Why Most Home Service Businesses Can't Get a Straight Answer From Their Marketer (And What to Do About It)

If you run a roofing company, a plumbing business, a remodeling crew or any other home service operation, you've probably been in this situation. You sit down with a marketing agency. They talk for an hour. They show you slides. They promise results. And when you ask the one question that actually matters to you - "how much is it going to cost me to get a new customer?" - you get anything but a straight answer. That's not an accident.

So I've sat through the meetings. I've listened to the pitches. I've handed over money to agencies who sent me reports I didn't understand and results I couldn't measure. Every time I asked a simple question like "how much is it going to cost me to land one new customer?" I'd get a long answer that didn't actually answer anything. I stopped trusting marketers a while ago. Not because I think marketing doesn't work. It clearly does. I just couldn't find anyone who would talk to me straight. The Question Nobody Would Answer Here's all I really wanted ...
