Hire a customer service representative
Hire a customer service rep (CSR) to handle all of your incoming sales calls. You are the worst person on the planet to be answering your plumbing business sales calls. When we hire a CSR, we can focus on the things that matter most about our business. A customer service representative’s only responsibility should be to book every lead for today. This will maximize profits and ensure that you are not literally pushing away money by scheduling leads in advance.
Schedule for today
As plumbing business owners we are literally turning down money. We’ve got to go into every sales call with a right now mentality; our customers expect us to be prompt and this will ensure that we are maximizing every lead.
Triage for dollars
We are going to take all of the calls, but we are also going to pick and choose what jobs we would like to do and in what order we want to complete them! We serve our communities, but this isn’t community service. We’ve got to start picking the job that is profitable and meaningful to our business.
