How to Get More Work as a General Contractor?
June 27, 2018
Finding work as a general contractor remains a challenge. Although you are offering a valuable skill to the industry, it can seem like everyone is doing the same thing and there is no way to find more, quality work.
You see, when you enter the workforce, you are trained in your work. However, you do not receive the marketing-related education. Keeping your pipeline full is all about marketing your services. Many times, we see, that general contractors focus on contacting agencies. They tend to network with other contractors, and they forget to get in touch with their clients.
If you are a GC, looking to improve your business, we have a few tips for you.
Network with the Right People
Your clients are not other general contractors. Your clients are real estate investors, construction agencies, and home-builders. And to get in touch with those people, you need to find a network of property redevelopers, real estate agents, title companies, and home-insurance agents.
For example, real estate investors are interested in building new homes. Working with one right person can result in various successful projects. While people need your service once or twice a year, an investor client can keep you busy full-time.
Ask for Referrals
Successful businesses rely on word-of-mouth marketing. When do you a great job for one client, do ask for a referral. You can create an automatic online system that collects business reviews and references for you.
Invest in Right Systems
Marketing is essential, but today digital marketing is even more important. Social media and Search Engine Optimization are the pillars of internet advertising systems, and you should base your business on these pillars.
Create a website and showcase exactly what you do. Sub-contractors should also have a professional website created for business purposes.
It is also critical to set up a lead generation system online. More on that later.
Open Communication is the Key
You never know when a client sends you a tweet regarding a $50,000 job. Make it easier for clients to reach you. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Skype, Email, WhatsApp, and Phone are a few modes. We understand that you cannot answer questions 24/7. However, it is possible set up a weekly time to respond to online queries.
Once your business grows, you can hire a Virtual Assistant to tackle this job.
