Key Takeaways

✦

Respond to leads within 60 seconds of them coming in; this significantly increases the likelihood of securing the business.

✦

Implement a structured 10-day follow-up process for all quotes, combining calls, texts, and emails to maximize contact and prevent leads from going cold.

✦

Always send quotes via both text and email, and call the customer immediately after sending to review it together and answer questions.

✦

Require an upfront deposit (e.g., 50%) to improve cash flow, reduce financial risk, and ensure customer commitment.

✦

Understand and track your Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) and Lifetime Value (LTV) of a customer; improving close rates directly lowers CAC and allows for more aggressive marketing spend.

✦

Create social media content using a 'hook' to grab attention, present a problem and solution, include an offer or case study, and a clear call to action.

✦

Actively seek feedback and engagement during initial calls or quote reviews by asking 'How did you hear about us?' to leverage social proof and brand awareness.
