Here are a few things I did to scale a home improvement company that was stuck at $1.5M to $4M in 10 months (no, not ads) <> we fixed how long it took to get quotes out. what would take hours we compressed into minutes <> took a hard look at the books. who were the best customers? where was the margin leaking? are we optimizing labor allocation based on gross margin goals? <> that gave us the confidence to reposition the company, build a new website that was seo focused, commit resources to weekly seo work, and trust the data <> combed through leads that been accumulated over the years and ran a sequenced email campaign <> fixed up the google business profile and began posting 3x a week. progress photos, helpful content, inspirational content <> a lead would reach out and maybe be contacted that day, maybe a few days later, now we make an immediate first touch within minutes of receiving an inquiry <> made professional proposals with project renderings and clear contracts. <> implemented employee career plans - if you stay and learn, you will earn, is our motto. we stick to it. <> created a project board the company works off of. now everyone knows eah project status <> launched cold email campaigns to our target market (single biggest revenue generator by far) hope this gives you some ideas for your business, and let me know what you've done. share with someone who needs to hear this.
