Why Contractors Are Losing Leads in North Bay
Why Your Phone Should Sound Like a Cash Register (And How to Make It Happen)
Let’s be real, contractors.
Whether you’re swinging hammers, laying shingles, or running wires, there’s one universal truth: no one gets paid until a lead becomes a job.
But here’s the kicker…
95% of home service businesses don’t respond to leads within 5 minutes.
Five. Freakin’. Minutes.
That’s not just a stat—that’s money walking out the door wearing steel-toe boots.
🛠️ The Problem: You’re Working Hard, But Not Smart
We see it all the time. Phones ringing off the hook, emails piling up, and business owners saying,
“I just need more leads!”
But what if I told you the problem isn’t getting more leads…
It’s what happens AFTER the lead comes in.
If you’re not following up within minutes, someone else is. Probably with a slicker website and a robot that books appointments in its sleep.
🔧 The Fix: Let Tech Do the Heavy Lifting
Welcome to the 2025 version of contractor marketing—blue-collar grit meets high-tech wizardry.
Here’s what every savvy contractor should have in their toolbox:
-
A CRM with Muscle
It tracks leads, follows up automatically, and even remembers client birthdays. You don’t have time for sticky notes anymore. -
An Optimized Google Business Profile
This is your modern-day Yellow Pages listing—but turbocharged. If you’re not showing up in the top 3 on Google Maps, you might as well be invisible. -
Database Reactivation Campaigns
Got old leads sitting around? Let’s wake ’em up with an email or text that makes them say, “Oh yeah, I did need a deck built.”
🔥 The Payoff: More Jobs, Less Juggling
We’re not just talkin’ about fancy marketing speak here. We’re talkin’ about real systems that keep your calendar booked without breaking your back.
