Short answer
I should ask about contact details, property address, service need, urgency, timeline, and fit. For landscaping, add service-specific follow-ups before quoting, scheduling, or dispatching.
This question matters because landscaping owners often miss calls while doing the work that creates revenue. A caller may need design, planting, maintenance, cleanup, hardscaping, and the first company to respond clearly often has the advantage.
Intake questions to ask
Capture the caller’s name, confirmed phone number, property address, service need, urgency, timeline, and any access notes. For landscaping, the follow-up questions should change based on the service type and whether the caller is new, existing, residential, commercial, urgent, or recurring.
Useful details include:
- Contact information and preferred callback method
- Property address and service area fit
- Service type, urgency, and timeline
- Photos, access notes, budget, or scheduling constraints when relevant
