I started my gutter business March of this year I been having a job every week sometimes two, not so bad of a start but since May it’s been hard I’ve only had 1 install and we are in the last week of May. I pass out flyers door to door ( not bothering homeowners though) and I go to networking events to meet contractors but yet I haven’t gotten any luck. Anyone got any advice for me?
Networking events are gold!
Local facebook groups!
The key is to highlight what would happen to their homes if they don't get their gutters serviced.
When thinking in the shoes of a homeowner, "What's in it for me? And what would happen if I dont?"
I respect you for getting out there and doing the work. Most people never even start, so you're already ahead. But here's the truth: Flyers and networking alone won't cut it in today's market. Homeowners aren't picking up flyers anymore. They're grabbing their phones and searching "gutter installation near me." If you're not showing up there, you're invisible.
A few things I'd advise you to focus on right now:
The slow patch you're in is exactly where most people quit. Push through it, and you'll be standing while everyone else folds.
You've got the right mindset. Now just get yourself in front of the right people online.
Just in case you need any further help implementing some of these things, I’m available to help out. My DM is always open!
