Hey everyone Victor here. Just joined the community, and I’m looking forward to connecting with contractors and learning more about the industry. I’m mainly interested in the systems behind growth — lead generation, follow-up, CRM, automation, and making sure good leads don’t get lost after they come in. I’ve noticed a lot of businesses can generate leads, but the real challenge is often what happens after someone calls, fills out a form, or asks for a quote. Curious to hear from the contractors here: What’s currently the biggest headache in your business: getting leads, following up, booking jobs, or managing everything once the leads start coming in? Looking forward to learning from everyone here 🤝

Been building an AI receptionist for a US tree service company the last few months. One thing keeps surprising me: how much revenue never gets picked up. This company was missing about 50% of their calls. Not because anyone was slacking, but because the crew is in the field. Guys are on trucks, on-site, hands full. Homeowner calls at 2 PM, no answer, moves to the next name on the list at 2:02. Set up the AI to catch every call, qualify (scope, location, timing), and drop the job straight into their CRM. They're booking about 50% more jobs a month now. Roughly $20k+ per month in recovered revenue. Same crew, same ad spend. Curious for the roofers, HVAC folks, and tree service guys here: how much of your inbound do you think gets missed when your crews are out working? Would love to hear if 50% is normal or if we caught an outlier.
