A full order book does not mean the right enquiries are arriving. This category collects articles on how a website filters before the first phone call costs time: making the service area visible, indicating orders of magnitude, separating trades cleanly and building a form that asks what would otherwise be settled on the phone. That includes the uncomfortable part — declining jobs below your threshold without damaging your reputation, and spreading enquiries across the year instead of drowning in them each spring. Wherever figures appear, the source is named.
