@growthwithsimon I’ve actually started joining contractor Facebook groups and posting there, but I haven’t spent much time answering questions yet. That’s a good point.
Were there any specific types of groups that worked better for you?
I'm a solo founder, and I built https://t.co/3PkH2SUZxn — an app for contractors to manage estimates and client follow-ups.
Now comes the hard part: getting my first customers.
For those who've been there, what worked?
Cold emails? Paid ads? TikTok? Instagram? Something else?
Now comes the hard part: getting my first customers.
I'll be trying cold emails, Facebook groups, and Instagram outreach.
No customers yet, just a working product and a lot to learn.
I'll share what works, what fails, and the feedback I get.
Wish me luck! 🤞
I built SprigDeal on my own after reading contractors' posts and comments.
One problem kept coming up: estimates sent, then forgotten without a follow-up.
So I decided to build something simple.
🧵
The result is https://t.co/3PkH2SUZxn
A simple web app to manage estimates, keep track of customers, and follow up automatically.
The goal? Help contractors turn more quotes into actual jobs.
I officially launched it yesterday.
@mahan_sma I've been thinking about roofing and remodeling, mainly because losing a big estimate can hurt. But I'm still figuring out which trade needs this the most.
If you were in my position, which one would you start with?
