@JacobR_RE 60% but if you don’t have a great sales process and low overhead you can still make a ton of net at 50%.

@denk_tweets In construction usually just the threat of placing a lien on their property makes clients quickly change their tune and pay up. I’ve never once had to follow through with it in 8 years.

@jamesonhaslam We do a $2400 minimum. This seems super hard to manage.

I don’t think it’s the same as a roof repair or a sewer cleaning where this works.

“Cosmetics” I don’t think have the same buying cycle/funnel

[Skylar @skylarstew]

@jamesonhaslam We always bid the same price if they already have the materials, but in my industry it only makes up about 10% of our quote.

@tannerdripjobs Fly is memorable

@AlexLathery Congrats paint scout is a great platform, will make it easy to scale sales later.

[Skylar @skylarstew]

@AlexLathery Good luck on LSA, we have trouble spending more than a thousand any month.

@STLChrisH I operate a painting company. It’s 100% the perception of the job. Most clients really can’t even tell the difference between a 90% and 100% paint job.

@AlexLathery Do out of market 5 star reviews, have a chance of hurting a GMB?

[Skylar @skylarstew]

@AlexLathery We’ve seen a ton of success with signs lately, we are putting up 40-50 signs a week.

Lowest cost lead right now.

@hoytcrouch I just spent 3K on hats. So 100% do it.

We will give them out to potential commercial clients, and also our crews will be looking the best on site.

[Skylar @skylarstew]

We definitely notice them more being in the home service space.

I am almost done with a rebrand and rewrap. I would definitely recommend spending some cash on one of the big names in the space for the design.

I spoke to make guys at the last Tommy mellow event who saw huge cost savings, after doing it.

Like 18k/mo on google to 1k/mo on google and same amount of leads.

Clients would search their name directly instead of “plumbers in Pittsburgh”

@Bcross065 Once I got out of the field 100%, my goals became so much easier, and I didn’t have to wake up so early anymore.

Let the guys fail if you have too

@danielcronauer But how much market share can this kid take? .01%?

[Skylar @skylarstew]

@WilsonCompanies 11x return last year, we get about a 5x return within 20 days then it slowly runs up to 11x over next 6 months.
