i finished 2 quotes, followed up on one, and will be making a facebook post.
Are You Easy to Do Business With?
Most service businesses don’t struggle because their service is unclear. They struggle because the path from interest → paid job is messy. Quick self-check: • How does a new customer contact you? • What happens immediately after they reach out? • Do you control that process—or does it happen randomly? If a lead has to: – wait too long for a response – explain themselves twice – guess what happens next You’re leaking opportunities without realizing it. What’s one small change you could make this week to make it easier for someone to hire you?

For my buisness our biggest issue is getting quotes done in a timely manner for people. We ussaly work sun up to sun down, or at least don’t get back in town until sun down or close to, and don’t have the time/daylight to go qoute jobs. i find all too often people are waiting weeks when it shouldn’t even be days. every couple weeks we have to work saturdays and sundays (mainly out doing quotes or finishing small jobs) to try and get/stay caught up. (and i get working weekends occasionally is just part of it, but i’d like to grow out of it and use that time for my family/personal.) my brother and i are trying to fill all roles in one (quoting/sales, managing/setting up projects, getting material around, performing the labor/work, etc.) and it stacks up quick. i agree with jordan in the matter of us needing to also find strictly a sales person.

The blue collar community has a lot of folks who don't have a website. Some may think its 2026 who doesn't have a website? The harsh reality is that the number is larger than it should be. In an online ecosystem that comes with many ways to be found for your services, the almighty website is still the cornerstone of online presence for service providers of all kinds. A good website marks the following -validation and legitimacy -doorway to organic traffic -continuity between you and search engines -direct access for leads -education opportunity for site visitors -portfolio My experience: I have been blessed to work with amazing commercial clients almost all of whom came to me in the form of organic traffic from google search results and website traffic. -Costco -Menards -Ihop -Burger King -Winter Services (nation wide vendor) which led to them assigning us Meijer grocery stores -and new ones each year All of which have changed my business in different ways. My questions for you! -Do you have a website that your proud of? -What's the most groundbreaking connection your website has made for you? Feel free to ask me any questions you have about websites here on this thread. If you enjoyed this read give the post a like so I can gauge what everyone likes.

we do not have a website. i look every few months for someone to build one, and i either can’t find someone, they shuffle their feet on getting it done, or they want serval thousand dollars to do so.
