Dowland Tile & Flooring

For Ember Pearson

Tile and flooring is bid-heavy, sample-heavy, and timing-sensitive. Every project has a stack of decisions and a moving target on materials. Automating the early stages of a job (intake, samples, scheduling) buys back the time you spend on each lead before the floor even gets installed.

Opportunities for Dowland Tile & Flooring

A few automations you could put in place this quarter. Each one streamlines a workflow that probably runs through someone on your team today.

01

Let leads describe the job before they call

Most homeowners and contractors come in not knowing the difference between porcelain and ceramic. A simple online intake form that asks for room size, surface, and budget triages leads, gives an initial range, and books a sample appointment if it makes sense.

Time saved A few hours a week qualifying tire-kickers
02

Self-serve sample appointment booking

Coordinating in-home or showroom sample meetings eats office time. A booking tool tied to the team's calendars lets clients pick a slot themselves, with reminders before the visit so no-shows drop.

Time saved Hours a week of back-and-forth scheduling
03

Keep project updates flowing during install

Floor installs span days, and clients expect to know what's happening. Automated updates at each stage (delivery, install start, completion) cut down on inbound calls without anyone manually drafting each text.

Time saved An hour a day on routine check-ins
04

Capture reviews when the floor looks best

The day the floor goes in is the day the client is happiest. An automated text the same day with a one-click review link, ideally with a photo of the finished work, captures genuine reviews while the work is fresh.

Time saved A few minutes per job that compounds

How Salty Air helps

Automations only stick if someone owns them. Here's how we'd run it together.

  1. 1 30-minute call to talk through where the team runs through Ember
  2. 2 Pick the 2 or 3 automations that would buy back the most time on the front end of a job
  3. 3 Build them on top of whatever quoting and scheduling tools you already use
  4. 4 Train one person to own the system so the front of the funnel runs cleanly

Salty Air builds these systems for owner-operators in Salt Lake. We start with a 30-minute call. No pitch deck. We pick the highest-leverage automation and prove it out.
