You have a leak problem. ### Slides **Slide 1 (Hook)** You don't have a leads problem. You have a leak problem. Here are the 5 holes draining your bucket. **Slide 2 (Leak 1)** HOLE 1: The missed call. The phone rang while you were on the roof. That caller already dialed the next guy. Gone. **Slide 3 (Leak 2)** HOLE 2: The slow reply. A lead texts at 7pm. You see it at 9. By then they booked someone who answered first. **Slide 4 (Leak 3)** HOLE 3: The dead quote. You sent the estimate. Nobody followed up. Three quotes a week quietly go cold. **Slide 5 (Leak 4)** HOLE 4: No reviews. You did great work and never asked. So the next customer can't find proof you exist. **Slide 6 (Leak 5)** HOLE 5: The cold database. Hundreds of past customers sitting in your phone. Forgotten. Worth more than any ad. **Slide 7 (The fix)** Buying more leads doesn't fix a single one of these. Plug the holes first. Then the same lead flow makes you more money. **Slide 8 (Mid CTA)** Want the full breakdown of where your business is leaking? Comment LEAK and I'll send it. Or grab a free Lead Loss Audit. Link in the comments. ### Caption Most contractors think the answer is more leads. It isn't. You're already paying for leads that walk straight out the back door. Five holes do the damage. The missed call while you're up a ladder. The text you saw three hours late. The quote nobody chased. The reviews you never asked for. The database of past customers gathering dust in your phone. None of that gets fixed by spending more on ads. You're just pouring water into a leaky bucket. Fix the bucket first. Plug the five holes. Then the exact same lead flow you have right now starts booking more jobs, because nothing slips through. That is the whole game. Recovery before more spend.

What happens the second a lead hits your phone? For most contractors: nothing fast enough. **Slide 2 (The gap)** Right now the lead lands and waits. On you. While you're driving, quoting, or on a ladder. Every minute it cools. **Slide 3 (The machine, step 1)** STEP 1: It gets answered. Call or text, day or night. A real conversation starts in seconds, not hours. **Slide 4 (Step 2)** STEP 2: It gets a reply in 5 minutes. Money loves speed. The contractor who answers first usually wins the job. **Slide 5 (Step 3)** STEP 3: It gets chased. If they go quiet, the follow-up keeps going. No quote dies because you forgot. **Slide 6 (Step 4)** STEP 4: It gets booked. The conversation moves to a time on your calendar. You show up, you swing the hammer. **Slide 7 (The point)** You never log in. You never babysit it. The machine catches the lead the second it arrives, so you never lose it to a faster guy. **Slide 8 (Mid CTA)** Want to see how the follow-up machine works, step by step? Comment LEAK and I'll send it. Free Lead Loss Audit link in the comments. ### Caption Here's a question worth sitting with. The second a new lead hits your phone, what actually happens to it? For most contractors the honest answer is: it waits. It sits there while you're on a job, driving, or up a ladder. And every minute it sits, it cools off. By the time you call back, they already hired the guy who picked up first. A real follow-up machine flips that. The lead gets answered in seconds, gets a reply inside five minutes, gets chased if it goes quiet, and gets booked onto your calendar. All of it running whether you're awake or not. You don't log in. You don't manage it. You show up to the jobs it books. That is the difference between a phone full of missed chances and a calendar full of work. Want to see how it works, step by step?

