If you don't have to worry about leads, congratulations! Having enough calls is a big deal, whether it's through word of mouth, DIY marketing hacks, or you just hired a professional to help get you the exposure you need. Typically, the next problem home service companies need to solve is inefficiencies in tracking leads and jobs. Post-it notes and spreadsheets won't work forever. If you have enough money coming in, it's time to play the game like a real company. That means getting a CRM. That stands for customer relationship manager. And once you get it set up, it is so much easier to keep track of where you and your team needs to be, what needs followed up, and what's been completed. Not to mention they can simplify billing and integrates with financing options to help you win more business. That's why I recommend Housecall Pro.

How fast you type is very often correlated to how productive you are as a business admin. I used to type over a 100 words a minute when I was in high school and well into my 20s, so you can probably imagine how much I was getting done. Life happens, so I'm older and slower now, but I still need to type a ton. One of the recommendations that was given to me when I started this community was to use Aqua Voice. This voice transcription software makes it so you can just press a key on your keyboard on Windows or PC, and it will automatically transcribe what you're saying into text. I actually used it to write this entire post. So if you find yourself in a similar situation where it's faster to speak than it is to type, I highly recommend that you check it out. You can get unlimited usage for only $8/mo. I saved 3 hours of typing by using it over the last month, so I've already saved enough time to justify the cost 20 times over. Get Aqua Voice Here for a $10 credit.

So I just had a client ask, "how do I log into my Google Business Profile to respond to my reviews?" And it's actually really simple. You just go here, then click read reviews and you should be able to reply very easily from there. Bookmark me: https://www.google.com/search?q=my+business
