Why Speed Matters
Customers who contact several providers often continue the conversation with whoever answers first and sounds helpful. A quick reply shows reliability and gives you the first chance to understand the requirement. If you cannot answer instantly, assign one person to check enquiries during business hours.
A Simple Five-Step Response Workflow
- Answer or call back quickly and greet professionally.
- Qualify the lead with a few questions.
- Send a clear quotation by message or email.
- Follow up on a fixed schedule.
- Record the result in your tracking sheet.
Qualifying Questions That Save Time
- What exactly do you need?
- Where is the service required?
- When do you need it?
- Do you have a budget in mind?
- Are you comparing other providers?
These questions separate genuine buyers from casual browsers and help you quote accurately.
A Short Call Script
"Hello, this is [Name] from [Business]. Thank you for contacting us through Justdial. May I ask what you are looking for and when you need it?"
Listen first, confirm the requirement back to the customer, and tell them clearly what happens next.
A WhatsApp or SMS Follow-Up Template
"Hi [Name], thank you for speaking with us. As discussed, here is the quotation for [service] at [location]: [details]. Please let us know if you would like to proceed or have any questions."
Write Quotations Customers Understand
Keep quotations short and specific. Mention what is included, what is not, timelines and how to confirm. Clear pricing reduces back-and-forth and builds trust.
Follow-Up Schedule
| When | Action |
|---|---|
| Within minutes | First response and qualification |
| Same day | Send quotation |
| Day 1 to 2 | Friendly check-in |
| Day 3 to 4 | Answer questions or adjust the offer |
| Day 7 | Final follow-up |
Track Every Lead
| Date | Customer | Requirement | Qualified? | Quotation sent | Result | Revenue |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 Oct | Customer A | Service X | Yes | Yes | Won | ₹12,000 |
| 13 Oct | Customer B | Service Y | No | No | Closed | ₹0 |
After a few weeks you will see which categories, areas and response speeds produce the best customers. See Does Justdial Provide Good Quality Leads? for the metrics worth tracking.
Why Leads Sometimes Do Not Convert
- Slow replies
- Unclear pricing or scope
- No follow-up
- Services outside the customer's location
- The customer was only comparing prices
Most of these can be improved with process rather than more marketing spend.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast should I reply to a Justdial enquiry?
As quickly as you reasonably can, ideally within minutes during business hours.
How many times should I follow up?
A few polite follow-ups over a week is a sensible approach. Stop when the customer says they are not interested.
What should I ask a new lead?
Ask what they need, where, when and their approximate budget.
How do I know if a lead is qualified?
A qualified lead has a genuine requirement in your service area, a realistic timeline and can afford your offer.
Should I send quotations on WhatsApp?
Many customers like it because it is quick and easy to keep. Use the channel your customer prefers.
How do I track Justdial lead results?
Log every enquiry, qualification, quotation, result and revenue in a simple sheet, then compare cost against customers won.
Can better follow-up replace a paid plan?
Better follow-up improves the value of any enquiries you receive, free or paid. Evaluate paid plans separately using your numbers.
