The 3 CRM Mistakes That Cost Contractors Thousands
A good CRM can transform your business. A poorly used one is just an expensive address book.
Mistake #1: Not Following Up

Mistake #2: No Automation
If your team is manually sending every email and text, they're wasting hours every week.
Mistake #3: Not Tracking Sources

The fix? Set up proper lead source tracking, automate your follow-ups, and actually use the data.
