Key Takeaways

✦

Build a fence around your clients β€” retention and repeat business are cheaper and more profitable than constantly chasing new customers.

✦

Just because a customer paid you doesn't mean they'll refer you; you have to stay in touch and earn the referral deliberately.

✦

Stay top of mind with consistent communication (like electronic newsletters) so you're the one they call β€” and recommend β€” next time.

✦

Revenue isn't profit β€” plenty of contractors do big numbers and make no money; know your numbers or you're flying blind.

✦

Aim to get the customer back again and again, and shorten the time between visits β€” frequency compounds lifetime value.

✦

Deliver genuine five-star service across every channel (Yelp, Google) because your reputation is the fence that keeps clients in.

✦

Find what already works and copy it instead of reinventing; if you can't make money today, you'll never make it later.
