New contractor and feeling lost
New contractor and feeling lost. My husband recently started his own general contracting business, and we’re trying to figure out the best ways to actually get steady work and build momentum.
Speed beats polish on first touch
GC/remodel owners report that a plain auto-text within five minutes outperforms a perfect voicemail left three hours later. Homeowners are comparison-shopping — whoever confirms receipt first often gets the walkthrough.
One pipeline, every source
Website forms, Google LSA, Angi, Facebook leads, and referrals should land in one inbox. When everything scatters across email and texts, jobs die in the gap.
Follow-up is a system, not a memory
Day 0, 2, and 5 quote nudges recover margin that sticky notes never will. The GC/remodel shops winning on close rate treat follow-up like dispatch — scheduled, not hoped for.
What owners are saying
- Meeting with contractor and project lead tomorrow, disheartened with tile job
- Is this pricing unreasonable?
- Hired a Freelancer. It’s not going well.
- Listened to my gut, customer showed true colors
