Build an online reputation that people trust<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first place anyone is going to look for a company to hire is the internet. This fact is true now more than ever. Nearly every single call you get to your business will have found your information and phone number online. You can believe they\u2019ve looked at online reviews and other sources before picking up the phone or emailing you. Phone books, newspaper directories, and some other forms of marketing and advertising are now a thing of the past.<\/p>\n<p>You must invest in building a brand and reputation people can trust, and you must do it online. If customers can\u2019t find you, you\u2019ll never get that lead. That means you\u2019ll never get the sale. Even if they do find you, if they can\u2019t navigate an ancient website or discover social media profiles that haven\u2019t been updated in years, they\u2019ll likely move on to a different company. The way your business appears online matters to customers and can mean the difference between getting leads or not.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/micheleromanow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13086 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.renovationfind.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Michelle-1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Michelle R from Dragon&#8217;s Den<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">The best strategy for small businesses right now is to figure out how to build their online presence.\u00a0 The economy hasn&#8217;t stopped, it just shifted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Invest_in_digital_marketing_and_third-party_certifications\"><\/span><strong>Invest in digital marketing and third-party certifications<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you need assistance with boosting your online presence, we can give some advice. Building a user-friendly website, investing in search engine optimization, pay-per-click advertising, and using content marketing can help.<\/p>\n<p>Since homeowners are looking for contactors they can trust, they want to make sure the company they hire has been screened and checked. Studies show that most consumers will look at ten sources of information before they hire a home service company. They\u2019re looking for proof that the company can be trusted and that they do quality work. That is why third-party certifications can make a difference when attracting customers and closing a sale. \u00a0If your company is RenovationFind Certified, make sure web users can see that easily. Post the certification logo, and any other third-party certifications you might have, on your website and all your marketing materials.<\/p>\n<p>For more tips on boosting your online presence, read <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.renovationfind.com\/top-5-ways-to-grow-your-home-improvement-business-online\/\">5 ways to grow your home improvement business online<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.renovationfind.com\/company-submission-form?6%20tips%20to%20close%20more%20sales%20for%20home%20service%20businesses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1315 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.renovationfind.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Large-1-orange-3-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"RenovationFind Certified\" width=\"199\" height=\"62\" \/><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: right;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Third-Party_Certifications_Accreditations\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Third-Party Certifications &amp; Accreditations<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Over 71% of consumers look for a third-party seal of approval.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: right;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_A_Free_Demo\"><\/span><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.renovationfind.com\/company-submission-form?6%20tips%20to%20close%20more%20sales%20for%20home%20service%20businesses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get A Free Demo<\/a><\/strong><\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Reply_to_leads_and_estimate_inquiries_AS_SOON_AS_POSSIBLE\"><\/span><strong>2. Reply to leads and estimate inquiries AS SOON AS POSSIBLE<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We hear from hundreds of homeowners regarding their experience trying to find a contractor to work on their home projects. Their number one complaint is that they\u2019ve contacted a company about a project, and that company has not returned their call. They had a chance to quote a customer on a job, and they just never did. Those warm leads that would have likely turned into a sale are lost.<\/p>\n<p>Being in the renovation industry, we understand that you\u2019re busy. Maybe you think you won\u2019t win the job because you can\u2019t complete the estimate for another week or two. Most homeowners are more than willing to wait for the estimate. They\u2019re even willing to wait longer to get the job completed if it means working with a quality, trustworthy contractor. By not returning their call, you\u2019re harming your reputation.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Call_them_back_with_a_timeline_even_if_theyll_have_to_wait\"><\/span><strong>Call them back with a timeline, even if they&#8217;ll have to wait<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It would be best if you gave them a reply as soon as possible. Tell the customer you would like to help, but be honest about your availability. If you let them know what your timeline is and have good communication from the start instead of putting them off, you\u2019ll have a good chance of getting the job. If you brush them off, you have zero chance of getting the job. Worse, they\u2019ll likely tell their friends and family that you ghosted them and might even post a negative review online.<\/p>\n<p>From our experience at RenovationFind, companies that return calls to customers and get estimates out fast win jobs. You can email the customer, but always follow up with a phone call. Sometimes emails can get lost, or go to a junk mail folder. Plus, a phone call is an excellent personal touch that can help you build that personal relationship with your new customer.