In this episode of Contractor Cuts, we tackle a crucial aspect of contractor-client relationships: communication. Miscommunications can easily derail a project, causing frustration and disappointment for both parties. But with proper communication, you can avoid these issues and build trust with your clients.

We often rely on phone calls and text messages as our primary forms of communication, but emails provide a more effective way to document discussions and avoid misunderstandings. We recommend communicating with your clients at least twice a week and following up any phone calls with an email summary. This level of communication will set you apart from other contractors and help you build a positive reputation.

Join us on Contractor Cuts to learn how we train our Project Managers and Alliance Partners to communicate effectively with their clients. From first intake to final invoice, we'll show you how to build trust and keep your clients happy with proactive communication. Don't miss this important episode!
