Northstar Remodel doubled close rate at the kitchen table

By pairing Improvifi's payment calculator with the design consult, Northstar turned a 30% close rate into a 70% one — without dropping price.

The Opportunity

WHERE THE DEAL WAS LEAKING

Customers loved the design, balked at the lump-sum price, and went home to think about it. Most never came back.

  • Average consult-to-close rate stuck at 30%
  • Discounting was the only tool to save deals
  • No way to show monthly payment alongside finishes

What We Did

ROLLED OUT IN UNDER A WEEK

We built Improvifi's payment calculator directly into the design tablet. As the homeowner picks finishes, the monthly number updates live — turning sticker shock into a confident yes.

  • Live monthly payment by finish selection
  • Soft-pull pre-qual integrated with the design tool
  • Single signature flow at the table

The Outcome

NUMBERS THAT MOVED THE MARGIN

Close rate jumped from 30% to 70% in two quarters with the same lead volume. Discounting dropped to zero — Northstar holds the line on price because the monthly does the convincing.

  • Close rate moved from 30% to 70%
  • Average project size held at $48k with no discounting
  • Sales-cycle time dropped from 18 days to 6
