The key here is relationships. Don't build a relationship based on future potential work, but on truly helping the people. Do this without expectations. You will be amazed at how it comes full circle. When you help people without conditions they will do the same thing for you. If you apply a...

I used to jump on many marketing alternatives and felt if I got $2 back for every dollar I spent in work I was doing well. I then started tracking my number properly and quickly realized I need as a minimum a 4 to 1 ratio not a 2 to 1. This has made it easier for me to yes or no a option like...

I used to jump on many marketing alternatives and felt if I got $2 back for every dollar I spent in work I was doing well. I then started tracking my number properly and quickly realized I need as a minimum a 4 to 1 ratio not a 2 to 1. This has made it easier for me to yes or no a option like this. When I talk to the rep and tell them for every $500 I spend per month, they have to guarantee me at least $2000 worth of work per month, or I want the service for free. At that point the rep usually backs out. I also won't sign a year long contract, I tell them if their product actually works they should be comfortable for me to be on a month to month basis.
Remember if they have no skin in the game it's easy for them to tell you how great it will be, but if they have a stake in it, the game changes.
Also it's on you to do some research, some forums work amazing for 1 industry but not others. Understand your needs and who it's reaching. It's also on you to use it to it's capacity. The site isn't going to do the work for you and they shouldn't because they don't know you like you know you.
Social media is an easy one if you're willing to put the time in. We've also had good success with Yelp.

I don't believe in offering seasonal specials. by offering the same fair pricing all year around we've all but eliminated the ups and downs of our industry and remain busy all year.
I don't understand why anyone would want to teach their would be customers to only use them at a certain time...

I don't understand why anyone would want to teach their would be customers to only use them at a certain time of year and I feel that's what seasonal sales do. Also I'm not a commodity so I don't compete on price, like most of my industry.
Yelp has been great for us, we spent quite a bit up front doing the ads in order to hit as many people as possible. Now that we have acquired enough solid reviews we're able to reduce our spend while still seeing the same amount of business.

Yelp has been great for us, we spent quite a bit up front doing the ads in order to hit as many people as possible. Now that we have acquired enough solid reviews we're able to reduce our spend while still seeing the same amount of business.
The other win for us has been FB, we post on a constant basis and have again got our reviews up where they need to be. now when we do a boost it always gets results, with a very little spend.
I'd suggest that well over 90% of our new clients got to our website before they call, that's a lot of lost business without one. There are so many cost effective ways to get a site up and running. even if it's not great it will help you from my perspective.

I don't believe in on time, I expect my team to arrive at their destination 15 minutes early. If they can't I require they call the customer and apologize for running late and to give an arrival time.

I don't believe in on time, I expect my team to arrive at their destination 15 minutes early. If they can't I require they call the customer and apologize for running late and to give an arrival time.
The number one thing to keep in mind is don't ask anyone to do what you don't. I'm always early or I call ahead, my team knows this and as such they happily follow my lead.
