Typically we are chaotic and booked this time of year, but we’ve had to run multiple discount promos using Jobber’s email campaigns to offset! Last April, we closed the month with almost 100 leads and this year it looks like we’ll close out about 25% less. Is it the economy and the price of eggs? Something else? Our pricing is higher than most in our area based on our reputation!
Yeah, I’ve noticed a slight slowdown too compared to last year—nothing crazy, but definitely not as “automatic” as it used to be.
I don’t think it’s just one thing. Feels like a mix of:
What’s helped me:
Also noticed lighting installs and higher-ticket services are still moving if you position them right.
Curious—are you seeing more ghosting after quotes too or just fewer leads overall?
I've noticed it also, but I have noticed quite a few new companies popping up in my area. I have bidded quite a few jobs, won a couple of them and got ghosted on a few. Followed up on the ones I didn't get and some of the owner's said they went with someone cheaper and some said they were going to save their money due to gas prices rising and everything else going up because of the gas prices...a little tuff right now for everyone...
Yeah, I’m seeing the same slowdown.
I’m a one-man pressure washing crew and I’m definitely not as busy as I was last year this time. I’ve had to run a few discounts just to keep work coming in.
I don’t think it’s the price of eggs or anything going on with Iran. People are just being a lot tighter with their money right now. Even normal maintenance jobs that used to be easy are taking longer to book.
You seeing the drop more on houses or driveways?