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_If_you_promised_your_customer_a_timeline_stick_to_it\"><\/span><strong>3. If you promised your customer a timeline, stick to it<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you tell your customer they\u2019ll have an estimate or a call back on Friday, then you better make sure they get that estimate or call back on Friday. Not sticking to the times and dates you\u2019ve promised a customer is an easy way to lose a job. You are already not delivering something you promised them \u2013 so why should they trust you to provide a quality service or product when it comes to their home project?<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consider_Customer_Relationship_Management_software\"><\/span><strong>Consider Customer Relationship Management software<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If there is a delay, and delays happen, let your customer know beforehand and not after-the-fact. If you need help managing your calls and leads, consider a Customer Relationship Management System (CRM). A CRM offers tools that can help you organize leads, conversions, callbacks, and other customer service activities. Utilizing a CRM will help make sure no lead gets lost, and that you can keep your promises to customers regarding callbacks, estimates, and installation dates. RenovationFind has had good feedback on CRM software like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hubspot.com\/?renofind\">Hubspot<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pipedrive.com\/taf\/renovationfind625282\">Pipedrive<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Send_detailed_and_professional_estimates\"><\/span><strong>4. Send detailed and professional estimates<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We are operating our businesses in a time where competition is high, and customers are nervous about hiring contractors and spending money. If you\u2019ve won the opportunity to provide an estimate to a customer, do not slack off on this critical step to closing a sale. What you offer them in an estimate can either win the job or send them looking elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Customers want to see detail on a professionally formatted document. Verbal or hand-written estimates will not do. You need to include information on the job itself, and break down the cost as much as you can. That means including details on the costs of labour, materials, permits, sub-contractor fees, and other potential charges. You should also break down the job into phases and give each stage a completion time.<\/p>\n<p>Customers are not interested in \u2018ballpark\u2019 quotes. They want to see those cost breakdowns, and they want an accurate estimate that they can fit into their budget. Providing them with this will also show transparency and start building a relationship of trust with that customer.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t put much effort into the way you\u2019re putting together estimates, you should take a look at it as it is now. Then imagine it sitting next to a detailed, formatted, professional-looking estimate a competitor might provide. Which one do you think the customer will choose?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Todays_Consumers_are_Digital\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Today&#8217;s Consumers are Digital.<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-11766 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.renovationfind.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Customer-Journey-1-300x269.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"219\" height=\"197\" \/><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Did you know Google released a stat indicating users check out 10.4 sources before purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.renovationfind.com\/company-submission-form?6%20tips%20to%20close%20more%20sales%20for%20home%20service%20businesses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1315 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.renovationfind.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Large-1-orange-3-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"RenovationFind Certified\" width=\"159\" height=\"50\" \/><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.renovationfind.com\/company-submission-form?6%20tips%20to%20close%20more%20sales%20for%20home%20service%20businesses\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10467 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.renovationfind.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Demo-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"306\" height=\"68\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Follow_up_with_customer_on_estimates_promptly_as_promised\"><\/span><strong>5.

It seems like a no brainer, but you\u2019d be surprised how many companies don\u2019t bother following up with customers after providing them with an estimate. If you think following up feels pushy, there are ways of following up that are not too forward.<\/p>\n<p><em>Hello there, this is Company XYZ. We sent you an estimate last week for your bathroom renovation project, and I was wondering if you had any questions regarding the estimate?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This way, you can find out if there were any concerns or objections you need to overcome to get the job. Sometimes the customer might feel too shy to object to something in the estimate. They could have been on vacation or responding to a family emergency. Life gets in the away; sometimes, people forget or get busy. If they haven\u2019t gotten back to you, it doesn\u2019t mean the sale is lost. You will never know if you don\u2019t follow up.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, CRM software can help you keep on top of your follow up calls.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Offer_financing_for_your_customers\"><\/span><strong>6. Offer financing for your customers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Times are tough for a lot of people, now more than ever. Whether their home project is a want or a need, many homeowners will go through with it if they don\u2019t have to pay for the entire cost at once. It lessens the financial burden and allows them to go through with a purchase they are ready to make in all other aspects. It also means you don\u2019t have to lower your pricing to accommodate. Offering customer financing can help you close sales more often, and make more significant sales while increasing customer loyalty.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not sure how to offer financing options for customers, some third-party financing programs can help.