The contractor who answers first usually wins. ### Slides **Slide 1 (Hook)** Speed is the whole game. The contractor who answers first usually wins the job. Here's the rule. **Slide 2 (The rule)** THE 5-MINUTE RULE. Reply to a new lead inside 5 minutes and your odds of booking them go way up. Wait longer and they cool fast. **Slide 3 (The reality)** But you're a contractor. You can't stop mid-job to text every lead in 5 minutes. So most of them wait hours. Some all day. **Slide 4 (The cost)** A lead that waits is a lead you lose. That's a $5,000 job that called your competitor while your phone sat in the truck. **Slide 5 (The fix)** So the reply can't depend on you being free. Instant text-back fires the second a lead comes in. Every time. Even when you're elbow-deep in a job. **Slide 6 (What it does)** It answers, it qualifies, it keeps them warm until you can talk. The lead feels chased in seconds, not forgotten for hours. **Slide 7 (The outcome)** You keep working. The lead keeps warming. You stop losing jobs to whoever happened to be near their phone. **Slide 8 (Mid CTA)** Want to see how the 5-minute machine runs without you? Comment LEAK and I'll send the breakdown. Free Lead Loss Audit link in the comments. ### Caption There's a number that quietly decides who wins the job. Five minutes. Reply to a fresh lead inside five minutes and your odds of booking them climb hard. Let it sit for an hour and most of that lead's interest is gone. Let it sit all day and you've handed it to whoever called back faster. Here's the problem. You're a contractor. You can't drop a ladder to text every lead the moment it lands. So they wait. And a lead that waits is a lead you lose. That's a real job, real money, gone to a competitor who just happened to be near their phone. The fix isn't trying harder. It's making the reply automatic. Instant text-back hits every new lead in seconds, answers them, keeps them warm, and holds them until you can talk. You keep working. The lead keeps warming. Money loves speed. Stop losing jobs to the clock. Want to see how the 5-minute machine runs without you lifting a finger? Comment LEAK and I'll send the breakdown.

Works nights, weekends, and when you're up a ladder. Never calls in sick. **Slide 2 (The comparison)** A part-time dispatcher runs you $3,000 a month. And clocks out at 5pm. No nights. No weekends. No reviews. No database. **Slide 3 (What this one does, 1)** This one answers every call. 24/7. The 7pm lead doesn't go to voicemail. It gets a real conversation. **Slide 4 (What it does, 2)** It texts back in 5 minutes. Every lead. While you're still on the job. Nothing waits. **Slide 5 (What it does, 3)** It chases dead quotes, asks every happy customer for a review, and wakes up your old database. **Slide 6 (The math)** Dispatcher: $3K a month, partial coverage. This: a fraction of that, full coverage, around the clock. You do the math. **Slide 7 (The real point)** It's not about saving on staff. It's about catching the jobs that were already walking out the door while nobody was watching. **Slide 8 (Mid CTA)** Want to see exactly what your cheapest employee handles? Comment LEAK and I'll send the breakdown. Free Lead Loss Audit link in the comments. ### Caption Let me introduce the cheapest employee you'll ever hire. It works nights. It works weekends. It works while you're up a ladder with your phone in the truck. It never calls in sick and never quits on you in July. Compare that to a part-time dispatcher. Three grand a month, and they clock out at five. No nights. No weekends. No asking for reviews. No reviving your old customers. A lot of money for partial coverage. This one answers every call around the clock, texts every lead back inside five minutes, chases the quotes that go quiet, asks your happy customers for reviews, and wakes up the database sitting cold in your phone. But here's the real point. This was never about saving on staff. It's about catching the jobs that were already walking out the door while nobody was watching. That's the money.

Here's what happened. **Slide 2 (The before)** Kyle Wood runs Storefront Awning. His leads lived in Word docs. Chased from memory. So deals quietly slipped through the cracks. **Slide 3 (The problem)** It wasn't a leads problem. The leads were already there. They just kept getting forgotten. **Slide 4 (What we built)** We installed the machine. A real CRM, a visual pipeline, automatic follow-up, and database reactivation. Nothing chased from memory anymore. **Slide 5 (The trade show)** At one trade show we added QR capture. Scan, and the lead drops straight into the follow-up system. No business card lost in a jacket pocket. **Slide 6 (The result)** 22 deals closed, all traced back to the system. 4 of them from that single trade show. Social output tripled. Leads stopped getting forgotten. **Slide 7 (The lesson)** The leads were already his. They just needed a system that didn't forget them. That's recovery, not more spend. **Slide 8 (Mid CTA)** Want to see how the same machine would map your leaks? Comment LEAK and I'll send it.

So deals slipped. Not because he wasn't hustling, but because there was no system holding it all together. That's the thing. It was never a leads problem. The leads were already there. They just kept getting forgotten. So we built the machine. A proper CRM, a visual pipeline, automatic follow-up, database reactivation. We even added QR capture at a trade show so a scan dropped a lead straight into the system instead of a business card disappearing into a jacket. The result: 22 deals closed, all traced back to the system. Four of them from that one trade show. His social output tripled. And the leads stopped slipping through the cracks. He didn't buy more leads. He stopped losing the ones he already had. Want to see how the same machine would map the leaks in your business? Comment LEAK and I'll send it.

