January 12, 2025 The Power Of Video Marketing / Vetting your Customers !
Many self employed tradespeople are still getting no response after providing a quote to customers. Many driving to customers homes quoting jobs on the weekends and evenings and having no response and not winning the jobs..
This burns into our free time and can causes stress..
Having quotes rejected can be extremely frustrating for the tradesmen and can cause us to 'low ball' our prices in an effort to win more work.
In this episode I unpack a powerful way to screen your customers to prevent this problem from occurring. Video marketing is something each and every self employed tradesperson should be leveraging but many of us are still on the fence and are missing out.
