May I set up a specific time to reach out to you? • If they have already selected another vendor) •  What motivated you to make your decision? • Quality: Did you have concerns about the reputation of our company or quality of our work? • Timing: Were we not able to get to your project quick enough? • Warranty: Did the contractor you chose offer you a better warranty than we did? • Product: Did the contractor you chose have a product that was more appealing to you? • If so, what was it?
