5 Ways Contractors Can Close More Leads

Most contractors leave money on the table by not following up effectively. Here are 5 proven strategies.

1. Respond Within 5 Minutes

Studies show that responding within 5 minutes increases your chance of closing by 400%. Smart CRM Lite sends instant alerts so you never miss a hot lead.

2. Use Multiple Contact Methods

Don't just email. Text. Call. Send a WhatsApp message. Meet your customers where they are.

3. Qualify Leads Quickly

Not every lead is worth the same effort. Focus on high-value, high-intent leads first. Smart CRM Lite's AI scoring helps you prioritize.

4. Follow Up Persistently

Most sales happen after 5+ touchpoints. Set up automated follow-up reminders so leads don't slip through the cracks.

5. Make Booking Easy

Include a scheduling link in every communication. Smart Booking lets customers pick a time that works for both of you.
