The Move Ends — Your Relationship Just Begins
The move is done. Your crew worked hard. Now what? A simple follow-up after the move can get you reviews, referrals, and repeat business.
People remember how a moving experience made them feel. A quick thank-you message right after the move cements a good feeling. It shows you care.
Why it matters: One referral from a happy customer is worth hundreds of dollars in free advertising.
Send a thank-you text or email within 2 hours of completing the move.
ChatGPT is a free AI writing tool at chat.openai.com.
Try this: Write a short, warm thank-you text from a moving company. The move was just completed. Keep it under 3 sentences. Sound like a real person.
Free tip: Save this message in your phone. Copy and paste it after every job. Change the customer name each time.
The best time to ask for a review is when customers are still happy from the move.
In the same thank-you message, add a Google review link.
Example: Thank you for trusting us with your move! If you have a moment, we would love a Google review. Here is the link.
Free tip: Google reviews are the most important for getting found online. Make that your first priority.
Jobber is a scheduling and follow-up tool for service businesses.
What it does: After you mark a job as complete in Jobber, it can automatically send your thank-you message and review request. You do not have to remember. It just happens.
Set it up once and every completed job gets a follow-up automatically.
Free tip: Customize the message so it sounds like you. Remove anything that sounds robotic.
Most people move every few years. But they know people who are moving right now.
A 30-day follow-up keeps your name fresh.
Send a short message: Hi, it has been a month since your move! I hope you are settling in. If you know anyone who needs a mover, we would love the referral.
ChatGPT can write this message for you.
Try this: Write a short 30-day follow-up text from a moving company asking for referrals. Keep it friendly and brief.
Free tip: Set a reminder in your calendar for 30 days after each move. Or use Jobber to send it automatically.
Sometimes something goes wrong. A item gets scratched. A delivery runs late. The customer is upset.
If you follow up fast, you can fix the problem before they leave a bad review.
Send a follow-up message the same day as the move: How did everything go today? We want to make sure you are happy with your move.
If they report a problem, call them personally. Offer to fix it or provide a discount.
Free tip: Responding to a complaint within an hour almost always prevents a bad review. Waiting until the next day almost always makes it worse.
