Ready to proceed check before starting the work
A message for a customer who has agreed in principle, listing the one or two things you still need to lock their start date.
To lock in your start date of 5 December{{3}}, we just need the signed quote and 20% advance{{4}} from you. Once that is in, we will share the full schedule and the name of your site supervisor.
Shall we go ahead?
It asks the customer to complete steps for a job they have already agreed to, with no offer, so it usually counts as utility. Add a limited-time discount for confirming quickly and it becomes marketing.
Variables
| Variable | What goes in | Example |
|---|---|---|
| {{1}} | customer name | Mr. Iyer |
| {{2}} | project | the 2 BHK interior work |
| {{3}} | start date | 5 December |
| {{4}} | what you still need | the signed quote and 20% advance |
When to use it
Send this when a customer has said "yes, let us do it" but has not paid the advance or signed. Naming the exact missing item and tying it to their start date makes the next action obvious. It works for interiors, renovations, events and any service with a booking advance.
Best time to send. Within a day of the verbal yes, mid-morning, so the customer can make the payment from their desk.

Tips
- List only what is truly needed to start; a long checklist at this stage gives people a reason to delay.
- Hold the start date honestly for a stated number of days rather than inventing pressure.
- Send the payment link or UPI ID in the next message once they tap "Yes, go ahead", not before.
Variations
Shorter or warmer versions of the same message.
Hi Mr. Iyer, we are all set for your interiors. Just the signed quote and 20% advance and your 5 December start is confirmed. Shall I send the payment details?
Everything is ready to begin, Mr. Iyer. Can we confirm 5 December? We only need the advance to block the team.
