first_name: — 7 days since the drain cleaning. Is it still clearing well? Reply 👍 or 👎.
Why it works: Drain issues often recur. Catch it in 7 days, not after a 1-star review. 👎 auto-triggers priority callback.
Referrals
Plumbing referrals have 70%+ close rate — there's no shopping around when you trust someone.
:first_name: — know any neighbors dealing with a leaky toilet, old water heater, or drains that keep backing up? $75 off their service + $75 credit to you 🔧
Why it works: Listing specific problems = pattern recognition. "Who do I know with X?" Auto-send 30 days post-service.
Use template Hi :first_name: — heading into heavy rain season. Any neighbors who'd benefit from a free sump-pump check? Sends us goodwill + helps them avoid flood damage. $50 credit per referral.
Why it works: Timing tied to specific seasonal risk = high relevance. Free-check offer is low barrier for the referee.
Thank-Yous
Pure appreciation, no CTA. Builds the trust bank.
:first_name: — :referred_name: just signed up thanks to you 🙌 $75 credit is on your account. Appreciate you sending real work our way.
Why it works: Within 1 hour of new customer booking. Confirming credit = they refer again. Acknowledges "real work" = respects their gift.
Use template Hi :first_name: — 5 years of calling us for your home's plumbing. That means a lot. No ask, no offer, just grateful. If you ever need anything, you know where we are.
Why it works: Pure gratitude, zero ask. These messages get screenshotted + shared. Generate unprompted referrals 30-60 days later.
Reminders
ETAs, water heater lifespan alerts, membership renewals, annual inspections.
Hey :first_name: — Tony's 20 min out, white van, :plate: 🚐 He'll wear booties at the door.
Why it works: Van plate + booties = trust signals (especially for women home alone). GPS-triggered. Cuts no-show callbacks 55%.
Use template Hi :first_name: — your water heater's now 11 yrs old (we installed it :install_year:). Most fail at 10-12. Free pre-failure check this week? :calendar:
Why it works: Pre-failure outreach = you replace before a flood. Uses your CRM install data. Massive retention + replacement conversion.
Marketing
Seasonal campaigns, new service launches, financing promos.

Why it works: Pure value. 60%+ open rate. Soft reply CTA generates inbound questions → service bookings.
Use template Happy 3-year anniversary, :first_name: 🎉 3 yrs since your repipe. Still holding up? Reply if anything's off — free diagnostic on us.
Why it works: Keeps you top-of-mind. Catches small issues before they become "I called a different plumber."
