Putting in the work, but no clients yet. What would you do in my shoes?
I recently started my pool service business here in Miami. I’ve been working hard to get it off the ground, created a clean competitive website, post regularly on social media, and even hand out handwritten cards door to door. But despite all that, I’m still struggling to find clients. I know the pool industry is highly competitive here. For those of you with more experience, what helped you get customers early on? Thanks in advance 🙏 Also, if you're in Miami and ever want to connect in person, I’d be happy to meet up and exchange insights.

What would you add? Here are 10 things you can do when business gets slow to help drive more business: Call past clients. Cheapest client to acquire but most overlooked. Send out monthly newsletters that have nothing to do with sales. Just connect. Relationships are the goal. Send out handwritten cards to past clients with a $5 Gift Card for coffee. Create raving fans who market your business for you! Hit the street. Get door hangers and go door to door. Get your team to join you! Double down on networking relationships. Schedule a meeting every day with a different referral partner. Don’t cut back on marketing. Cut down on other areas but never marketing. Double down on marketing when others are pulling back. Negotiate costs with vendors instead. See how partnerships could lower costs or help cover costs…for example providing co-branded marketing material. Be disciplined and active on social media and community pages. Low hanging fruit. Serve. Givers gain. Give your time, your expertise, and resources and it will come back to you. Communicate with your team. Let them know what they can do to help. Don’t suffer in silence…before it’s too late. Start a service contract that keeps you top of mind with your clients all year and generates reoccurring revenue. LEARN. IMPLEMENT. TAKE MASSIVE ACTION! 😎🤙🏼Your Best Marketing Ideas!
What has been your most successful marketing tool in 2024? Is there anything new you are trying going in to 2025 and beyond? Mine has been word of mouth and literally making neighboring sites envious of how we take care of our clients. What has worked for you? What are you looking to try next? 😎Integration with SendJim
Hey everyone, I am wanting to automate our process for sending out a "Thank You Card" after specific milestones in our customer journey. For example, after doing an estimate, after the job is completed, and then start a sequence of Holiday post cards. Is "SendJim" the best way to do this, or is there another software that you use to do this?
