Hi, thanks for visiting Hudson Flooring. What are you looking at — LVP, hardwood, tile, or refinishing an existing floor?
LVP for most of the downstairs.
Great choice for durability. Roughly how many square feet, and is it over concrete or wood subfloor?
About 900 square feet. It is over concrete slab.
Thanks — slab means we will check moisture before install. Do you have the flooring picked out, or would you like to see samples in the showroom?
We would like to see samples.
Perfect. I can book a showroom visit or send a measure first. Which would you prefer, and what is your name, address and best number?
Measure first. Kim Alvarez, 5 Foxglove Ct, 555-0129.
Booked: in-home measure Thursday at 2:00 PM at 5 Foxglove Ct. Confirmation and a pre-measure note are on the way.
Industry context
How flooring work actually comes in
Flooring mixes fast retail decisions with slower remodels, replacements and builder work.
Refinishing & repair
Hardwood refinishing, staining, board replacement and repairs — often booked quickly when the floor is the priority.
Builder & remodeler work
Volume and referral work from builders, designers and general contractors that rewards reliable communication.
Flooring buyers compare, and the ones who book are the ones who got a fast, organised response with a measure scheduled. Slow replies lose the job to a showroom across town.
Praktivo captures square footage and subfloor details, books the measure and keeps quotes moving.

Where leads are being lost
Where flooring leads are being lost
Showroom traffic and online leads both die without fast, organized follow-up.
Common leaks in flooring businesses
- Website and showroom leads waiting a day for a callback.
- Measures booked without confirmation, leading to no-shows.
- Quotes that never get a follow-up after the measure.
- Refinishing inquiries not qualified for square footage and condition.
- Builder and designer referrals not followed up quickly.
- Past customers never re-contacted for other rooms.

Follow-up sequence
A flooring quote, followed up properly
Flooring decisions are price-sensitive, so the follow-up should be helpful rather than pushy.
Flooring quote — Day 0 to Day 21
- Day 0Quote sent after the measure; the agent confirms receipt.
- Day 1“Any questions on the material options or the install timeline?”
- Day 3Offers to compare two price points within your approved ranges.
- Day 7Scheduling touch: available install windows; stops on reply.
- Day 14Notes lead times on the chosen material.
- Day 21Final check-in, then nurture until they are ready.
Sequences stop automatically the moment a customer replies or opts out.
Human in control
What stays human
The agent books and follows up. Your team owns pricing and installation.
- All pricing, product recommendations and installation terms.
- Subfloor, moisture and structural decisions.
- Commercial and builder agreements.
- Warranty and defect conversations.

Approval before it goes out

No invented pricing, policies or appointments. A person always owns the final call on money and scope.
