Most contractors think they need more leads to grow their business. But what if the next job is already sitting in your database?
Nathan Klug joins Chris Yano, Chad Peterman, and Aaron Gaynor on the To The Point Home Services VIP Room to break down the follow-up mistakes costing contractors jobs and how to generate more revenue from the contacts they already have.
Nathan shares how contractors can reactivate old estimates, clean up customer data, build referral networks, and use part-time sales reps to generate more opportunities without immediately increasing their advertising spend. He also explains why having the right systems in place matters before investing more money into lead generation.
In this episode, you'll learn how to turn old contacts into new business, build a referral network that consistently generates opportunities, and create a follow-up process that helps your business stop leaving money on the table.
