Phil Risher switched from in-person home visits to remote inspections using Google Maps and phone calls. He now sends quotes in five minutes instead of the two to three days competitors take, which dramatically increased his closing rate.

About five minutes.
Two to three days.
So I was initially running out to every home, and I'm like, this is just crazy. I'm all over New Jersey. I'm running all over these houses like, they're not. I'm not closing even half of these jobs. I was like, this is a waste of time. What I did was I started using Google back then, and I would just pull up the house on Google Maps, and I would just zoom in on the front, and I would be able to tell if I could get my equipment there. Just basically access. And I would ask the customers a couple questions, and then I start selling them over the phone. Would email them instantly a quote. When all my competitors, it would take two, three days because they were running the same playbook. I could have you an estimate in five minutes. Boom. My closing rate went through the roof.
