Contractor Questions And Answers: 200 Real Ways To Get Better Leads, Miss Less Calls, And Close More Jobs - Instant Sales Funnels https://t.co/5YwD7syTtQ #contractorquestions
Most contractors don't need more leads.
They need to stop losing the ones they already get.
I see it all the time.
A contractor spends money on ads, lead services, SEO. Phone rings. Leads come in.
Then:
→ Missed calls. No callback for hours.
→ Estimates sent. Never followed up.
→ Tire kickers eating up the whole week.
→ Pricing based on "what I've always charged."
→ No clue what the job actually cost after it's done.
The leads aren't the problem. The leaks are.
You can pour $2,000/month into lead gen. But if you're missing calls, ghosting your own estimates, and pricing jobs with your gut instead of math, you're just buying leads for your competition.
Here's the fix order:
1. Instant response for missed calls
2. Follow up sequence for every estimate
3. Lead qualifier before you drive out
4. Real pricing with real numbers
5. Job costing after every project
None of this is fancy. All of it works.
I put together a free Contractor Lead Recovery Kit with tools for all of it. Missed calls, follow up scripts, lead filters, pricing tools, job costing.

Fix the leaks before you buy more water.
Missed calls.
Ghosted quotes.
Tire kickers.
Bad pricing.
Slow follow-up.
That is where contractor money leaks out.
Not always from bad work.
Usually from bad systems.
I built a free Contractor Lead Recovery Kit to help plug the leaks.

Quick tip: Every change order that goes undocumented is free work you did for someone else. Price it. Write it. Get it signed. Your hourly rate doesn't care if the customer is nice. I dropped the calculator under this.
Run your numbers before you send the next quote. This calculator shows your markup, margin, overhead, and minimum walk-away price: https://t.co/oawPAI6XKL
You won the job. Worked hard. Finished on time. Then looked at the numbers and realized you barely broke even. Underpriced jobs feel like wins until the invoice clears. Know your real cost before you quote. Pricing calculator is in the first reply.
You drove out. Measured everything. Spent 2 hours on a quote. They ghosted you. That lead was never serious. Qualifying before you show up saves you time, gas, and frustration. Free tool link is in the first reply.
