Common issues hurting growth in home services.
Most shops have a few of these going on at once. The work is figuring out which one matters most.
Lead flow that rides on one thing
Referrals carry you until they don't. Paid leads work until the price goes up again. And if I asked you today which market, which service, or which channel deserves the next dollar, could you tell me?
The lead sat there
A call comes in while your CSR is on another one. The form from last night is still in somebody's inbox. Twenty minutes later it doesn't matter who's better or cheaper, because the homeowner called three other companies and one of them picked up.
Estimates that go quiet
You paid for the lead. You paid a tech to drive out there and put a number in front of a homeowner. Then what? Most shops follow up once, maybe twice, and only when somebody remembers.
Everything still runs through you
The pricing exception, the callback, the approval, the unhappy customer, the report nobody else can pull. You're the backstop for all of it. You can't be the backstop and grow at the same time.
You can't see what's working
You know leads came in. You know what the bank account says. But can you walk marketing spend to booked calls to estimates to sold jobs to what you actually kept? When you cannot, every call about where the money goes is a guess.
Systems that don't talk
The CRM, the field software, the phones, the forms, the calendar, the books. Each one holds a piece of the job, and your people stitch it together by copying, remembering, and catching what got missed.
Talk it through with me.
Bring the problem, even if it's still fuzzy. We'll talk about what's going on, what might be behind it, and whether I'm the right person to help. If I'm not, I'll tell you.
