// ABOUT// Episode 61: Your Sales Process Might Be Costing You Jobs

You can have a great website, solid reviews, and plenty of people reaching out, but what happens after that first call, form submission, or message?

In this episode of The Teresa G. Sivak Podcast, we’re talking about the part of business that gets overlooked way too often: your sales process.

If leads are sitting too long, follow-ups depend on you remembering, estimates go out with no next step, or potential customers quietly disappear, spending more money on marketing may just send more people into a process that’s already leaking opportunities.

I’m breaking down where contractors and home service businesses commonly lose jobs, what a real sales process should look like, and how simple systems, follow-ups, and automation can help you get more value from the opportunities you already have.

Before you spend another dollar trying to get more leads, take a look at what happens to the ones you already get.

I’m Teresa G. Sivak, Army veteran, military spouse, mom of two, Certified Brand Strategist, and founder of TGS Marketing.

I help contractors and home service businesses get found, get trusted, and get booked through better branding, websites, marketing, advertising, and business systems.

I also share what I’m learning and doing while running TGS Marketing, managing a remote team, working with real clients, testing marketing strategies, and building a business of my own.
