How to Catch Your Competition with Their Pants Down Episode 82
Quote: If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.
This week I wanted to talk about a few things that came to mind while I was driving down the road where I get some of my best thoughts. So this week I decided to record in the truck. The other day I happened to be thinking about the competition and how I could tweak my marketing a little to help get better results.
Then I thought about the follow up program the I have in place go back to the episode where I talk about increasing your business by 40% without hardly doing anything more. Well I got to thinking about a number of things but this one thought kept sticking with me. If you have a business where you have repeat business like mine lest say roof cleaning and pressure washing the pressure washing for residential can be done every year . Now let’s say that 98 percent of your competition has no follow up any campaign to remind that customer that they did business last year. Matter of fact I’d guess that that 98%of your competition only HOPES that their customer will call l for them to come out and service them.
So now let’s take you have a system that’s keeps in contact with your customer .WHY not keep in touch with his customer. Ok you didn’t get the job for whatever reason. I ‘m going to put that person on my follow up mailing campaign to send them a card basically saying, hey Mr. & Mrs. jones last year about this time you had your drive and sidewalks pressure cleaned .with all the e rain and moisture we’ve had over the last year it’s time to have it done again because if you wait too long you will also have to call your carpet cleaner because everyone is tracking in the mildew and algae growing on the walks.
Really your competition is not going think about future business form his past customers and more than likely the customer is not going to remember who they did business with last year .
Think about it what is it going to cost you may be 1.00 if you did 2 mailings 2 .00

Do You Go After Business to Get a Customer or Go After Customers to Get More Business Episode 81 contractor marketing mp3 New and upcoming ultimate profit hacking pod cast with Pete Mitchell Quote of the week There’s no shortage of remarkable ideas, what’s missing is the will to execute them. – Seth Godin
Do you a go after a customer to get business or do you get business to get a customer? I know some are reading and saying I just want some business because the statement must be a trick question it looks the same. Let’s really break both of these statements down and see where they really lead. Yes every business needs business to be profitable and to grow with the statement going after customers to get business you are looking at your business in the short term just dollars and cents in the here and now. A transactional entity, I guess that would be ok if you have no plans or goals for future growth. And you’re thinking of your business just as a way to make an income or just money.
However if you want grow your business for the long term have future goals for growth with a predictable profitable tractable future. Let’s really take a look at the statement getting a customer to get business. Its customers that give us business, it’s the customer that you build a relationship with .It’s your customer that if treated correctly will continue to do business with your company. It’s your customer that will refer you to their friends and family. Your customer has a lifetime value how long will they stay a customer how many referrals will they send your way and how will that grow. That only depend on how you’re think about your business. Take the time to track your customers their referrals know what your average transaction is and figure out the life time value of a customer. Why let’s look at it in just dollars and cents for a minute and hopefully you will see things different if you look into the future. Let’s say for argument sake that your initial service call or sale is 100.00 and that customer purchases from you 2 times a year and the average customer stays with you for only 5 years.
So that’s 100x2= 200 x 5 years that’s 1000.00 so in reality every time you get a new customer you’re not making 100.00in sales but 1000.00 that should change your thinking a little. Many of my customer s I’ve had for 25 years and recently I was looking at the lifetime value of one particular customer that had refereed me through the years and had done business with me numerous times their lifetime value to me was $53,750.00. Every customer is valuable to me on many levels. And each customer should be valuable to you also.
So as you look at your business and its growth look to the long term and think about why you are in business.

Bonus Interview Thomas Kurtz Contractor, contractor marketing Episode 80
This week I got an opportunity to talk with Thomas Kurtz a building contractor from North Carolina. He has one unique approach to developing his business an out of the box type of contractor marketing that he discusses rather in depth. While talking with him he mentioned his desire to help other contractors in his trade in the area he services come together and partner up with them in a sence and create a front end and a back end for their business. That would allow the contractor be more proficient in the area he is excellent at. It’s a rather unique approach to business. I found it interesting that he was thinking way ahead in the proceses of his business by creating 4 different basic kitchen plans ,four different bath plans so it would be easier for salesmen to sell and Keep things as simple for the estimators.. He has some great ideas if you are in Thomas s area contact him a learn how you might be able to join his team. Thomas Kurtz Contactus@Whole-9-yards.com
