In Episode 1 of The Bid Sheet for General Contractors, we break down why platforms like Yelp (and even Meta ads) can trap GCs in a “handyman economy” — small-ticket jobs, price shoppers, constant upsells, and lead quality that doesn’t justify the spend. We talk about the real math behind visibility vs profit, why being “known” doesn’t always mean you’re getting paid, and how buyers actually behave when the project is serious. Then we pivot to the play for 2026: building a B2B lane through commercial, property, and public work so your pipeline isn’t dependent on residential mood swings, interest rates, and consumer spending. If you’re a GC who wants more stability, bigger opportunities, and a cleaner bidding process, this episode is your wake-up call.
