Practical steps

Use this as a working checklist. The advice is useful on its own; MyTitan is introduced only where the workflow naturally benefits from being connected.

Step 1

Keep quotes connected to customer history

A quote is easier to approve and convert when it sits beside the customer record, prior work and relevant job context.

  • Link the quote to the customer
  • Include enough detail to avoid ambiguity
  • Keep rejected or expired quotes visible for context
Step 2

Make approval state explicit

Work should not depend on memory. Accepted, declined, pending and expired states need to be obvious to the team.

  • Use clear quote statuses
  • Record approval source
  • Convert accepted work without rebuilding the job
Step 3

Follow payment from the completed job

Cash flow improves when invoice and payment follow-up are part of the finished-work routine rather than a separate weekly chase.

  • Review invoice-ready jobs daily
  • Separate customer payment setup from software subscription billing
  • Keep manual collection paths clear where providers are not ready
Example

What this looks like in practice

  • An accepted estimate becomes a job with the same customer and work detail.
  • The team can see which quotes are waiting for approval.
  • Payment follow-up uses the completed job as evidence.
Checklist

Before you move on

  • Quotes have visible statuses.
  • Accepted work has a clean handoff into jobs.
  • Payment state is tracked without making unsupported provider claims.
