Separating a Good Guy from a Great Guy
Have you ever wondered what separates a good contractor from a GREAT contractor? I mean, besides the obvious: skill, technique, and overall outcome of the project?
Think of the last time you (not as a contractor, but as a consumer) had a project to do. As an example, we'll say it was staining your deck. Well, you didn't know anyone personally who could complete the project. You went to the internet or the yellow pages. And, if you didn't know who you were looking for, what separated the guy you found from the rest?
In a short word, it was marketing.
You were impressed with the look of his website and liked the fact that you could browse through to see completed projects.
Being an independent contractor, you understand that there are hundreds of us out there. Whatever your specialty, there are plenty of us to choose from. Sometimes, we are intimidated by the huge scale marketing gimmicks of our competitors- flashy trucks, whole page newspaper ads. We just can't imagine we'll ever have that kind of cash.
Aside from the few personal job contacts we have, most of us rely on "outside" jobs to keep our business afloat. We look for "gimmicks” or "slogans", and put them on our lawn- or in the local pennysaver. Locally, you're covered.
