1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:08,800
Most removal quotes do not die because
the price is wrong. They die because the

2
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:15,200
process around the quote is clunky,
slow, or unclear.

3
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:20,320
And that's actually good news because it
means a lot of removal companies are

4
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:26,400
leaving bookings on the table without
even realising it. Not because they're

5
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:32,559
overpriced, but because the customer
experience between quote sent and

6
00:00:32,559 --> 00:00:38,640
decision made is weak. If you can
tighten that part of the journey up, you

7
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:44,079
can often win more work without dropping
your prices

8
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:48,160
and without chasing people like
lunatics.

9
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:52,800
I'm Misha Cunningham, founder of
Move and Store. And in this video, I

10
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:59,320
want to show you what actually helps
customers say yes.

11
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,520
This is the bit which most operators
underestimate.

12
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:10,240
So you send the quote then nothing
happens and in that silence the sale

13
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:17,840
either stays alive or dies quietly.
The customer might have questions. They

14
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,439
might be comparing you with someone else
and they're probably comparing you with

15
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:27,200
somebody else. They might not fully
understand the quote or they might even

16
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:32,640
mean to come back to you later but then
just life gets in the way. So what

17
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,920
happens in that gap often decides the
sale,

18
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,840
not just a number on the page.
If the quote is awkward to understand or

19
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:50,000
slow to arrive or gives a customer no
obvious next step, the energy drops

20
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,640
immediately.
And once that energy drops,

21
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,759
good luck dragging it back.

22
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:04,719
Before a customer says yes, they usually
need four things.

23
00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:11,599
The first is confidence. They need to
feel like you're organised, serious, and

24
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:18,879
safe to trust with their move.
The second is clear pricing. not vague,

25
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:23,760
not confusing, not the kind of quote
where they're left wondering what is and

26
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:29,520
is not included.
The third trust signals and that could

27
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:37,040
be branding, professionalism, clarity,
that polish, the way that the quote is

28
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:43,120
presented and how easy it is to
understand. All of that adds up. And

29
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:51,280
fourth, a convenient next step. Now,
this one matters a lot. If they like the

30
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:58,480
quote, what do they do next? Reply to an
email, call you back later, wait until

31
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:03,680
tomorrow, dig through WhatsApp messages.
That hesitation

32
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:09,840
is where bookings leak.
A good quote should not just explain the

33
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:16,680
price,
it should make the next move obvious.

34
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,599
These are the things that quietly mess
you up.

35
00:03:21,599 --> 00:03:26,959
A clunky process. So if the
customer has to work too hard to

36
00:03:26,959 --> 00:03:32,400
understand, reply or ask questions or
secure the booking, then you create

37
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,440
friction,
a slow response. If the quote comes in

38
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,720
late or followup is patchy or not at
all, your professionalism takes a hit

39
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:47,120
because the move hasn't even started
yet.

40
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:53,360
And an unclear next step. If the
customer is interested but does not know

41
00:03:53,360 --> 00:04:00,000
exactly how to move forward, they stall.
And when a customer stalls,

42
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,200
they don't always say no. They just
drift.

43
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,879
And in that drift, it leaves a door open
for one of your competitors

44
00:04:10,879 --> 00:04:15,599
to seal the deal.
And that's why so many operators think,

45
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:19,680
"We've sent lots of quotes this
week, but not many have converted. It's

46
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,840
just the market or nobody's moving." And
look, it's not usually because the

47
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:28,080
market is terrible.
It's because the process is making it

48
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:35,040
too easy to delay.
Now, the good news, a better quote

49
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:42,000
experience is absolutely possible.
Instead of messy communication,

50
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:48,720
slow back and forward, unclear pricing,
and no commitment path,

51
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,919
you give the customer something that
feels professional, clear, and easy to

52
00:04:53,919 --> 00:04:58,080
act on.
So, let me show you what that looks like

53
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:07,360
in practice inside Move and Store.
So, when a lead comes in, you can create

54
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:18,160
a branded quote quickly and the pricing
is clean. The additional options

55
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:23,520
you've added are easily visible and easy
to understand.

56
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:29,360
It's professional obviously will have
your logo, your branding.

57
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,840
There's if there's any questions, they
they know exactly how to get back in

58
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:39,280
touch with you. If you have storage as
an optional extra, then we can display

59
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:44,160
that as well.
Terms and conditions, including

60
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:50,720
cancellation policies, any notes that
you'd like them to be aware of. terms of

61
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:57,360
service, if you offer liability cover,
and a link to full terms. All this is

62
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:05,280
vital in increasing the professionalism
and how customers view you.

63
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:11,600
But crucially,
there's a clear next step.

64
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:18,479
Whether that's paying the deposit to
secure the booking or

65
00:06:18,479 --> 00:06:24,560
paying in full to lock it in fully, the
customer can actually pull out their

66
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:31,199
phone, scan a QR code or continue from
the device that they're on to go forward

67
00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:39,440
into checkout and make that payment.
And because the quote and the follow-up

68
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:46,400
and the booking flow all live together,
you're not relying on memory or inboxes

69
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:54,319
or random notes to keep the sale alive.
That means less friction for the

70
00:06:54,319 --> 00:07:02,880
customer and less admin drag for you.
And that's the point. The sale often

71
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:08,800
does not happen in some dramatic
negotiation over price.

72
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:15,280
It happens when the customer opens the
quote and instantly feels, "Yeah, this

73
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:23,919
looks legit. Yeah, I understand it.
Yeah, I know what to do next."

74
00:07:23,919 --> 00:07:28,960
So, if you want to make it easier for
customers to say yes,

75
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:34,319
don't just look at your pricing.
Look at your quote experience

76
00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:42,720
because smoother wins, clearer wins,
easier wins. And if you want to see what

77
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,440
this looks like properly,
book a no pressure demo at

78
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:52,960

and I'll walk you through it.
