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 6 July 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.
