How to get more customers as a contractor

The short answer

More customers is three things: be found, be trusted, be fast on the phone. Then go win back the customers you already have. It is not magic. It is blocking and tackling.

Be found and be trusted

Rank in local and AI search, and back it with a wall of recent reviews so the buyer picks you over the next bid on the counter. Visibility gets you seen. Reviews get you chosen.

Answer and follow up fast

Speed wins. The first to respond usually gets the job. A call that rings out is a customer you paid to send to your competitor.

Mine the gold you already have

Your past customers and dead quotes are the cheapest customers on earth. Reactivate them on a rhythm. The gold is in your own backyard.
