Key Takeaways

✦

Leverage local Facebook and mom groups by being authentic and engaging in non-business related conversations to build trust and visibility for your services.

✦

Implement a client referral program offering free services to both the referrer and the new client to encourage word-of-mouth marketing.

✦

Utilize 'before and after' posts of particularly challenging jobs on social media to showcase expertise and attract attention.

✦

Adopt an '811 rule' for social media: for every eight personal or engaging posts, include one business promotion and one hiring post to maintain audience interest.

✦

Consider incorporating seasonal themes into your social media content (e.g., holiday light checks for electricians) to tap into current customer needs and interests.

✦

Invest in an all-in-one business management software early on to streamline operations, save time, and avoid the hidden costs of managing multiple free apps.

✦

Utilize dedicated business phone numbers provided by software like Housecall Pro to compartmentalize work communications, protect personal time, and improve professionalism.
