Automatic quote follow-ups for CNC turning shops

SeekMake sends follow-up emails to customers who got a quote but did not order, on the schedule you choose. You also see when a customer views a quote, so you call at the right moment.

A buyer who asks for a price on a batch of turned bushings is often comparing several shops, and the order tends to go to whoever stays in touch. Following up by hand is easy to forget when the lathes are busy. Scheduled follow-ups keep the quote in front of the buyer, and knowing when they open it tells you when a call is worth making.

FAQ

Questions shops ask before switching

Can I choose when follow-ups are sent?

Yes. You set the schedule and the wording of the follow-up emails.

How do I know a customer viewed a quote?

SeekMake shows when a quote is opened, so you can follow up at the right moment.

Can customers order from the follow-up email?

Yes. The email links back to the quote, where they can order and pay.

What should a follow-up for a turned part quote say?

Short and practical works best: the part, the quantity, the price and the lead time, with a way to order. SeekMake sends the emails under your brand, so they read as coming from your shop.

Are follow-up emails sent in my shop's name?

Yes. Emails carry your logo, colours and domain, so the customer sees your shop, not SeekMake.

Which files can customers upload?

STEP and STL files. The part is checked and measured automatically when it is uploaded.

How much does SeekMake cost?

There is a free plan to start. Paid plans add more features, lower fees on online orders and priority support.
