Questions contractors ask

Should contractors mention the proof source?

Only if it is natural and compliant. The goal is helpful context, not making the prospect feel watched.

How many follow-ups should happen?

Enough to be useful without being annoying. Track replies, opt-outs, and booked appointments.
