The Text Message That Captured a $6,000 Job

How a 1-minute automated response turned a website form submission into a massive electrical upgrade job while the tradie was busy in a ceiling cavity.

Toowoomba, QLD

The Form Submission That Almost Went Nowhere

It was 1:13 PM on a Tuesday. Peter submitted a contact form on G-TEC Electrical's website. He needed a quote for an electrical board upgrade on his 1967-built home.

He'd visited three other electrician websites that morning. Two had contact forms. One had a phone number he could call.

The Usual Story

Normally, the form goes to an email inbox. The tradie sees it hours later. By then, the homeowner has booked someone else. The fastest responder wins.

But that's not what happened with Peter.

The Outcome

Glenn (the electrician) was pulling cable through a ceiling when Peter messaged. He didn't see it immediately.

But because Peter felt acknowledged instantly, he stopped looking for other electricians. He sent photos. He waited.

Meet Glenn: The Electrician

Glenn runs G-TEC Electrical in Toowoomba. Great tech skills, happy customers, but struggled with inconsistent lead flow and "feast or famine" cycles. He was trying to compete with big companies that had full-time office staff.

"I'd started making my own Facebook ads but had no idea what I was doing... Phil worked his magic—new website, CRM, systems. I wish I'd met him earlier."

"I'm very fortunate that Phil and I crossed digital paths a few months ago. I'd started making my own Facebook ads but had no idea what I was doing... What was meant to be a quick half-hour Zoom call turned into a two-hour chat. I decided to jump on board, and Phil worked his magic — new website, landing pages, CRM systems, SEO, and more."
