In a fast trade, the first clear quote wins
When someone's locked out, they hire whoever gets to them first. Peter Schmidt made speed his whole advantage.
Updated July 6, 2026
Peter Schmidt runs Schmidt Lock & Key. His trade runs on urgency: someone is locked out or has a broken lock, they ring round, and they book whoever responds first with a clear price. Being fast and being clear are the entire competition.
Details in, quote out, fast
A customer sends Peter a photo of the lock or door through his link, with a quick description of the problem. It arrives instantly as a request, and a new request alerts him straight away, so he can respond while the customer is still deciding who to call.
From the request he sends a clear, branded quote in minutes, itemised so the customer knows exactly what they're paying before they commit. Clarity plus speed is what turns a panicked call into a booked job.
Fast is everything in my trade, people are locked out, they call whoever answers first. Getting a clear quote to them in minutes has genuinely grown my business.
Common questions
- Will I be notified the moment a request comes in?
- Yes. A new request sends you an alert straight away, so you can respond quickly, which matters most in urgent trades.
- Can I send a quote from my phone?
- Yes. You build the quote from your saved lines and send it as a link the customer opens and accepts on their phone.
- Does the customer pay through SnapQuote?
- No. SnapQuote never handles customer payments, you state your own terms in the quote and take payment however you already do.
