A lot of contractors are out here doing marketing — posting, running ads, sending emails — and still wondering why it's not working. The answer usually isn't the plan. It's that there was never a strategy behind it.
In this episode, Crystal and Emily break down the difference between a marketing strategy and a marketing plan, why one has to come before the other, and what it actually looks like to build your marketing on a real foundation. If you've ever felt like you're busy with marketing but not making progress, this one's for you.
In this episode:

Why most trades businesses have a plan but are missing a strategy
The real difference between the two — and why it matters more than you think
Signs your marketing is running on tactics instead of strategy
What a strategy actually looks like for a home service business
How to use your strategy to build a plan that finally makes sense

If you don't know your strategy, that's exactly where we start.
