Missed calls. Sticky notes. Jobs slipping through the cracks. Daily Burn turns the chaos into a controlled burn — the automation engine that runs your trade business while you run the job.
// PRE-BUILT × READY DAY ONE × LOADED INTO EVERY PLAN
// THE DAILY BURN AUTOMATION
Built to Run Your Trade Business
Six pre-built systems. Zero setup work. Every plan ships with the full Daily Burn automation loaded — the moment you log in, you're plugging the leaks.
01 // CAPTURE
Instant Lead Text-Back
Every missed call gets an instant text. No lead lost while you're on a roof, in a crawl space, or driving between jobs.
02 // ORGANIZE
Pre-Built Trade Pipeline
Lead → quoted → scheduled → done → paid. Every job tracked from the first text to the final invoice.
03 // FOLLOW UP
Automated Customer Nurture
Missed call, no-show, ghosted estimate? The system follows up so you don't have to. Every lead gets worked.
04 // CLOSE
Estimate to Invoice to Paid
Send estimates. Convert to invoices. Get paid. No spreadsheets, no follow-up calls, no chasing checks.
05 // GROW
Automatic Review Requests
Job completed? The system asks for the review. More 5-stars without you ever lifting a finger.
06 // RETAIN
Repeat & Recurring Customers
Customer follow-up workflows that keep you top-of-mind. Service reminders, win-back campaigns, all running on autopilot.
// THE COST OF DISORGANIZATION
You're Bleeding Money.
You Just Can't See It.
Every trade business runs leaks. The disorganized ones lose thousands every month and never know where it went.
$1,500/mo
Missed Calls
Miss 3 calls a month at a conservative $500 average job — that's $1,500 walking to the next contractor on the list.
$1,000/mo
Late or Forgotten Quotes
Half of trade quotes go out late or never. Just 2 lost-opportunity quotes a month at $500 each is $1,000 gone.
$575/mo
Unbilled Parts & Hours
$200 in Home Depot receipts that never made the invoice. 15 service hours at $25 nobody logged. Quietly $575 every month.

The Intangibles
Bookkeeper drowning in shoebox receipts. Inspections delayed by missed messages. Repeat truck rolls for forgotten punch list items. Real money. Hard to count.
// CONSERVATIVE TOTAL — before intangibles
$3,075 per month
That's $36,900 a year walking out the door of a small trade shop running on sticky notes and good intentions. And we haven't even started counting the intangibles.

Daily Burn Base
// THE FOUNDATION × CRM, COMMUNICATION, LEAD CAPTURE
Controlled Burn was founded and is run by a General Contractor with 30 years in the field. He ran his business the same way most trades do — sticky notes, missed calls, sleepless nights, frustrated customers waiting on quotes that came in late or never came at all.
Daily Burn isn't software dreamed up by a developer who's never held a tape measure. It's the system he wishes he'd had for three decades — every workflow built to plug a leak he watched real shops bleed out of, including his own.
"I built this for the contractor I was 20 years ago — running on adrenaline and good intentions, leaving real money on the table every week."
