When do you know when to start hiring?
Here at GB Plumbing, we knew we should be starting to hire when we were working over 70 hours a week and not seeing any slow down with jobs coming in. We’re now up to 3 trucks, and are looking to hire again as things continue to keep growing and we want to continue to provide more services to our community.
Marketing companies that ruin your business
So we’ve been in business 3 1/2 years now and have been relatively busy we have our showtimes but for the most part for the small company we have we can pull in about 100,000 a month that is before we transfer marketing company which was highly rated and Seemed fun. It was costly though and after several months 5 to 6 months of draining my bank account there was nothing to show for it. There was no work for us. Our business got lost somewhere and website Wonderland unfortunately when I called and asked them and requested help I was ignored and given a rude statement, they drawn my yelp , they took my calls calls. I have no schedule for the last one. This has happened to anybody else. What do you do to pick up again? How do you start all over?
Direct Call Leads
We only pay per qualified conversation with homeowners. After a few years of hunting down bad contacts, getting ghosted and wasting money on ads and ad managers we internally built out a system that only costs money when a homeowner directly calls us looking for our services. It’s been a gamechanger and we even started selling these calls to other roofers and other industries/home service companies because there’s no real risk. Either you talk to a homeowner who wants you to come out, or you don’t pay. They can be kind of expensive but our ROI is at about 3.4x for a while now using it so I’m never going back to our old methods…unless someone has a lower risk option that doesn’t consume a ton of time.
