Episode Summary

As soon as I get a lead I follow up with an email that includes my credentials and I provide links to reviews I’ve received from previous jobs. The construction industry is competitive so you have to find a way to stand out. 

When it comes to building a team we have found success through strategic partnerships. I benefit from others who have been in the industry a long time and they get a steady stream of new jobs. 

I try to post on social media at least once a day. I like to post about projects that we are working on, a recent review we received from a client, or educational information about different aspects of the services I provide. 

When business is slow I jump into my Thryv and look for leads I haven’t talked to in a while and start reaching out to them. The way I look at it is I’ve already paid for the marketing that drove that lead so I want to go back and follow up with anyone that still might need our services.
