Are free estimates hurting your business? It's time to rethink your approach! Many contractors offer "free estimates," but this practice may be devaluing your expertise. Clients often don't appreciate the time and knowledge that goes into these estimates because they come at no cost. Instead, consider offering paid consultations. This approach will: ☑️ Showcase your professionalism ☑️ Provide real value through on-site assessments ☑️ Offer detailed scopes of work ☑️ Calculate precise material quantities ☑️ Share your years of experience and insights By charging for consultations, you: ☑️ Weed out tire-kickers ☑️ Demonstrate the value of your expertise ☑️ Increase client commitment Ready to make this shift? Learn how to effectively sell consultations and communicate your worth to potential clients. Learn how in #TileLetter's article: https://lnkd.in/e8GDPrpk #ContractorTips #BusinessGrowth #ProfessionalServices
Transform your "estimates" to "consultations" and get paid for your time - TileLetter
