Unsold estimate tracking

A Simple Unsold Estimate Tracker for Electricians

Track every open electrical estimate with an owner, status, amount, next date, and final outcome.

Direct answer

A useful unsold-estimate tracker needs only the customer, quoted work, amount, sent date, owner, current status, next follow-up date, and final outcome. The most important field is the next action date—without it, the list becomes storage instead of a workflow.

Minimum fields

Start with enough information to act without rebuilding a full CRM.

  • Customer and quoted electrical work
  • Estimate amount and version
  • Date sent and current status
  • Person responsible for the next action
  • Next follow-up date
  • Booked, declined, deferred, or lost outcome

Review it daily

Work overdue and today first. If a row has no next action, either create one or close the opportunity. A smaller accurate list is more useful than a large stale pipeline.

Move beyond a spreadsheet when ownership breaks

A spreadsheet can work for one disciplined owner. A shared follow-up workspace becomes useful when multiple people need assignments, message history, due-date actions, and a consistent view of the latest estimate.

Put it to work

Use the template now, then give the estimate a real next date.
