Thomas, plumber: "I follow up on quotes from WhatsApp, in 30 seconds"

Thomas, a plumber in Lyon — 3 months with Bridge Agent


Thomas runs a small plumbing business with two apprentices. Before Bridge Agent, he'd come home from a job site in the evening and still spend an hour replying to emails, following up on quotes, and updating his schedule.


The turning point


*"I had 8 quotes pending. I knew some clients were just waiting for a nudge to confirm. But after a full day on site, that's the last thing I felt like doing."*


A friend tells him about Bridge Agent. He books a discovery call.


Getting set up


Within 24 hours, his agent is configured on WhatsApp. Two main use cases:


1. Quote follow-ups

Thomas simply sends: *"Follow up on quotes with no reply for more than 5 days"*

The agent identifies the relevant quotes, sends personalized follow-up emails, and Thomas gets a summary.


2. Appointment reminders

The day before each job, the agent automatically sends the client a confirmation text. The result: missed appointments dropped by 80%.


Results after 3 months


  • **8 to 12 quotes followed up automatically every month**
  • **3 to 5 extra confirmations** directly tied to those follow-ups
  • **45 minutes saved every evening**
  • *"I now run my business from my phone, between job sites."*

  • What he takes away from it


    *"What won me over is that it talks like me. I send a message like I would to a colleague, and the agent gets it. No need to learn anything."*
