Lead Qualification Process for Site Preparation

This Lead Qualification Process helps site preparation contractors assess whether new projects are the right fit. It captures key information such as site size, soil conditions, scope of work, timeline, and budget. By documenting these details, contractors can quickly filter out unqualified leads and prioritize the most profitable opportunities. The process provides consistency for sales teams, improves client communication, and reduces wasted effort. With standardized lead evaluation in place, site prep companies can create efficiency, protect profitability, and maintain strong reputations for reliability. This process strengthens the sales pipeline and supports long-term business growth.
