Inbound Marketing Methodology For Trade Contractors, Turning Your Challenges Into Opportunities

Posted by Norhalma Verzosa on Tue, Mar 26, 2019

Inbound marketing is about creating valuable experiences that have a positive impact on people and your business. How do you do that? You attract prospects and customers to your website and blog through relevant and helpful content. Once they arrive, you engage with them using conversational tools like email and chat and by promising continued value. And finally, you delight them by continuing to act as an empathetic advisor and expert. - HubSpot

Now that the internet has become an integral part of our daily lives, modern consumers no longer depend on television, radio, and print advertisements. We look and go through a plethora of information first, accessed through popular search engines (Google, Bing, etc.), before deciding to make a purchase or hire a local service.

Technology advancement allowed companies to promote and connect with a larger number of potential consumers compared to the traditional, physical presence of a brick-and-mortar store. As a Trade Contractor, you are no longer confined to your own neighborhood and push services directly to them, your online presence enables you to reach out and pull qualified leads towards your company. But what should you do when you don’t have a marketing manager that handles this side of your business? I say work with what you already have and go from there.

Unique Proven Marketing Tips For Your Contracting Company

Posted by Sharie DeHart on Fri, Jun 02, 2017


For Most Construction Contractors Your World Is “Hurry Up” And “Wait.”

  • Hurry up and answer the Call from the Customer.  
  • Wait to make the appointment.  
  • Hurry up and get to the job.  
  • Wait for the Customer to come home, to be available.  
  • Hurry up and create the proposal.  
  • Wait for a decision.  
  • In some cases, the Customer says “Yes” and then it is Wait for the Job Deposit.
  • Wait to Start The Job
  • Contractors doing Insurance Work are expecting to wait for Approval from the Insurance Company
  • Wait for the 1st Installment from Insurance Company
  • Wait for Inspection By Insurance Company
  • Wait to collect Homeowner’s Deductible
  • Wait for Final Payment By Insurance Company

All of this Hurry Up and Wait for activity makes it hard for The Contractor to schedule other jobs.
Many contractors are only holding a place open for the customer once a job deposit has been received.
