It’s cheaper to keep the customers you have, than buy new ones.

3) Best Practice Systems: These include Sales Training DVDs, CDs, Sales Training Partners and Efficiency Consultant Partners, because lower overhead & higher average tickets = higher efficiency = higher profits at lower mark ups = higher customer retention = a stronger brand = larger market shares at higher profits = a sustainable business.

You make more profits working smarter than working harder.

4) New Customer Acquisition: This includes narrowly targeted personality based Direct Mail, Handwritten Radius Neighbor and New Mover Postcards, Job Signs, Goodie Bag Door Hangers and Professional TV and Radio Production & Placement.

The utilization of call tracking and recording, together with Google analytics, measure and maximizes return on investment. Also, make sure that all marketing expenses, including internet domination, is built into your pricing.

Having your customers pay for your growth is the SMART way to keep overhead under control and maximize profits.

 6) Brand Building: Logos, Slogans, Mission Statements communicated through Radio, TV, Message on Hold, and Musical Jingles.

Improving your brand value attracts better and more profitable customers.

 7) In Field Sales Tools: These include Invoices that help your staff Upsell Financing Tools and Point of Purchase Customer Brand Building Cards that keep negative online reports to a minimum.

Having the right sales tools in the field puts more cash in the bank.

 8) Contractors United for Good.org: This is part of reputation management that stops bad online comments before they happen. It employs both point of purchase cards and online tools. It is a great way to get a quality online SEO citation to build Ranking, but most importantly, it is also a way to focus your company on service excellence and community service through committing to the Contractors United Members’ Pledge:

 “To the best of my abilities, I will humbly endeavor to be

A FORCE FOR GOOD

in my company, my trade and in my community.”

This is partly accomplished through your establishing and committing to your customer bill of rights, as well as employee professional advancement and management standards. Unlike others, our Membership Standards are fair to consumers and contractors alike. They are low cost and contractor friendly. Only $15 per month.

When we see our work in the right context, we become part of something that brings greater meaning and sense of accomplishment to all we do.

9) The Service Angel Award Journal.org: This is an online third party endorsement that is affordable and fair. It is a place to show your letters of recommendations, audio recordings and videos from happy customers. It is a place to show your certifications and organization memberships, and yes, another quality online SEO citation to build your organic ranking, with optional local optimization, online blog press releases and YouTube video press releases to build your brand value. It is a place where you control the content and are not subject to arbitrary rules and comments from vengeful unreasonable people.

It is fair to Consumers and Contractors alike, as membership is limited to Contractors United Members in Good Standing. It is also low cost and contractor friendly at only $35 per month.
