When markets get tough, plumbing companies panic. Angie's List just lost 739,000 leads this year—while spending MORE money. In this episode, I break down the hard truth: cutting marketing in a downturn will destroy your business faster than anything else.
Here's what we cover:
• Why every competitor is fighting harder for the same leads
• The real places to optimize BEFORE you cut anything
• How to measure if your marketing is actually the problem (or if it's something else)
• The customer journey that separates winners from closures
• Why your pricing power depends on reputation—not discounts
The plumbers who thrive in downturns aren't cutting spend. They're optimizing their entire system:
→ Call tracking & CSR performance
→ Reviews & brand awareness campaigns
→ Customer experience from ad to estimate
→ Sales skills & closing rates
If you're feeling the pinch right now, listen to this before you make any cuts.
