PROBLEM · LEADS NOT CLOSING

Plenty of leads. Not enough signed jobs.

The phone isn’t dead. The leads just aren’t turning into contracts, and nobody can say where they’re dropping.

Contractor owners seeing these signs in their pipeline
Where it comes from
  • Attention: Ads speak to anyone with a house, so they pull in browsers and price shoppers along with real buyers.
  • Offer: Clicks land on a homepage or a bare contact form. Nothing tells the homeowner what the job costs or what happens next.
  • Sales: One call attempt, then the lead goes cold in someone’s phone. Nobody follows up after the estimate either.
  • System: Leads, estimates, and contracts live in different places, so nobody can see where the drop-off actually happens.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

The signs you’re losing jobs here.

  • Lots of names in the inbox. Very few contracts at the end of the month.
  • Half the people we call say they were “just looking.”
  • We run estimates for people who were never going to spend that kind of money.
  • I can’t tell you which ad or source produced our last five jobs.
  • Leads that don’t book on the first call just disappear.
THE DIAGNOSIS

Four places it breaks. Four fixes.

Attention × Offer × Sales × System. The problem usually lives in one part and shows up in another.

01Attention
The cause

Ads speak to anyone with a house, so they pull in browsers and price shoppers along with real buyers.

The fix

Video filmed on your actual jobs, aimed at the project you want and the area you work, so the people who respond already want that work.

Video Ads
02Offer
The cause

Clicks land on a homepage or a bare contact form. Nothing tells the homeowner what the job costs or what happens next.

The fix

A project page for that one job, with a price range, your real work, and a few qualifying questions before anyone books.

Project Pages
03Sales
The cause

One call attempt, then the lead goes cold in someone’s phone. Nobody follows up after the estimate either.

The fix

Instant follow-up when the inquiry lands, reminders before the visit, and a sequence after it for homeowners who haven’t signed.

CRM and Automation
04System
The cause

Leads, estimates, and contracts live in different places, so nobody can see where the drop-off actually happens.

The fix

Tracking from the ad to the signed job, so every source is judged on contracts, not form fills.

Conversion Tracking
WHAT WE’D FIX FIRST

Find the step where leads stop moving

We take your last few months of leads and follow them forward: how many got a response, booked, showed up, and signed. The biggest drop is where we start. Usually that’s qualification or follow-up, not the ad budget. More leads poured into a leaking process just leak faster.

PUT A NUMBER ON IT

Estimate-to-sale funnel: follow your leads all the way to signed jobs.

Leads drop out at every step: some never book, some don’t show, some don’t sign. See where yours go and what reaches the bank.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Questions we hear.

Is it my sales process or my leads?

Usually some of both, and the numbers tell you which. If you close well once you’re sitting with a homeowner but few leads get that far, the problem is upstream. If plenty of estimates happen and few sign, look at pricing, presentation, and follow-up after the visit.

Do you close the jobs for us?

No. We build and run everything up to the booked estimate, plus the follow-up around it. You run the estimate and close the job.

Will more ad spend fix it?

Not by itself. If most leads stall at the same step, more spend sends more people into the same stall. Fix the step first, then add volume.

How do we find out where leads are dropping?

If your leads and outcomes are written down somewhere, we can usually spot the biggest drop on the strategy call. If they’re scattered across texts and voicemails, tracking goes in first so next month gives you real numbers.