It's time to own a business. ### Slides **Slide 1 (Hook)** You built a trade. It's time to own a business. Here's the ladder, in order. **Slide 2 (Why order matters)** Most contractors skip steps and waste money. You can't fill a leaky bucket. So we go in this order, every time. **Slide 3 (Stage 1)** STAGE 1: Foundation. A front door that holds leads. Every form, call, and click lands somewhere and triggers the next step. Not the star, just solid. **Slide 4 (Stage 2)** STAGE 2: Stop the leaks. The 24/7 follow-up department. Answer, text back, chase quotes, ask for reviews, revive the database. Plug every hole. **Slide 5 (Stage 3)** STAGE 3: Fill the bucket. Only now do we add more traffic. Because every new lead lands in a system that won't drop it. **Slide 6 (The mistake)** Skip to Stage 3 first and you just pour money into the holes. That's what burned most contractors before. More leads, same leaks. **Slide 7 (The payoff)** Done in order: a business that books jobs while you sleep and gives you your evenings back. Owner, not dispatcher. **Slide 8 (Mid CTA)** Want to know which stage your business is actually on? Comment LEAK and I'll send the breakdown. Free Lead Loss Audit link in the comments. ### Caption You built a trade. Years of it. The skill is real. But a trade and a business that runs without you are two different things, and the gap is what keeps you at the kitchen table at 9pm. There's a ladder out of that, and the order matters more than anything. Stage one is the foundation. A front door that actually holds leads, where every form and call triggers the next step. Not flashy, just solid. Stage two is stopping the leaks. The 24/7 follow-up department that answers, texts back, chases dead quotes, asks for reviews, and revives your old database. This is where the money hiding in your business gets recovered. Stage three is filling the bucket. More traffic, more leads. But only now, because every new lead finally lands in a system that won't drop it. Most contractors get sold stage three first. More leads into the same leaks. That's the burn.

And most contractors never ask. ### Slides **Slide 1 (Hook)** Reviews are the new word of mouth. And most contractors never ask. That's a leak you can't afford. **Slide 2 (The old way)** Word of mouth used to be enough. A neighbor told a neighbor. But now the neighbor checks Google first, before they ever call you. **Slide 3 (The problem)** You do great work. Then the customer moves on, happy, and never leaves a review. So the next person can't see the proof. **Slide 4 (The cost)** The contractor with 80 reviews wins the call. The one with 6 gets skipped. Same skill. Different proof. **Slide 5 (Why it doesn't happen)** It's not that you don't deserve reviews. You're just slammed, and asking at the right moment slips your mind every single time. **Slide 6 (The fix)** So the ask becomes automatic. The job wraps, the request goes out, the happy customer leaves the review. No reminder needed from you. **Slide 7 (The compound)** Reviews stack. Month after month.

Free Lead Loss Audit link in the comments. ### Caption Word of mouth still matters. It just moved. These days, before a neighbor ever calls you, they check Google. And what they see there decides whether your phone rings at all. Here's the leak. You do great work, the customer leaves happy, and nobody ever leaves a review. Multiply that by years of jobs and you've got a wall of proof that should exist and doesn't. Meanwhile the contractor with 80 reviews wins the call, and the one with 6 gets skipped. Same skill. Same quality. Different proof on the page. It's not that you don't deserve those reviews. You're slammed, and asking at the perfect moment slips your mind every time. So the fix is to make the ask automatic. Job wraps, the request goes out, the happy customer leaves the review. You don't lift a finger.

They're the warmest leads you will ever have, and they cost nothing. **Slide 4 (What happens now)** Right now? Nothing. That list just sits there while you spend money chasing cold strangers on Google. **Slide 5 (The fix)** Dead-lead revival wakes the list back up. A simple, well-timed message goes out and reminds them you're there. Some of them are ready right now. **Slide 6 (The proof angle)** We did this for an awning company in Orillia.

Your speed: how fast a new lead actually hears back from you. Your quotes and reviews: how many estimates die quietly with no follow-up, and how many happy customers were never asked to leave a review. Your database and your front door: whether your past customers are being revived, and whether your website even holds a lead when one lands. At the end you get a clear leak map.
