Why this exists

Junk-removal teams often lose easy jobs after a photo estimate because the customer never gets enough confidence about pricing, timing, or what happens next. The lead did not go cold on its own. The handoff did.

Why it matters: Photo-estimate businesses need an operating system for estimate recovery just as much as phone-first trades need dispatch logic. Better follow-up and clearer scope framing protect one of the easiest sales in home services.
